Exceptions

Should an error occur anywhere in the call to a function (whether that be in the wrapper or the REST API itself), an exception will be raised.

All normal Python exceptions exist that can be trapped, however, the wrapper implements a new exception:

SpaceXReadTimeOut

This exception occurs when the API times out for any reason. It can be trapped, and possibly a retry or other action performed as appropriate, for example:

try:
    capsules_data = keyOrder(alphaOrder(spacexpython.capsules.capsules('',1)),'capsule_serial')
except spacexpython.utils.SpaceXReadTimeOut:
    print("Failure on retrieval of capsule information")
