Error Handling Best Practices

1. Always Check Status Codes

2. Handle Rate Limiting

3. Implement Retry Logic

4. Log Request IDs

Always include the requestId from error responses when contacting support:

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Invalid API Key

  • Verify the API key is correct and active
  • Check that you’re using the Bearer prefix
  • Ensure there are no extra spaces or characters

Invalid Parameters

  • Check parameter names are spelled correctly
  • Verify enum values match the allowed options
  • Ensure date formats are YYYY-MM-DD

Rate Limiting

  • By default, we process a maximum of 1.000 requests per hour
  • If you need different limits, contact api-support@fyndera.be
  • Implement exponential backoff for retries

Network Issues

  • Check your internet connection
  • Verify the API endpoint URL is correct
  • Try the request again after a short delay
