Troubleshooting

Is there a way to get notified when my order is ready?

Use webhooks to get notifications when a new order has been completed.

You can set it up in one of the following ways:

The agreed upon time period for my tasking order has passed

If a tasking order hasn't been delivered within the agreed time period, contact the Operations team with the order ID to extend the tasking period or get a partial refund. For more information, see Credits refund policy.

I'm not happy with the quality of the received tasking data

If the delivered data has quality issues, report this to the Operations team with the order ID within 7 days of data delivery to extend the tasking period, retask the order, or get a refund. For more information, see Credits refund policy.
