Errors

What the SDK throws, and what to do about it.

The SDK throws one of three errors. The API's own codes are listed in Errors.

ErrorWhen
GoomzoErrorThe API answered with an error.
GoomzoConnectionErrorNo answer came: the network failed, or it took too long.
WebhookVerificationErrorA webhook's signature or timestamp didn't check out.

Handle an error

import { GoomzoError } from '@goomzo/sdk'

try {
  await goomzo.messages.sendOne({ to: '0712345678', channel: 'sms', content: { text: 'Hi' } })
} catch (error) {
  if (error instanceof GoomzoError && error.code === 'invalid') {
    console.log(error.fields) // { "messages[0].to": { code: "invalid", message: "Add the country code…" } }
  }
  throw error
}
FieldDescription
statusNumber. The HTTP status, such as 400.
codeString. What went wrong, such as invalid, not_found or insufficient_sms.
messageString. What the API said, in words.
fieldsObject. The fields that were wrong, by where they are, such as customers[1].phone.
requestIdString. The request's id. Include it when you contact Goomzo.

GoomzoConnectionError has timedOut, true when the request took longer than the timeout.

Retries

Network errors, 429 and 5xx are tried again before anything is thrown, twice by default, waiting as long as the API asks. Every POST carries the same Idempotency-Key on each try, so nothing is done twice.
