Troubleshooting Guide

For API Consumers (What it means & how to fix)

• Server Issue: This represents a bug or crash on the server side, not a problem with your request. Try again later.
• Report Issue: Contact the API provider’s support team and include the request path and timestamp.

For API Authors (Domain & API Modeler notes)

• Check Server Logs: Retrieve the server logs from the platform dashboard or database console to inspect the stack trace. Common causes include:
  • Database connection timeout or failures.
  • Invalid database migrations or schema mismatches.
  • Runtime edge-case bugs.
