Making API errors more transparent is crucial for efficient learning and troubleshooting processes in software development. Ensuring that users can easily determine what went wrong when an error occurs is key. To achieve this, developers can use more verbose error messages that include relevant details such as the method and URI sent to the API, the error message, and a link to more information. Additionally, using ANSI escape sequences to print out errors in different colors can make them more visible. However, it's essential to consider how users will receive the exception object and protect against displaying silly error messages if they are not printed to a terminal. By implementing these strategies, developers can make API errors more transparent and helpful for both new and experienced users.
