Objective-C API 2 - dealing with error codes
Hello, In transitioning my API 1 Obj-C code over to API 2, I'm slightly confused over how to deal with certain error codes in API 2 - or even how to locate them properly. # 1. Create Folder E...

I see, if you're looking for that case in particular, in API v2 lock contention is now a 429 with a structured too_many_write_operations error. In the SDK that should be a DBAUTHRateLimitError with a TooManyWriteOperations DBAUTHRateLimitReason.

10 years agoI don't believe there's any case where you necessarily need to check the status code directly. The translation is here if you're interested, but a 503 will yield a DBRequestErrorInternalServer and a 429 will yield a DBRequestErrorRateLimit, so you don't need to access the statusCode directly for either of those. Further, anything not specifically covered there will be a DBRequestErrorHttp.

Great, thank you! With regard to a 503, though, a DBRequestErrorInternalServer is just a generic "anything over 500" error, isn't it? So if I want to check specifically for a file lock error, is it safe still to check for the 503 error? (That is, will DBError report a status code of 503 in this case?)
All the best,
Keith
