Best Practices for Handling Errors

1. Check Error Messages: Every error response includes a descriptive message to help pinpoint the issue.
2. Implement Retries with Backoff: Use exponential backoff (e.g., 1s, 2s, 4s) when handling transient errors like 429 Too Many Requests or 500 Internal Server Error.
3. Validate Requests Before Sending: Ensure required parameters are included and correctly formatted.
4. Monitor Rate Limits: Avoid hitting rate limits by keeping track of API usage and applying caching strategies.
5. Graceful Degradation: If an error occurs, provide fallback behavior (e.g., displaying cached data instead of failing completely).
6. Log Errors: Capture and analyze errors to improve request handling and debug failures efficiently.
