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

# Package
tar -czf "$BUNDLE_DIR.tar.gz" "$BUNDLE_DIR"

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 };
  }
}
