Why You’re Seeing This Error

The "We can't access the page" error appears when Iris’s web scraping tool is unable to access the content of the page. This typically happens when the page is restricted or requires permissions that Iris doesn’t have.

Common Reasons for the Error

  1. Restricted Access: The page is behind a login, paywall, or has other content restrictions.

  2. Private Network: The page is hosted on an internal network or VPN that Iris cannot access.

  3. Blocked by Site: The website actively blocks scraping tools or specific IPs.
