NAME
       Twitter::API::Error - Twitter API exception


VERSION
       version 1.0006


SYNOPSIS
           use Try::Tiny;
           use Twitter::API;
           use Twitter::API::Util 'is_twitter_api_error';

           my $client = Twitter::API->new(%options);

           try {
               my $r = $client->get('account/verify_credentials');
           }
           catch {
               die $_ unless is_twitter_api_error($_);

               warn "Twitter says: ", $_->twitter_error_text;
           };


DESCRIPTION
       Twitter::API dies, throwing a Twitter::API::Error exception when it receives an error. The error object
       contains information about the error so your code can decide how to respond to various error conditions.


METHODS
   http_request
       Returns the HTTP::Request object used to make the Twitter API call.

   http_response
       Returns the HTTP::Response object for the API call.

   twitter_error
       Returns the inflated JSON error response from Twitter (if any).

   stack_trace
       Returns a Devel::StackTrace object encapsulating the call stack so you can discover, where, in your
       application the error occurred.

   stack_frame
       Delegates to "stack_trace->frame". See Devel::StackTrace for details.

   next_stack_fram
       Delegates to "stack_trace->next_frame". See Devel::StackTrace for details.

   error
       Returns a reasonable string representation of the exception. If Twitter returned error information in the
       form of a JSON body, it is mined for error text. Otherwise, the HTTP response status line is used. The
       stack frame is mined for the point in your application where the request initiated and appended to the
       message.

       When used in a string context, "error" is called to stringify exception.

   twitter_error_code
       Returns the numeric error code returned by Twitter, or 0 if there is none. See
       <https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/basics/response-codes> for details.

   is_token_error
       Returns true if the error represents a problem with the access token or its Twitter account, rather than
       with the resource being accessed.

       Some Twitter error codes indicate a problem with authentication or the token/secret used to make the API
       call. For example, the account has been suspended or access to the application revoked by the user. Other
       error codes indicate a problem with the resource requested. For example, the target account no longer
       exists.

       is_token_error returns true for the following Twitter API errors:

       •   32: Could not authenticate you

       •   64: Your account is suspended and is not permitted to access this feature

       •   88: Rate limit exceeded

       •   89: Invalid or expired token

       •   99: Unable to verify your credentials.

       •   135: Could not authenticate you

       •   136: You have been blocked from viewing this user's profile.

       •   215: Bad authentication data

       •   226: This request looks like it might be automated. To protect our users from spam and other
           malicious activity, we canXt complete this action right now.

       •   326: To protect our users from spamX

       For error 215, Twitter's API documentation says, "Typically sent with 1.1 responses with HTTP code 400.
       The method requires authentication but it was not presented or was wholly invalid." In practice, though,
       this error seems to be spurious, and often succeeds if retried, even with the same tokens.

       The Twitter API documentation describes error code 226, but in practice, they use code 326 instead, so we
       check for both. This error code means the account the tokens belong to has been locked for spam like
       activity and can't be used by the API until the user takes action to unlock their account.

       See Twitter's Error Codes & Responses <https://dev.twitter.com/overview/api/response-codes> documentation
       for more information.

   http_response_code
       Delegates to "http_response->code". Returns the HTTP status code of the response.

   is_pemanent_error
       Returns true for HTTP status codes representing an error and with values less than 500. Typically,
       retrying an API call with one of these statuses right away will simply result in the same error, again.

   is_temporary_error
       Returns true or HTTP status codes of 500 or greater. Often, these errors indicate a transient condition.
       Retrying the API call right away may result in success. See the RetryOnError for automatically retrying
       temporary errors.
