} catch (ISendException $e) {
    // Basic error information
    $message = $e->getMessage();
    $statusCode = $e->getStatusCode();
    
    // Detailed error data
    $responseData = $e->getResponseData();  // Full API response
    $requestData = $e->getRequestData();    // The request that caused the error
    
    // Error type helpers
    if ($e->isAuthenticationError()) {
        // Handle 401 errors (invalid API token)
    }
    
    if ($e->isValidationError()) {
        // Handle 422 errors (invalid parameters)
