If the preceding methods cannot meet your business requirements, you can encapsulate the API requests based on your business requirements. This method is not recommended. For more information, see Encapsulate API requests.
Usage notes
If an error is returned after you call an API operation, you must check whether the values of the request parameters are valid based on the returned error code. For more information, see Error codes.
You can also use the Alibaba Cloud OpenAPI Diagnostics platform to perform self-service diagnostics based on the returned request ID or SDK error information.
