Troubleshooting
General Troubleshooting
- Enable debug mode
- Make sure you're using the latest Node client
- Capture the response data and check your logs — often this will have the exact error
Enable Debug Mode
Debug mode prints out the underlying request information as well as the data payload that gets sent to Sendwithus. You will most likely find this information in your logs. To enable it, simply put debug=true
as a parameter when instantiating the API object. Use the debug mode to compare the data payload getting sent to Sendwithus' API docs.
var api = require('sendwithus')('API_KEY', debug=true);
Response Ranges
Sendwithus' API typically sends responses back in these ranges:
- 2xx – Successful Request
- 4xx – Failed Request (Client error)
- 5xx – Failed Request (Server error)
If you're receiving an error in the 400 response range follow these steps:
- Double check the data and ID's getting passed to Sendwithus
- Ensure your API key is correct
- Log and check the body of the response
