All methods throw DropReplyError on failure:

const { DropReplyError } = require('dropreply');

try {
  await client.reply({ platform: 'reddit', target_url: '...', content: '...' });
} catch (err) {
  if (err instanceof DropReplyError) {
    console.error(err.statusCode);  // HTTP status code (e.g. 400, 402, 422)
    console.error(err.errorCode);   // API error code (e.g. 'validation_error', 'insufficient_credits')
    console.error(err.message);     // Human-readable error message
  }
}
