HTTP 426 Upgrade Required Error: Meaning & Fix
The HTTP 426 Upgrade Required error means the server needs a different protocol to process the request. In web scraping, this can happen if the server requires an upgrade to HTTP/2 or another protocol, specified in the response's Upgrade header.
What causes the error?
Incompatible protocol version used by the client
Server requires a newer version of the protocol for enhanced security features
Client's request is made through a deprecated protocol that the server no longer supports
Server configuration mandates a specific protocol for accessing certain resources
# Request example curl -X GET https://sandbox.oxylabs.io/ -H 'Accept: */*;q=0.8' -H 'Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate' -H 'User-Agent: Chrome/91.0.4472.124'
