Hi Borrow,

 

The "couldn't resolve hostname" error typically indicates an issue with DNS resolution rather than a problem with our API.

 

To troubleshoot this in your application, we would recommend verifying that the hostname is correctly specified in your code and checking the use of other functions. Additionally, ensure your network settings allow DNS queries and that there are no underlying connectivity issues.
