Attio Debug Bundle

Overview

Collect all diagnostic evidence needed to debug Attio API issues or file a support ticket. Checks auth, scopes, object schema, rate limit headers, and endpoint connectivity.

Prerequisites

• ATTIO_API_KEY environment variable set
• curl and jq available
• Permissions to read project environment

Instructions

Step 1: Run the Full Diagnostic Script

#!/bin/bash
# attio-debug-bundle.sh -- Collects Attio diagnostic evidence

# Package
tar -czf "$BUNDLE_DIR.tar.gz" "$BUNDLE_DIR"
rm -rf "$BUNDLE_DIR"
echo ""
echo "Bundle created: $BUNDLE_DIR.tar.gz"

Step 2: Review Before Sharing

Always check the bundle for leaked secrets before sharing:

tar -tzf attio-debug-*.tar.gz  # List files
tar -xzf attio-debug-*.tar.gz && cat */summary.txt

Safe to share: HTTP status codes, object slugs, attribute types, rate limit headers, error messages.

Never share: Full API key, record IDs with PII, webhook secrets.

Step 3: Quick Single-Command Diagnostic

For fast triage without a full bundle:

# One-liner: auth + objects + rate limit check
curl -s -w "\n--- HTTP %{http_code} ---\n" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ${ATTIO_API_KEY}" \
  https://api.attio.com/v2/objects | jq '{objects: [.data[].api_slug], count: (.data|length)}'

Programmatic Health Check

interface AttioDiagnostic {
  auth: "ok" | "failed" | "insufficient_scopes";
  objects: string[];
  lists: string[];
  latencyMs: number;
  rateLimitRemaining?: number;
}

async function diagnoseAttio(): Promise<AttioDiagnostic> {
  const start = Date.now();
  try {
    const res = await fetch("https://api.attio.com/v2/objects", {
      headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.ATTIO_API_KEY}` },
    });

    const latencyMs = Date.now() - start;

    if (res.status === 401) return { auth: "failed", objects: [], lists: [], latencyMs };
    if (res.status === 403) return { auth: "insufficient_scopes", objects: [], lists: [], latencyMs };

    const data = await res.json();
    return {
      auth: "ok",
      objects: data.data.map((o: any) => o.api_slug),
      lists: [], // fetch separately if needed
      latencyMs,
      rateLimitRemaining: parseInt(res.headers.get("x-ratelimit-remaining") || "0"),
    };
  } catch {
    return { auth: "failed", objects: [], lists: [], latencyMs: Date.now() - start };
  }
}

Error Handling

Diagnostic result	Meaning	Action
HTTP 200, objects listed	Auth and connectivity OK	Issue is in your code or data
HTTP 401	Token invalid	Regenerate in Attio dashboard
HTTP 403	Missing scopes	Add scopes to token
HTTP 429	Rate limited right now	Wait for Retry-After, see attio-rate-limits
Connection error	Network/firewall issue	Check DNS, proxy, firewall rules
