Struct AnthropicError 

pub struct AnthropicError {
    pub error: AnthropicErrorDetails,
    pub request_id: Option<String>,
}

API error message from Anthropic.

When Claude Code encounters an API error (e.g., 500, 529 overloaded), it outputs a JSON message with type: "error". This struct captures that error information.

Example JSON

{
  "type": "error",
  "error": {
    "type": "api_error",
    "message": "Internal server error"
  },
  "request_id": "req_011CXPC6BqUogB959LWEf52X"
}

Example

use claude_codes::ClaudeOutput;

let json = r#"{"type":"error","error":{"type":"api_error","message":"Internal server error"},"request_id":"req_123"}"#;
let output: ClaudeOutput = serde_json::from_str(json).unwrap();

if let ClaudeOutput::Error(err) = output {
    println!("Error type: {}", err.error.error_type);
    println!("Message: {}", err.error.message);
}

Fields

error: AnthropicErrorDetails

The nested error details

request_id: Option<String>

The request ID for debugging/support

Implementations

pub fn is_server_error(&self) -> bool

Check if this is a server error (HTTP 500)

pub fn is_invalid_request(&self) -> bool

Check if this is an invalid request error (HTTP 400)

pub fn is_authentication_error(&self) -> bool

Check if this is an authentication error (HTTP 401)

pub fn is_rate_limited(&self) -> bool

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for AnthropicError

fn clone(&self) -> AnthropicError

Returns a duplicate of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for AnthropicError

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl<'de> Deserialize<'de> for AnthropicError

fn deserialize<__D>(__deserializer: __D) -> Result<Self, __D::Error>

where __D: Deserializer<'de>,

Deserialize this value from the given Serde deserializer.

impl PartialEq for AnthropicError

fn eq(&self, other: &AnthropicError) -> bool

Tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==.

fn ne(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests for !=. The default implementation is almost always sufficient, and should not be overridden without very good reason.

impl Serialize for AnthropicError

fn serialize<__S>(&self, __serializer: __S) -> Result<__S::Ok, __S::Error>

where __S: Serializer,

Serialize this value into the given Serde serializer.
