# Mojeek returns HTTP 200 for bad API keys, check response status not the status code

## TL;DR

Never treat HTTP 200 from the Mojeek search API as success. After every call, read response.status in the JSON body: it is OK on success or an error message like Access Denied: invalid key/password or ERROR: Daily Limit Reached on failure. The classic bug is an agent reporting search results from a call that actually failed, because it only checked the HTTP code.

Use this when you see this exact error.

**When not to use this skill:** a different error message. The steps below target this specific failure.

## Compatibility

The steps above apply to the commands named in them. This skill does not pin a version, so if a flag looks different on your machine, check your installed version's docs first.

## Details

Context: Mojeek official docs (Search JSON Response Format): documents the status-envelope gotcha agents hit. The output is wrapped in a single response object whose status field is OK on success or an error message like ERROR: Daily Limit Reached on failure. The example given is the daily quota: ERROR: Daily Limit Reached, delivered inside the response body rather than as an HTTP error code.
