```## Best Practices- •Always check the `errors` array, even on 2xx responses
- •Use error `code` for programmatic handling, not HTTP status alone
- •Implement retry with exponential backoff for 500 and 429 errors
- •Log the full error response for debuggingBack to Documentation#### On this pageBack to topESC↑↓ to navigate↵ to openESC to close
