Common Errors and Fixes

Error 1: Authentication Failure - "Invalid API Key"

# INCORRECT - Using direct provider keys
client = AsyncAnthropic(
    api_key="sk-ant-..."  # Direct Anthropic key - will fail through HolySheep
)

CORRECT - Using HolySheep relay with your HolySheep API key
client = AsyncAnthropic(
    base_url="https://api.holysheep.ai/v1",  # HolySheep relay endpoint
    api_key="YOUR_HOLYSHEEP_API_KEY"  # Your HolySheep API key
)

Alternative: OpenAI-compatible client
import openai

client = openai.AsyncOpenAI(
    base_url="https://api.holysheep.ai/v1",  # HolySheep relay endpoint
    api_key="YOUR_HOLYSHEEP_API_KEY"  # Your HolySheep API key
)

Verify authentication by checking your credits
import httpx

async def verify_credentials():
    async with httpx.AsyncClient() as client:
        response = await client.get(
            "https://api.holysheep.ai/v1/user/credits",
            headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer YOUR_HOLYSHEEP_API_KEY"}
        )
        if response.status_code == 200:
            data = response.json()
            print(f"Credits remaining: {data.get('credits', 'N/A')}")
        else:
            print(f"Auth failed: {response.status_code} - {response.text}")

Error 2: Cost Calculation Mismatch

# INCORRECT - Manual pricing lookup can drift from actual costs
def compute_cost_incorrect(model: str, tokens: int) -> float:
    # Hardcoded pricing that may become outdated
    PRICING_PER_1M = {"gpt-4.1": 8.0, "claude-sonnet-4.5": 15.0}
    return tokens / 1_000_000 * PRICING_PER_1M.get(model, 0)

CORRECT - Use HolySheep response headers for actual cost
async def log_with_actual_cost(client, model: str, messages: list):
    response = await client.messages.create(
        model=model,
        max_tokens=1024,
        messages=messages
    )
    
    # HolySheep includes usage in response headers and body
    usage = response.usage
    input_tokens = usage.input_tokens
    output_tokens = usage.output_tokens
    
    # For accurate billing, trust HolySheep's usage reports
    # rather than manual calculation
    return {
        "input_tokens": input_tokens,
        "output_tokens": output_tokens,
        "total_tokens": usage.total_tokens,
        # response.headers may contain 'x-cost-usd' with precise billing
    }

Alternative: Fetch current pricing from HolySheep API
async def get_current_pricing():
    async with httpx.AsyncClient() as client:
        response = await client.get(
            "https://api.holysheep.ai/v1/models",
            headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer YOUR_HOLYSHEEP_API_KEY"}
        )
        if response.status_code == 200:
            models = response.json().get("data", [])
            return {
                m["id"]: m.get("pricing", {}) 
                for m in models
            }
    return {}

Error 3: Rate Limiting and Timeout Issues

# INCORRECT - No timeout configuration leads to hanging requests
client = AsyncAnthropic(
    base_url="https://api.holysheep.ai/v1",
    api_key="YOUR_HOLYSHEEP_API_KEY"
)
Default timeout: None (can hang indefinitely)

CORRECT - Configure explicit timeouts with retry logic

    base_url="https://api.holysheep.ai/v1",
    api_key="YOUR_HOLYSHEEP_API_KEY",

            status="error",
            error_message=str(e)

Error 4: Database Locking Under High Volume

# INCORRECT - Blocking writes cause bottlenecks under load
def log_entry_sync(entry: dict):
    conn = sqlite3.connect("ai_changelog.db")
    conn.execute("INSERT INTO changelog_entries ...", entry)
    conn.commit()
