Error Response Best Practices
Location details change infrequently. Implement caching with appropriate TTL (Time To Live) values to reduce API calls and improve performance.
Always implement proper error handling for all possible HTTP status codes. Use the error codes and messages to provide meaningful feedback to users.
Monitor your API usage and implement rate limiting on your side to avoid hitting quotas. Use batch processing where possible.
Validate location IDs before making requests. Ensure they are positive integers and handle edge cases gracefully.
