# X_SCRAPE_REDIRECT_LOOP

## Means

the HTTP leg followed its hop limit of redirects without an answer

## Typical cause

**terminal.** A chain that does not settle is a property of the endpoint and of the session reaching it — attempt 2 restores the same cookies and walks the same `MAX_REDIRECT_HOPS` (10) hops. The reachable case is a login redirecting to a page that redirects back to the login. Every hop is screened against `allowHosts` and robots and recorded in `page.network()`, so the chain is readable

## Fix

request the URL the chain settles on directly — `page.network()` lists every hop — or repair the credential in `secrets:`
