API Errors

The CDP API uses conventional HTTP response codes to indicate the success or failure of an API request. In general:

Codes in the 2xx range indicate success
Codes in the 4xx range indicate an error that failed given the information provided (e.g., a required parameter was omitted)
Codes in the 5xx range indicate an error on CDP’s backend servers.
5xx errors are not a guarantee of failure; there’s always the chance that the operation may have succeeded in our back-end. Therefore, your application should treat the operation’s status as unknown.

Each error response includes:

errorType: A machine-readable error code
errorMessage: A human-readable message providing more detail
correlationId: A unique identifier for the request that can help with debugging
errorLink: A link to detailed documentation about the specific error type

HTTP 400

invalid_request

This error occurs when the request is malformed or contains invalid data, including issues with the request body, query parameters, path parameters, or headers. Steps to resolve:

Check all required fields and parameters are present
Ensure request body (if applicable) follows the correct schema
Verify all parameter formats match the API specification:
- Query parameters
- Path parameters
- Request headers
Validate any addresses, IDs, or other formatted strings meet requirements

Common validation issues:

Missing required parameters
Invalid parameter types or formats
Malformed JSON in request body
Invalid enum values

}

Network Errors

Network errors occur when there is a problem establishing or maintaining a connection to the CDP API at the network layer. These errors are distinct from API service errors - they indicate that your request never reached the CDP API or was blocked before it could be processed.

Understanding Network Errors

When you encounter a network error via the CDP SDK, you’ll receive a NetworkError object with:

statusCode: Always 0 (indicating no HTTP response was received)
errorType: Specific type of network error
errorMessage: Human-readable description
networkDetails: Additional information including:
- code: Technical error code
- message: Original error message
- retryable: Whether the operation should be retried

Types of Network Errors

1. IP Blocked (`network_ip_blocked`)

Your IP address has been blocked at the gateway level. Common causes:

Geographic restrictions.
Rate limiting at infrastructure level.
Security policies or DDoS protection.
Corporate firewall/proxy restrictions.

What to do:

Verify you’re not accessing from a restricted region.
Check if you’re behind a VPN or proxy that might be blocked.
Contact CDP support on Discord if you believe this is in error.
This error is not retryable.

2. Connection Failed (`network_connection_failed`)

Unable to establish a connection to the CDP API. Common causes:

CDP API is temporarily unavailable. Check the CDP Status Page for any ongoing issues.
Network connectivity issues.
Firewall blocking outbound HTTPS connections.
Incorrect API endpoint configuration.

What to do:

Check your internet connection.
Verify firewall settings allow HTTPS traffic to api.cdp.coinbase.com.
Ensure you’re using the correct API endpoint.
This error is retryable. Retry the request with exponential backoff.

3. Timeout (`network_timeout`)

The request took too long and was terminated. Common causes:

Network congestion.
Slow internet connection.

What to do:

Increase timeout settings if consistently timing out.
This error is retryable. Retry the request with exponential backoff.

4. DNS Failure (`network_dns_failure`)

Unable to resolve the CDP API domain name. Common causes:

DNS configuration issues.
Network connectivity problems.
DNS server unavailable.
Incorrect API endpoint URL.

What to do:

Check your DNS settings.
Verify network connectivity with nslookup api.cdp.coinbase.com.
Try using a different DNS server (e.g., 8.8.8.8).
Ensure the API URL is correct.
This error is not retryable until DNS is fixed.

Handling Network Errors in Code

import { NetworkError } from '@coinbase/cdp-sdk';

try {
  const account = await cdp.evm.getAccount({ address: '0x...' });
} catch (error) {
  if (error instanceof NetworkError) {
    console.error(`Network error: ` + error.errorMessage);
    console.error(`Type: ` + error.errorType);
    console.error(`Details:` + error.networkDetails);
    
    // Check if the error is retryable
    if (error.networkDetails?.retryable) {
      // Implement retry logic with exponential backoff
      await retryWithBackoff(async () => {
        return await cdp.evm.getAccount({ address: '0x...' });
      });
    } else {
      // Handle non-retryable errors
      if (error.errorType === "network_ip_blocked") {
        console.error('Your IP appears to be blocked. Please check your network configuration.');
      }
    }
  }
}

Best Practices

Implement Retry Logic: For retryable errors, use exponential backoff:

async function retryWithBackoff<T>(
  fn: () => Promise<T>,
  maxRetries = 3,
  baseDelay = 1000
): Promise<T> {
  for (let i = 0; i < maxRetries; i++) {
    try {
      return await fn();
    } catch (error) {
      if (error instanceof NetworkError && error.networkDetails?.retryable && i < maxRetries - 1) {
        await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, baseDelay * Math.pow(2, i)));
        continue;
      }
      throw error;
    }
  }
  throw new Error('Max retries exceeded');
}

Log Network Errors: Always log network errors with full details for debugging.
Monitor Patterns: Track network errors to identify patterns (time of day, specific operations, etc.).
Have Fallback Strategies: Consider implementing fallback mechanisms for critical operations.

Troubleshooting Checklist

Verify internet connectivity.
Check if you’re behind a proxy or VPN.
Ensure firewall allows HTTPS traffic to api.cdp.coinbase.com.
Verify you’re not in a restricted geographic region.
Check DNS resolution: nslookup api.cdp.coinbase.com.
Test with curl or similar: curl -I https://api.cdp.coinbase.com/platform.
Check if the issue is consistent or intermittent.

Getting Help

If you continue to experience network errors after following this guide:

Collect error details including:
- Full error message and type.
- Network details from the error.
- Time and frequency of occurrence.
- Your network configuration (proxy, VPN, region).
Contact CDP support on Discord with this information.
Check the CDP Status Page for any ongoing issues.

Remember: Network errors are typically environmental issues rather than code problems. Focus on network configuration and connectivity when troubleshooting.
