+### Errors & Rate Limits
+
+When the API returns an error, a specific exception is raised (`Frontapp::BadRequestError`, `Frontapp::UnauthorizedError`, `Frontapp::NotFoundError`, `Frontapp::ConflictError`, `Frontapp::TooManyRequestsError`). The response object is accessible on the error for inspecting headers and status:
+
+```ruby
+begin
+  client.get_contact("ctc_55c8c149")
+rescue Frontapp::TooManyRequestsError => e
+  retry_after = e.response.headers["Retry-After"]
+  sleep(retry_after.to_i)
+  retry
+end
+```
