## Common Errors

### API Errors

```python theme={null}
try:
    belief = epistemic_me.Belief.create(
        user_id="user123",
        content="Regular exercise improves mental clarity"
    )
except epistemic_me.APIError as e:
    print(f"API Error: {e}")
except epistemic_me.AuthenticationError as e:
    print(f"Authentication failed: {e}")
except epistemic_me.ValidationError as e:
    print(f"Validation failed: {e}")
```

### TypeScript Error Handling

```typescript theme={null}
try {
  const dialectic = await client.createDialectic({
    userId: "user123",
    dialecticType: DialecticType.DEFAULT
  });
} catch (error) {
  if (error instanceof APIError) {
    console.error('API Error:', error.message);
  } else if (error instanceof AuthenticationError) {
    console.error('Authentication failed:', error.message);
  }
}
```
