Exceptions

When you make a request via the SDK, there is a chance of request failing due to various reasons. When such a failure happens, an exception corresponding to the error occurred is thrown.

---

Possible Exceptions

• BadRequestException If the request returns with status code 400

• UnauthorizedException If the request returns with status code 401

• ForbiddenException If the request returns with status code 403

• NotFoundException If the request returns with status code 404

• MethodNotAllowedException If the request returns with status code 405

• TooManyRequestsException If the request returns with status code 429

• PleaseContactBunqException If the request returns with status code 500. If you get this exception, please contact us preferably via the support chat in the bunq app.

• UnknownApiErrorException If none of the above mentioned exceptions are thrown, this exception will be thrown instead.

For more information regarding these errors, please take a look on the documentation page here:

Base exception

All the exceptions have the same base exception which looks like this:

<?php
class ApiException extends Exception
{
    /**
     * @var int
     */
    private $responseCode;

    /**
     * @param string $message
     * @param int $responseCode
     */
    public function __construct(string $message, int $responseCode)
    {
        // Some hidden code
    }

    /**
     * @return int
     */
    public function getResponseCode(): int
    {
        return $this->responseCode;
    }
}

The Exception class which is being extended has an getMessage() method which is final and therefore cannot be overridden.

This means that each exception will have a response code and an error message related to the specific error returned by API.

Exception handling

Since each API error has a distinct SDK exception type corresponding to it, you can catch the exact exceptions you expect 👏.

<?php
use bunq\Context\ApiContext;
use bunq\Util\BunqEnumApiEnvironmentType;
use bunq\Exception\BadRequestException;


const API_KEY = 'Some invalid API key '; 
const DEVICE_DESCRIPTION = 'This will cause BadRequestException to be thrown.';

try{
    // Make a call that might fail
    $apiContext = ApiContext::create(BunqEnumApiEnvironmentType::SANDBOX(), API_KEY, DEVICE_DESCRIPTION);
} catch (BadRequestException $error){
    // Do something if exception is thrown.
    echo $error->getResponseCode() . PHP_EOL;
    echo $error->getMessage() . PHP_EOL;
}
