Error Handling is an essential aspect of API development. This section provides guidelines and examples to help you effectively handle errors when working with our APIs.

Common Error Responses

  • 404 Not Found: This error indicates that the requested resource could not be found on the server.
  • 401 Unauthorized: This error occurs when the request requires user authentication.
  • 403 Forbidden: This error occurs when the user is authenticated but lacks the necessary permissions to access the requested resource.
  • 500 Internal Server Error: This error is a generic error message returned when an unexpected condition was encountered.

Handling Errors in Your Code

To handle errors, you should always check the status code of the response and handle it accordingly. Here is an example in Python:

import requests

response = requests.get("/path/to/api")
if response.status_code == 200:
    # Process the data
    data = response.json()
else:
    # Handle the error
    print(f"An error occurred: {response.status_code}")
