First API help

[tmonroe]

We have had some experience with analytical apps and now one of our clients wants to set up an API.  We have the API hand shake working with the client and working through the process. Is there a best practice on how to return an error to API or the user if an error occurs, and how is the best way to log that error on our side?  If they were to call us about an error, we would like to be able to look at a log of some type to work through any issues.  Any help or direction for this would be appreciated.

Just to clarify, when you say that a client wants to "set up an API", do you specifically mean that the client would like to use an Analytical App hosted on their Gallery instance via the RESTful API the Gallery provides?  

Thanks,

Yes they are building an API that will connect with their gallery.
