| 429    | Too Many Requests     | Rate limit exceeded (see the two sources below).  |
| 500    | Internal Server Error | An unexpected error occurred.                     |
| 501    | Not Implemented       | Not supported by this integration.                |

 Errors from the underlying integration pass through: the integration's status comes back as ours (429, 401, 403, 404 or 5xx), usually with its message. When the integration's error body is unclear, Unified extracts what it can and returns a clearer message. 

### 429 Too Many Requests

A 429 has two possible sources:

* The integration's own rate limit, passed through.
* Unified's workspace limit: a rolling 60 seconds, set by plan, with the message `Too many requests to unified.to API; max requests per minute: N`.

## Code Samples

### Node.js SDK

```javascript
import { UnifiedTo } from '@unified-api/typescript-sdk';

const sdk = new UnifiedTo({
    security: {
        jwt: '<YOUR_API_KEY_HERE>',
    },
});

const connectionId = '5de520f96e439b002043d8dc';

const id = '1234';

const results = await sdk.healthcare.getHealthcareAppointment({ connectionId, id, 
    fields: '',
    raw: '',
 });
```

### Node.js (axios)

```javascript
const options = {
  method: 'GET',
  url: 'https://api.unified.to/healthcare/5de520f96e439b002043d8dc/appointment/5de520f96e439b002043d8d8',
  headers: {
    authorization: 'bearer .....'
  },
  params: {
    fields: '',
    raw: '',
  }
};

const results = await axios.request(options);
```

### Java

```java
AsyncHttpClient client = new DefaultAsyncHttpClient();

client.prepare("GET", "https://api.unified.to/healthcare/5de520f96e439b002043d8dc/appointment/5de520f96e439b002043d8d8?fields=&raw=")
  .setHeader("accept", "application/json")
  .setHeader("authorization", ".....")
  .execute()
  .toCompletableFuture()
  .thenAccept(System.out::println)
  .join();

client.close();
```

### Go

```go
import (
	"fmt"
	"net/http"
	"io/ioutil"
)

url := `https://api.unified.to/healthcare/5de520f96e439b002043d8dc/appointment/5de520f96e439b002043d8d8?fields=&raw=

req, _ := http.NewRequest("GET", url, nil)

req.Header.Add("accept", "application/json")
req.Header.Add("authorization", ".....")

res, _ := http.DefaultClient.Do(req)

defer res.Body.Close()
body, _ := ioutil.ReadAll(res.Body)
```

### Python

```python
import requests

url = "https://api.unified.to/healthcare/5de520f96e439b002043d8dc/appointment/5de520f96e439b002043d8d8?fields=&raw="

headers = {
    "accept": "application/json",
    "authorization": "....."
}

response = requests.get(url, headers=headers)
```

### PHP

```php
$curl = curl_init();

curl_setopt_array($curl, [
  CURLOPT_URL => "https://api.unified.to/healthcare/5de520f96e439b002043d8dc/appointment/5de520f96e439b002043d8d8?fields=&raw=",
  CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,

```

### Ruby

```ruby
require 'uri'
require 'net/http'
require 'openssl'

url = URI("https://api.unified.to/healthcare/5de520f96e439b002043d8dc/appointment/5de520f96e439b002043d8d8?fields=&raw=")

http = Net::HTTP.new(url.host, url.port)
http.use_ssl = true

request = Net::HTTP::Get.new(url)
request["accept"] = 'application/json'
request["authorization"] = '....'

response = http.request(request)
puts response.read_body
```

### cURL

```bash
curl --request GET \
  --url 'https://api.unified.to/healthcare/5de520f96e439b002043d8dc/appointment/5de520f96e439b002043d8d8?fields=&raw=' \
