Improved Error Handling

Improved Error Handling System 🛠️​

We're excited to announce significant improvements to our error handling system! These enhancements deliver clearer diagnostics and a more developer-friendly experience when troubleshooting API issues.

What's New​

🔍 More Detailed Error Messages​

  • Error responses now include specific details about what went wrong
  • Clear suggestions for how to resolve common issues
  • References to relevant documentation where applicable

📊 Better Error Categorization​

  • Consistent HTTP status codes aligned with RESTful best practices
  • Logical grouping of errors by type (authentication, validation, rate limits, etc.)
  • Standardized error formats across all endpoints

🚦 Improved Error Transparency​

  • Clear distinction between user errors and system issues
  • Better visibility into rate limiting with headers showing remaining quota
  • More predictable error behavior for easier integration

Example Response​

Here's an example of our new error response format:

{
  "error": {
    "code": "rate_limit_exceeded",
    "message": "You have exceeded your current quota, please check your plan and billing details.",
    "param": null,
    "type": "quota",
    "details": {
      "limit": 60,
      "remaining": 0,
      "reset": 1703012488
    },
    "documentation_url": "https://apipie.ai/docs/api/rate-limits"
  }
}

Benefits for Developers​

  • Faster Debugging: Pinpoint issues more quickly with specific error details
  • Easier Integration: Consistent error formats make error handling more predictable
  • Better User Experience: Provide more informative feedback to your end users
  • Reduced Support Needs: Clearer error messages mean fewer support tickets

Implementation Details​

This update has been applied across all API endpoints and services. No changes to your integration are required to benefit from these improvements.

We're committed to continuously enhancing the developer experience, and these error handling improvements represent an important step toward making our API more robust and user-friendly.

As always, we welcome your feedback on these changes!
