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 raised.

Possible Exceptions

• BadRequestException If the request returns with status code 400

• 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.

Base exception

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

class ApiException(Exception):
    def __init__(self,
                 message: str,
                 response_code: int) -> None:
        pass

    @property
    def message(self) -> str:
        return self._message

    @property
    def response_code(self) -> int:
        return self._response_code

This means that each exception will have the response code and the error message related to the specific exception that has been raised.

Exception handling

Because we raise different exceptions for each error, you can catch an error if you expect it to be raised.

from bunq.sdk.exception.bad_request_exception import BadRequestException
from bunq.sdk.context.api_context import ApiEnvironmentType, ApiContext

API_KEY = "Some invalid API key"
DESCRIPTION = "This will raise a BadRequestException"

try:
    # Make a call that might raise an exception
    ApiContext.create(ApiEnvironmentType.SANDBOX, API_KEY, DESCRIPTION)
except BadRequestException as error:
    # Do something if exception is raised
    print(error.response_code)
    print(error.message) # or just print(error)
