How should I handle API errors?

schedule Last updated: December 25, 2025
Our API uses standard HTTP status codes to indicate success or failure. 200 means success, 401 indicates invalid API key, 429 means rate limit exceeded, and 500 indicates a server error. Each error response includes a descriptive message and error code for easy debugging. We recommend implementing exponential backoff for rate limit errors and caching successful responses when possible. For persistent errors, check our API documentation or contact support. All errors are logged for troubleshooting purposes.
