Handle errors

When a request fails, the SDK throws an error with the HTTP status and details from the API.

Catch errors

try {
  await paperful.papers.get("00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000");
} catch (error: any) {
  if (error.status === 404) {
    console.log("Paper not found");
  } else {
    throw error;
  }
}
