Properly generate API error responses this way!
👋 Hey there, in this video, I am diving into the nitty-gritty of generating API error responses in a way that makes it easier for both your development team and your API clients.
📝 What is API-Client Contract?
The API-client contract is all about ensuring consistent response formats, just as specified in your API documentation. But what happens when errors occur? Is the response easily decipherable for your clients? I will be exploring a pattern to address this.
🖥 Sample Error Response Pattern
I introduce a well-structured JSON response pattern that can effectively communicate errors. This format includes unique request IDs, operation-specific error codes, concise error messages, and even a URL that provides in-depth error explanations. There's also an optional timestamp for better context.
💡 Practical Examples
I walk you through a practical example involving a 'Files API'. Learn how it handles 'rate limit' or 'API key errors' using recommended pattern. I also talk about how this leads your client to additional steps and examples to resolve the issue.
