## 🔐 Rate Limits & Best Practices

### BigCommerce Rate Limits
- **Standard Plan**: 20,000 requests/hour
- **Plus/Pro Plans**: Higher limits (contact BigCommerce)
- **Burst Limit**: 150 requests/30 seconds

### Built-in Handling
The client automatically:
- ✅ Tracks rate limit headers (`X-Rate-Limit-Requests-Left`, `X-Rate-Limit-Time-Reset-Ms`)
- ✅ Implements exponential backoff on 429 (Too Many Requests)
- ✅ Retries failed requests up to 3 times
- ✅ Respects `Retry-After` headers

### Optimization Tips
1. Use pagination (`limit=250`) for large datasets
2. Use field filters (`include=variants,images`) to reduce payload size
3. Cache frequently accessed data (store info, categories)
4. Batch operations where possible (bulk price updates)
5. Use webhooks instead of polling for real-time events

## 🛡️ Error Handling

Comprehensive error handling for all failure scenarios:

| HTTP Status | Meaning | Client Behavior |
|------------|---------|-----------------|
| **400** | Bad Request | Returns validation error details |
| **401** | Unauthorized | Check `BIGCOMMERCE_ACCESS_TOKEN` |
| **403** | Forbidden | Token missing required OAuth scope |
| **404** | Not Found | Resource doesn't exist |
| **409** | Conflict | Duplicate SKU or unique constraint violation |
| **422** | Unprocessable Entity | Validation failed (returns field errors) |
| **429** | Too Many Requests | Auto-retry with exponential backoff |
| **500** | Server Error | Retry up to 3 times |
| **503** | Service Unavailable | BigCommerce maintenance mode |

All errors include:
- Human-readable error message
- HTTP status code
- Request ID (for BigCommerce support)
- Field-level validation errors (when applicable)

### Type Safety
All tools use TypeScript interfaces matching BigCommerce API schemas:
- `Product`, `ProductVariant`, `ProductImage`
- `Order`, `OrderProduct`, `Shipment`
- `Customer`, `CustomerAddress`, `CustomerGroup`
- `Cart`, `Checkout`, `LineItem`
- And 40+ more types

## 🚀 Development

```bash
# Install dependencies
npm install

# Build TypeScript
npm run build

# Build React apps
npm run build:ui

# Run in development mode
npm run dev

```

### Adding New Tools

1. Create tool file in `src/tools/` (e.g., `my-tools.ts`)
2. Export `registerMyTools(client)` function
3. Import and register in `src/server.ts`
4. Add TypeScript types in `src/types/`
5. Rebuild: `npm run build`

### Common Issues

**❌ "Missing required environment variables"**
→ Set `BIGCOMMERCE_STORE_HASH` and `BIGCOMMERCE_ACCESS_TOKEN` environment variables.

**❌ "401 Unauthorized"**
→ Check your access token is valid and not expired. Regenerate in BigCommerce admin if needed.

**❌ "403 Forbidden"**
→ Your API token is missing required OAuth scopes. Edit the API account and grant additional permissions.

**❌ "429 Too Many Requests"**
→ You've hit BigCommerce rate limits. The client will auto-retry with backoff. Consider upgrading your plan for higher limits.

**❌ "SSL certificate verification failed"**
→ Your store hash or domain is incorrect. Verify the store hash matches your store URL.
