MS Entra API Connector

Question

I setup an API Connector during a user signup, my api works well and everything looks good, but I am wondering how to handle errors, because I set an non existing URL and I am still able to sign up without any problem, I would expect some error during the signup if entra is not able to communicate with the connector.

Hi @DanK , it is possible that the API connector is failing gracefully and returning a success response even if the URL is incorrect. In this case, you may need to modify your API connector to return an error response if it is unable to communicate with the endpoint. You can add error handling logic to your API connector code by doing something like this:

import requests

def call_api(endpoint_url, auth_token):
    headers = {'Authorization': 'Bearer ' + auth_token}
    response = requests.get(endpoint_url, headers=headers)
    if response.status_code != 200:
        # Return an error response if the API call fails
        return {'error': 'API call failed'}
    else:
        # Return the response data if the API call succeeds
        return response.json()

The call_api function makes a GET request to the specified endpoint URL with the provided authentication token. If the API call fails (i.e., the response status code is not 200), the function returns an error response with a message indicating that the API call failed. If the API call succeeds, the function returns the response data in JSON format.

You can modify this code to handle other types of errors as well, such as network errors or authentication errors. More information here.
