Tracing requests

Easier and faster troubleshooting

Troubleshooting is one of our main concerns, and we attempt to solve problems as fast as possible when they happen. For that reason, we have included two HTTP headers in our requests to help with tracing:

• X-Request-ID: generated by the Vumi API, will be returned in the response headers of every request done. This header will not be accepted when passed in requests. It is a unique UUID that will be helpful to include when reporting API errors.

• X-Client-Trace-ID: this optional header will be taken from the request and returned as-is in the response. Helpful to trace requests accross your servers and the Finlink API.

Our reccommendation is to always log this headers in your system, so that it can be easily retrieved and reported when informing an error to us. Providing these headers might improve speed significantly when resolving issues.
