Product-level errors
Even when a job is accepted, there may be errors while collecting data on individual products. This is indicated with the success attribute being false and with a given reason attribute.
When an error occurs, we don't deduct any credits. The only exception is for reason not found (see below) as this is a valid response and it takes us the same amount of effort to find this out.

| Reason codes | Meaning |
|---|---|
not found | We have successfully searched for the given product, but it is not currently present on the source. |
