Error Handling Best Practices

​

Retry Strategy

1. Retryable Errors
   • Rate limit exceeded (429)
   • Service unavailable (500, 503)
   • Network timeouts
2. Non-Retryable Errors
   • Invalid parameters (400)
   • Authentication errors (401)
   • Invalid schemas (400)

​

Example Error Handling

try:
    response = client.smartscraper(
        website_url="https://example.com",
        user_prompt="Extract data"
    )
except APIError as e:
    print(f"Error: {e.message}")
