Error Handling

Error Code	Description	Handling Recommendation
`BAD_USER_INPUT`	The provided `id` argument is invalid or missing.	Validate the `id` before querying.
`NOT_FOUND`	No manufacturer found with the specified `id`.	Inform the user that the manufacturer does not exist.
`INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR`	Unexpected server error occurred.	Retry after some delay or contact support.

Errors are returned in the errors array in the GraphQL response. Always check for errors before processing data.

Performance Considerations

Use field selection to request only necessary fields to reduce response size and improve performance.
When querying products under manufacturer, use pagination to limit the number of returned products.
Avoid requesting deeply nested fields unless required.
The API enforces rate limiting; excessive requests may result in throttling.
Cache responses where possible, especially for manufacturer data that changes infrequently.

Authentication

This API currently does not require authentication. However, authentication requirements may be introduced in future versions. Monitor API updates for any changes to authentication requirements.

Manufacturer: The main return type for this query.
ProductConnection: Connection type for paginated products related to the manufacturer.
Filter: Filter objects available for the manufacturer.

Notes

The filters field may return null if no filters are set for the manufacturer.
The products field supports pagination; use edges and pageInfo to navigate large product lists.
The id argument is mandatory and must be a valid integer ID of an existing manufacturer.
Always handle possible null or missing fields gracefully in your client application.
