Error Notifications

While requesting data, errors might occur and whenever it is possible, SlashDB tries to provide you with useful information. For instance, if a requested resource doesn't exist, SlashDB will display:

https://demo.slashdb.com/db/Chinook/Invoice/InvoiceId/1000.html

Errors are also provided for data in forms of JSON and XML, so

https://demo.slashdb.com/db/Chinook/Invoice/InvoiceId/1000.json

will produce:

{
  "http_code": 404,
  "description": "The resource could not be found."
}

and

https://demo.slashdb.com/db/Chinook/Invoice/InvoiceId/1000.xml

<SlashDB>
  <http_code>404</http_code>
  <description>The resource could not be found.</description>
</SlashDB>

respectively.

SlashDB also gives users an option to get the error info directly form the Response Headers, placing them under the Warning header i.e. for the previous XML request:

Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8
