Error Handling

Proper error handling ensures your application remains stable even if usage tracking fails.

The Golden Rule

Never let usage tracking failures break your main application!

If tracking fails, log the error and continue. Your users care about your app working, not whether usage was tracked.

Python

1
try:
2
    client.send_usage(agent, customer, indicator, usage_data)
3
except Exception as e:
4
    # Log but don't raise - app continues
5
    logging.warning(f"Failed to track usage: {e}")

Node.js / TypeScript

1
try {
2
  await paygentClient.sendUsage(agent, customer, indicator, usageData);
3
} catch (error) {
4
  // Log but don't throw - app continues normally
5
  console.error('Failed to track usage:', error);
6
}

Go

1
err := client.SendUsage(agent, customer, indicator, usageData)
2
if err != nil {
3
    // Log but don't return error - app continues
4
    log.Printf("warning: failed to track usage: %v", err)
5
}
