Error Handling

All python-arango exceptions inherit :class:`arangoasync.exceptions.ArangoError`, which splits into subclasses :class:`arangoasync.exceptions.ArangoServerError` and :class:`arangoasync.exceptions.ArangoClientError`.

Server Errors

:class:`arangoasync.exceptions.ArangoServerError` exceptions lightly wrap non-2xx HTTP responses coming from ArangoDB. Each exception object contains the error message, error code and HTTP request response details.

Client Errors

:class:`arangoasync.exceptions.ArangoClientError` exceptions originate from python-arango-async client itself. They do not contain error codes nor HTTP request response details.

Example

from arangoasync.exceptions import ArangoClientError, ArangoServerError

try:
    # Some operation that raises an error
except ArangoClientError:
    # An error occurred on the client side
except ArangoServerError:
    # An error occurred on the server side
