The HTTP 424 Failed Dependency error occurs when an action cannot be completed because it depends on a failed prior action. In web scraping, this can happen in multi-step requests, where one failure causes subsequent steps to fail.
A prerequisite action required by the main request fails.
Incorrect or incomplete configurations in dependent systems.
Insufficient permissions to perform an action on a dependent resource.
Network or connectivity issues affecting dependent services.
# Request example curl -X POST https://sandbox.oxylabs.io/ -H 'Accept: application/xml;q=0.9' -H 'Accept-Encoding: br' -H 'User-Agent: Chrome/91.0.4472.124'

Identify the failed dependency. Check the logs or error messages to determine which specific action or resource the request was dependent on that caused the failure.
Resolve the underlying issue. Address the root cause of the failure of the dependent action. This might involve fixing a bug, resolving a server issue, or ensuring that a necessary service is running.
Retry the request. Once the dependency issue has been resolved, attempt the original request again to see if the error persists.
Review and optimize dependencies. Analyze the dependencies of your requests to minimize coupling and reduce
