Overview

Collect comprehensive debug information for Apollo.io API issues. Generates a JSON diagnostic bundle with environment info, connectivity tests, rate limit status, key type verification, and sanitized request/response logs.

Prerequisites

APOLLO_API_KEY environment variable set
Node.js 18+ or Python 3.10+

Instructions

Step 1: Create the Debug Bundle Collector

// src/scripts/debug-bundle.ts
import axios from 'axios';
import os from 'os';

const BASE_URL = 'https://api.apollo.io/api/v1';

interface DebugBundle {
  timestamp: string;
  environment: Record<string, string>;
  connectivity: { reachable: boolean; latencyMs: number; statusCode?: number };
  keyType: 'master' | 'standard' | 'invalid' | 'unknown';
  rateLimits: { limit?: string; remaining?: string; window?: string };
  endpointTests: Array<{ endpoint: string; status: number | string; ok: boolean }>;
  systemInfo: Record<string, string>;
}

async function collectDebugBundle(): Promise<DebugBundle> {
  const headers = {
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    'x-api-key': process.env.APOLLO_API_KEY ?? '',
  };

  const bundle: DebugBundle = {
    timestamp: new Date().toISOString(),
    environment: {
      nodeVersion: process.version,
      platform: os.platform(),
      arch: os.arch(),
      apiKeySet: process.env.APOLLO_API_KEY ? 'yes (redacted)' : 'NOT SET',
      apiKeyLength: String(process.env.APOLLO_API_KEY?.length ?? 0),
      apiKeyPrefix: process.env.APOLLO_API_KEY?.slice(0, 4) + '...' ?? 'N/A',
    },
    connectivity: { reachable: false, latencyMs: 0 },
    keyType: 'unknown',
    rateLimits: {},
    endpointTests: [],
    systemInfo: {},
  };

  return bundle;
}

Step 2: Test Connectivity and Key Type

async function testConnectivity(bundle: DebugBundle) {
  const headers = { 'Content-Type': 'application/json', 'x-api-key': process.env.APOLLO_API_KEY! };

  // Test basic auth
  const start = Date.now();
  try {
    const resp = await axios.get(`${BASE_URL}/auth/health`, { headers, timeout: 10_000 });
    bundle.connectivity = { reachable: true, latencyMs: Date.now() - start, statusCode: resp.status };
    bundle.keyType = resp.data.is_logged_in ? 'standard' : 'invalid';  // at minimum standard
  } catch (err: any) {
    bundle.connectivity = { reachable: false, latencyMs: Date.now() - start, statusCode: err.response?.status };
    return;
  }

  // Test master key access
  try {
    await axios.post(`${BASE_URL}/contacts/search`, { per_page: 1 }, { headers, timeout: 10_000 });
    bundle.keyType = 'master';
  } catch (err: any) {
    if (err.response?.status === 403) bundle.keyType = 'standard';
  }
}

Step 3: Test Key Endpoints

async function testEndpoints(bundle: DebugBundle) {
  const headers = { 'Content-Type': 'application/json', 'x-api-key': process.env.APOLLO_API_KEY! };

  const tests = [
    { name: 'Auth Health', method: 'GET', url: `${BASE_URL}/auth/health` },
    { name: 'People Search', method: 'POST', url: `${BASE_URL}/mixed_people/api_search`,
      body: { per_page: 1, q_organization_domains_list: ['apollo.io'] } },
    { name: 'Org Enrichment', method: 'GET', url: `${BASE_URL}/organizations/enrich?domain=apollo.io` },
    { name: 'Contacts Search', method: 'POST', url: `${BASE_URL}/contacts/search`, body: { per_page: 1 } },
    { name: 'Sequences Search', method: 'POST', url: `${BASE_URL}/emailer_campaigns/search`, body: { per_page: 1 } },
    { name: 'Email Accounts', method: 'GET', url: `${BASE_URL}/email_accounts` },
  ];

  for (const test of tests) {
    try {
      const resp = await axios({ method: test.method as any, url: test.url, data: test.body, headers, timeout: 10_000 });
      bundle.endpointTests.push({ endpoint: test.name, status: resp.status, ok: true });

      // Capture rate limit headers from any successful response
      if (resp.headers['x-rate-limit-limit']) {
        bundle.rateLimits = {
          limit: resp.headers['x-rate-limit-limit'],
          remaining: resp.headers['x-rate-limit-remaining'],
          window: resp.headers['x-rate-limit-window'],
        };
      }
    } catch (err: any) {
      bundle.endpointTests.push({
        endpoint: test.name,
        status: err.response?.status ?? err.code ?? err.message,
        ok: false,
      });
    }
  }
}

Step 4: Generate and Output

async function main() {
  console.log('Collecting Apollo debug bundle...\n');
  const bundle = await collectDebugBundle();
  await testConnectivity(bundle);
  await testEndpoints(bundle);

  // System info
  bundle.systemInfo = {
    hostname: os.hostname(),
    platform: `${os.platform()} ${os.release()}`,
    memory: `${Math.round(os.freemem() / 1024 / 1024)}MB free / ${Math.round(os.totalmem() / 1024 / 1024)}MB total`,
  };

  // Write to file
  const fs = await import('fs');
  const filename = `apollo-debug-${Date.now()}.json`;
  fs.writeFileSync(filename, JSON.stringify(bundle, null, 2));

  // Print summary
  console.log('=== Apollo Debug Summary ===');
  console.log(`API Key:     ${bundle.environment.apiKeySet} (${bundle.environment.apiKeyLength} chars)`);
  console.log(`Key Type:    ${bundle.keyType}`);
  console.log(`Reachable:   ${bundle.connectivity.reachable} (${bundle.connectivity.latencyMs}ms)`);
  console.log(`Rate Limit:  ${bundle.rateLimits.remaining ?? '?'}/${bundle.rateLimits.limit ?? '?'} remaining`);
  console.log(`Endpoints:`);
  for (const t of bundle.endpointTests) {
    console.log(`  ${t.ok ? 'OK' : 'FAIL'}  ${t.endpoint}: ${t.status}`);
  }
  console.log(`\nBundle saved: ${filename}`);
}

main().catch(console.error);

Output

JSON debug bundle with environment, connectivity, key type, rate limits, and endpoint results
Key type detection (master vs standard vs invalid)
Endpoint-by-endpoint health check (auth, search, enrichment, contacts, sequences)
Rate limit header capture
Ready-to-attach file for Apollo support tickets

Error Handling

Issue	Debug Step
Connection timeout	Check network/firewall, verify DNS for `api.apollo.io`
Key type = invalid	Key was revoked — regenerate in Apollo dashboard
Key type = standard	Master key needed — check which endpoints fail with 403
All endpoints fail	Check status.apollo.io for outages

Examples

Quick CLI Diagnostic

# One-liner: test auth + connectivity
curl -s -w "\nHTTP %{http_code} in %{time_total}s\n" \
  -H "x-api-key: $APOLLO_API_KEY" \
  "https://api.apollo.io/api/v1/auth/health"

# Test rate limit headers
curl -s -D - -o /dev/null \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "x-api-key: $APOLLO_API_KEY" \
  -X POST -d '{"per_page":1,"q_organization_domains_list":["apollo.io"]}' \
  "https://api.apollo.io/api/v1/mixed_people/api_search" 2>/dev/null | grep -i "x-rate"
