Defined in:

lib/sec_api/errors/server_error.rb

Overview

Raised when sec-api.io returns a server error (5xx status code).

Why TransientError? Server errors (500, 502, 503, 504) typically indicate temporary infrastructure issues - service restart, brief overload, upstream timeout. The request is valid; the server is temporarily unhealthy. Worth retrying with exponential backoff.

This is a transient error - the retry middleware will automatically retry the request. Server errors typically indicate temporary issues with the sec-api.io infrastructure.

Examples:

Handling server errors

begin
  client.query.ticker("AAPL").search
rescue SecApi::ServerError => e
  # Retries exhausted - persistent server issue
  logger.error("Server error: #{e.message}")
  alert_on_call_team(e)
end
