Error handling

This page looks at different types of errors that can occur when using the FanPoints SDK.

Missing configuration

If the client is not properly configured, an Exception is raised with the details on why the configuration is faulty.

Request errors

Whenever an operation fails due to invalid inputs (like an invalid user id or an invalid price), a ResponseError is raised. The ResponseError object contains an attribute error_codes with the specific errors raised:

import asyncio
from fanpoints_python import FanpointsClient, ResponseError
from fanpoints_python.types import Currency

client = FanpointsClient(
    partner_id='<your partner id>',
    client_id='<your client id>',
    secret='<your client secret>',
)

async def run():
    try:
        await client.conversion.get_price_in_fan_points(
            price=-10.0,  # negative price
            currency=Currency.chf,
        )
    except ResponseError as e:
        print(e.error_codes)    # ['invalid_reward_amount_error']

asyncio.run(run())

If there is another type of error, an Exception or a GraphQLClientGraphQLMultiError, potentially with more details, is raised.
