API Error Handling
Standardizes RESTful API error responses, custom exception classes, circuit breaker patterns, and centralized logging.
API Error Handling equips Claude Code with production-ready patterns for structuring, logging, and recovering from errors in backend services. It provides standard JSON response schemas with request tracing, custom exception classes for Node.js and Python Flask, and resilience patterns like circuit breakers and retry policies to ensure APIs remain resilient, secure, and developer-friendly.
