How to catch webflow designer API errors?

Hi, I’m developing a designer extension that creates pages based on data from JSON. Everything works fine, but sometimes Webflow gives errors: Network Error, Culd not update the page or just hangs at the moment of updating the page (Webflow usually writes that it saves the changes).
I’ve tried to use Error handling, but no success so far - the errors remain invisible to My application.
Can you tell me if anyone has encountered this before? How can I catch the errors?

Hey @vfeofanov - sorry you’re running into these errors! Happy to look into this further for you… do you mind providing a few more details here so we can triage?

  1. Can you provide screenshots of the errors that surface?
  2. (feel free to DM me) If you can provide a client ID for the App, app name, workspace ID that would be helpful in trying to see what’s happening
  3. Can you list the APIs you’re using that yield these errors? If you have example payloads that trigger these errors more consistently, that would be helpful as well.

Thanks!

I’ve faced similar issues with Webflow before. Sometimes, these errors can be due to network interruptions or conflicts in the JSON data. Have you tried logging the exact moments the errors occur to pinpoint the issue? It might also help to add some delay between updates to see if that reduces the errors.

Hey @KarleeSellers , thank you for recommendations.
The problem is that most often even Delay usually does not help - especially if we are talking about Network error, which can occur with a stable connection.
In general, I encounter two problems - infinite saving (Designer Saving Changes) and a network error.
