### Handling errors
### Handling Errors

When the library is unable to connect to the API, or if the API returns a non-success status code (i.e., 4xx or 5xx response), a subclass of `XTwitterScraper::Errors::APIError` will be thrown:
The SDK raises an `APIError` subclass for connection failures and non-2xx responses:

```ruby
begin
account = x_twitter_scraper.account.retrieve
rescue XTwitterScraper::Errors::APIConnectionError => e
puts("The server could not be reached")
puts(e.cause) # an underlying Exception, likely raised within `net/http`
puts("Could not reach the server. Check the connection.")
puts(e.cause) # Underlying net/http exception.
rescue XTwitterScraper::Errors::RateLimitError => e
puts("A 429 status code was received; we should back off a bit.")
puts("Rate limited. Retry later.")
rescue XTwitterScraper::Errors::APIStatusError => e
puts("Another non-200-range status code was received")
puts("The server returned another non-2xx status.")
puts(e.status)
end
```

### Retries

Certain errors will be automatically retried 2 times by default, with a short exponential backoff.

Connection errors (for example, due to a network connectivity problem), 408 Request Timeout, 409 Conflict, 429 Rate Limit, >=500 Internal errors, and timeouts will all be retried by default.

You can use the `max_retries` option to configure or disable this:
The SDK retries connection errors, timeouts, and HTTP 408, 409, 429, and 5xx responses.
It uses exponential backoff and attempts 2 retries by default.
Set `max_retries` to change or disable retries:

```ruby
# Configure the default for all requests:
# Set the client default:
x_twitter_scraper = XTwitterScraper::Client.new(
max_retries: 0 # default is 2
)

# Or, configure per-request:
# Override one request:
x_twitter_scraper.account.retrieve(request_options: {max_retries: 5})
```

### Timeouts

By default, requests will time out after 60 seconds. You can use the timeout option to configure or disable this:
Requests time out after 60 seconds. Set `timeout` to change or disable this limit:

```ruby
# Configure the default for all requests:
# Set the client default:
x_twitter_scraper = XTwitterScraper::Client.new(
timeout: nil # default is 60
)

# Or, configure per-request:
# Override one request:
x_twitter_scraper.account.retrieve(request_options: {timeout: 5})
```

On timeout, `XTwitterScraper::Errors::APITimeoutError` is raised.

Note that requests that time out are retried by default.
Timed-out requests follow the default retry policy.

### BaseModel

All parameter and response objects inherit from `XTwitterScraper::Internal::Type::BaseModel`, which provides several conveniences, including:

1. All fields, including unknown ones, are accessible with `obj[:prop]` syntax, and can be destructured with `obj => {prop: prop}` or pattern-matching syntax.

2. Structural equivalence for equality; if two API calls return the same values, comparing the responses with == will return true.
All parameter and response objects inherit from `XTwitterScraper::Internal::Type::BaseModel`.
The base model provides these operations:

3. Both instances and the classes themselves can be pretty-printed.
1. Access known and unknown fields with `obj[:prop]`.
2. Destructure fields with `obj => {prop: prop}` or pattern matching.
3. Compare objects by their field values with `==`.
4. Print classes and instances in a readable format.
5. Convert values with `#to_h`, `#deep_to_h`, `#to_json`, or `#to_yaml`.

4. Helpers such as `#to_h`, `#deep_to_h`, `#to_json`, and `#to_yaml`.

#### Undocumented request params
#### Undocumented Request Parameters

If you want to explicitly send an extra param, you can do so with the `extra_query`, `extra_body`, and `extra_headers` under the `request_options:` parameter when making a request, as seen in the examples above.
Pass extra values through `extra_query`, `extra_body`, or `extra_headers` under `request_options:`.

#### Undocumented endpoints
#### Undocumented Endpoints

To make requests to undocumented endpoints while retaining the benefit of auth, retries, and so on, you can make requests using `client.request`, like so:

### Concurrency & connection pooling

The `XTwitterScraper::Client` instances are threadsafe, but are only are fork-safe when there are no in-flight HTTP requests.

Each instance of `XTwitterScraper::Client` has its own HTTP connection pool with a default size of 99. As such, we recommend instantiating the client once per application in most settings.
### Concurrency & Connection Pooling

When all available connections from the pool are checked out, requests wait for a new connection to become available, with queue time counting towards the request timeout.

Unless otherwise specified, other classes in the SDK do not have locks protecting their underlying data structure.
Clients are thread-safe. Fork them only when no HTTP requests are in flight.
Each client has an HTTP connection pool with a default size of 99.
Reuse one client per application in most cases.
Requests wait when every connection is busy. This wait counts toward the request timeout.
Other SDK classes do not lock their data.

## Sorbet

The SDK includes [RBI](https://sorbet.org/docs/rbi) definitions. It does not depend on `sorbet-runtime`.

You can provide typesafe request parameters like so:

```ruby
x_twitter_scraper.x.tweets.search(q: "from:elonmusk", limit: 10)
```

Or, equivalently:
Pass request hashes or typed parameter objects:

```ruby
# Hashes work, but are not typesafe:
# Hashes work without type safety:
x_twitter_scraper.x.tweets.search(q: "from:elonmusk", limit: 10)

# You can also splat a full Params class:
# Splat a complete Params object:
params = XTwitterScraper::X::TweetSearchParams.new(q: "from:elonmusk", limit: 10)
x_twitter_scraper.x.tweets.search(**params)
```

### Enums

Since this library does not depend on `sorbet-runtime`, it cannot provide [`T::Enum`](https://sorbet.org/docs/tenum) instances. Instead, we provide "tagged symbols" instead, which is always a primitive at runtime:
