Apollo API Debug Bundle Generator

v20260423
apollo-debug-bundle
This tool collects comprehensive diagnostic evidence for troubleshooting issues with the Apollo.io API. It generates a structured JSON bundle containing environment details (Node.js version, platform), connectivity test results, rate limit status, key type verification, and detailed reports on multiple core API endpoints. Essential for preparing detailed support tickets.

Apollo Debug Bundle

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"
