Error Handling

Guide to handling errors in requests.

The SDK defines specific error classes to handle various issues:

import { SectonError, AuthenticationError, RateLimitError, NetworkError } from 'secton';

try {
  const result = await client.chat(messages);
} catch (error) {
  if (error instanceof AuthenticationError) {
    console.error('Invalid API key');
  } else if (error instanceof RateLimitError) {
    console.error(`Rate limited. Retry after ${error.retryAfter}s`);
  } else if (error instanceof NetworkError) {
    console.error('Network error:', error.message);
  } else {
    console.error('Unknown error:', error);
  }
}

Proper error handling ensures robust application behavior and user experience.
