🚀 Day 4/31, learning consistently.✅

As a technical writer, I've learned that errors can happen in any API request, and it's essential to provide clear and concise information about what caused the error, how to handle it, and how to fix it. 💻

Error codes are like red flags 🚩 that indicate when something has gone wrong in your API. They're crucial to effective API documentation because they help developers troubleshoot issues and debug their code. 🔍

Here are some essential tips for documenting error codes:

🔹 Start with a clear description of the error code and what it represents.

🔹 Explain why the error occurred and what the developer can do to fix it.

🔹 Provide examples of when the error code might be returned.

🔹 Include the HTTP status code and any relevant response headers.

🔹 Document any error-specific details that may be useful for developers.

Remember, documenting error codes is an important aspect of API documentation that should not be overlooked.
