Error Handling

Standard Error Format

{
  "error": {
    "code": "INVALID_REQUEST",
    "message": "The request is invalid",
    "details": {
      "field": "email",
      "reason": "Invalid email format"
    },
    "timestamp": "2024-01-01T00:00:00Z",
    "requestId": "req_123456789"
  }
}

Error Codes

• INVALID_REQUEST: Invalid request parameters

• UNAUTHORIZED: Authentication required

• FORBIDDEN: Insufficient permissions

• NOT_FOUND: Resource not found

• RATE_LIMITED: Rate limit exceeded

• INTERNAL_ERROR: Internal server error

Error Handling Example

try {
  const response = await fetch('/api/v1/user/profile', {
    headers: { 'Authorization': `Bearer ${token}` }
  });
  
  if (!response.ok) {
    const error = await response.json();
    throw new Error(error.error.message);
  }
  
  const data = await response.json();
  console.log(data);
} catch (error) {
  console.error('Error:', error.message);
}

Rate Limiting

Rate Limits

• Free Tier: 1000 requests per hour

• Pro Tier: 10000 requests per hour

• Enterprise: Custom rate limits

Rate Limit Headers

X-RateLimit-Limit: 1000
X-RateLimit-Remaining: 999
X-RateLimit-Reset: 1640995200

Rate Limit Handling

const response = await fetch('/api/v1/user/profile', {
  headers: { 'Authorization': `Bearer ${token}` }
});

const rateLimitRemaining = response.headers.get('X-RateLimit-Remaining');
const rateLimitReset = response.headers.get('X-RateLimit-Reset');

if (rateLimitRemaining === '0') {
  const resetTime = new Date(rateLimitReset * 1000);
  console.log(`Rate limit exceeded. Reset at: ${resetTime}`);
}

Webhooks

Webhook Setup

// Create webhook
const webhook = await fetch('/api/v1/webhooks', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: { 'Authorization': `Bearer ${token}` },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    url: 'https://your-app.com/webhook',
    events: ['message.created', 'user.joined'],
    secret: 'your-webhook-secret'
  })
});

Webhook Payload

{
  "event": "message.created",
  "data": {
    "messageId": "msg_123",
    "communityId": "123",
    "userId": "user_456",
    "content": "Hello, world!",
    "timestamp": "2024-01-01T00:00:00Z"
  },
  "timestamp": "2024-01-01T00:00:00Z"
}

Webhook Verification

const crypto = require('crypto');

function verifyWebhook(payload, signature, secret) {
  const expectedSignature = crypto
    .createHmac('sha256', secret)
    .update(payload)
    .digest('hex');
  
  return signature === `sha256=${expectedSignature}`;
}

Testing

Test Environment

• Base URL: https://api-test.DecNect.com/v1

• Test API Key: Use test API keys for development

• Mock Data: Mock data for testing scenarios

Testing Examples

// Test user creation
const testUser = await fetch('/api/v1/test/users', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: { 'Authorization': `Bearer ${testToken}` },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    email: '[e-mail]',
    displayName: 'Test User'
  })
});

// Test message sending
const testMessage = await fetch('/api/v1/test/messages', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: { 'Authorization': `Bearer ${testToken}` },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    communityId: 'test_123',
    content: 'Test message'
  })
});
