console.error('Error fetching user:', error);
throw error;
}

Python Example
For Python developers, here's how to get started:
from saas_platform import Client
# Initialize the client
client = Client(api_key=os.environ.get('SAAS_API_KEY'))
# Fetch user data
def get_user_data(user_id):
"""Retrieve user information from the API."""
try:
user = client.users.get(user_id)
print(f"User data: {user}")
return user
except Exception as e:
print(f"Error: {e}")
raise
Best Practices
Here are some best practices to help you get the most out of the platform:
Security
Important: Always keep your API keys secure and never commit them to version control. Use environment variables or a secure secrets manager.
- Enable two-factor authentication
- Use strong, unique passwords
- Regularly review your access logs
- Set up IP whitelisting for API access
Performance Optimization
To ensure optimal performance:
- Cache frequently accessed data
- Use batch operations when possible
- Implement proper error handling
- Monitor your API usage
Advanced Configuration
For advanced users, we offer extensive customization options:
// Custom webhook configuration
const webhookConfig = {
url: 'https://demo.saasinminutes.com/webhooks',
events: ['user.created', 'payment.succeeded'],
secret: 'your_webhook_secret',
retryPolicy: {
maxAttempts: 3,
backoffMultiplier: 2
}
};
await client.webhooks.create(webhookConfig);
Troubleshooting
Common Issues
Issue: API requests are failing
- Solution: Check your API key and ensure it's properly configured in your environment variables
Issue: Slow response times
- Solution: Implement caching and ensure you're using the correct API endpoints
Issue: Webhook events not being received
