Error Handling

Error Code	Description	Handling Recommendation
`400 Bad Request`	The query is malformed or contains invalid fields.	Check query syntax and field names.
`500 Internal Server Error`	Unexpected server error occurred.	Retry after some time; contact support if persists.
`200 OK` with `errors` field	GraphQL-level errors such as invalid queries or unavailable fields.	Inspect `errors` array in response and adjust query accordingly.

Performance Considerations

The policies query returns static content that rarely changes, so it is safe to cache responses on the client or CDN to reduce load and improve response times.
Since no arguments are accepted, caching is straightforward and can be done globally.
Rate limiting may apply on the API server; avoid excessive polling by caching results and refreshing only when necessary.
The response size depends on the length of policy bodies; request only the fields needed to optimize payload size.

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.

Type	Description
StorePolicies	Container for all store policy documents.
Policy	Represents an individual policy document with title, body, and URL.

Notes

All policy fields (termsAndConditions, privacyPolicy, shippingPolicy, refundPolicy) are optional and may be null if not set by the store.
Use field selection to request only the policies relevant to your application to optimize performance.
URLs provided in policy fields link to the store’s public-facing policy pages for user reference.
