+Troubleshooting Guide
+=====================
+
+Overview
+--------
+
+This document lists all SDK-specific errors that can occur when using the Emissions API Node.js SDK. These errors are related to SDK initialization and client management.
+
+----
+
+SDK Initialization Errors
+--------------------------
+
+Configuration Errors
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+These errors occur when ``Client.getClient()`` is called with invalid or missing configuration parameters.
+
+1. Missing Auth URL with Custom Host
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+**Error Message:**
+
+.. code-block:: text
+
+   Error: If custom "host" is provided, "authUrl" must also be provided.
+
+**Cause:** Custom host URL provided without corresponding authentication URL
+
+**Solution:** Provide both ``host`` and ``authUrl`` parameters together
+
+**Sample Function Call That Causes This Error:**
+
+.. code-block:: typescript
+
+   await Client.getClient({
+     host: 'https://api.ibm.com',
+     clientId: 'client123',
+     orgId: 'org456'
+     // Missing authUrl parameter
+   });
+
+----
+
+2. Missing Client ID with Token
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+**Error Message:**
+
+.. code-block:: text
+
+   Error: If token is provided directly, "clientId" must also be provided.
+
+**Cause:** Pre-existing token provided without client ID
+
+**Solution:** Provide ``clientId`` parameter when using a token
+
+**Sample Function Call That Causes This Error:**
+
+.. code-block:: typescript
+
+   await Client.getClient({
+     token: 'your-jwt-token'
+     // Missing clientId parameter
+   });
+
+----
+
+3. Missing Parameters with API Key
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+**Error Message:**
+
+.. code-block:: text
+
+   Error: If apiKey is provided , "clientId" and "OrgId" must also be provided.
+
+**Cause:** API key authentication requires both client ID and organization ID
+
+**Solution:** Provide ``apiKey``, ``clientId``, and ``orgId`` parameters together
+
+**Sample Function Call That Causes This Error:**
+
+.. code-block:: typescript
+
+   // Missing orgId
+   await Client.getClient({
+     apiKey: 'your-api-key',
+     clientId: 'client123'
+     // Missing orgId parameter
+   });
+
+   // Or missing clientId
+   await Client.getClient({
+     apiKey: 'your-api-key',
+     orgId: 'org456'
+     // Missing clientId parameter
+   });
+
+----
+
+Authentication Errors (HTTP 401)
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+These errors occur when authentication credentials are invalid or expired.
+
+4. Invalid API Key
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+**Error Response:**
+
+.. code-block:: json
+
+   {
+     "httpCode": "401",
+     "httpMessage": "Unauthorized",
+     "moreInformation": "Cannot pass the security checks that are required by the target API or operation, Enable debug headers for more details."
+   }
+
+**Cause:** API key is invalid, expired, or revoked
+
+**Solution:** Verify API key from IBM Cloud console and ensure it has proper permissions
+
+**Sample Function Call That Causes This Error:**
+
+.. code-block:: typescript
+
+   await Client.getClient({
+     apiKey: 'invalid_api_key_12345',
+     clientId: 'client123',
+     orgId: 'org456',
+     host: 'https://api.ibm.com',
+     authUrl: 'https://api.ibm.com/auth-url'
+   });
+
+----
+
+5. Invalid Organization ID
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+**Error Response:**
+
+.. code-block:: json
+
+   {
+     "httpCode": "401",
+     "httpMessage": "Unauthorized",
+     "moreInformation": "Cannot pass the security checks that are required by the target API or operation, Enable debug headers for more details."
+   }
+
+**Cause:** Organization ID doesn't match account or user lacks access
+
+**Solution:** Verify organization ID from IBM Cloud account settings
+
+**Sample Function Call That Causes This Error:**
+
+.. code-block:: typescript
+
+   await Client.getClient({
+     apiKey: 'your-valid-api-key',
+     clientId: 'client123',
+     orgId: 'invalid-org-id-12345',
+     host: 'https://api.ibm.com',
+     authUrl: 'https://api.ibm.com/auth-url'
+   });
+
+----
+
+6. Invalid Client ID
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+**Error Response:**
+
+.. code-block:: json
+
+   {
+     "httpCode": "401",
+     "httpMessage": "Unauthorized",
+     "moreInformation": "Invalid client id or secret."
+   }
+
+**Cause:** Client ID is invalid or doesn't match credentials
+
+**Solution:** Verify client ID from IBM Cloud credentials
+
+**Sample Function Call That Causes This Error:**
+
+.. code-block:: typescript
+
+   await Client.getClient({
+     apiKey: 'your-valid-api-key',
+     clientId: 'invalid-client-id-12345',
+     orgId: 'org456',
+     host: 'https://api.ibm.com',
+     authUrl: 'https://api.ibm.com/auth-url'
+   });
+
+----
+
+7. Empty Token Response
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+**Error Message:**
+
+.. code-block:: text
+
+   Error: Token response is empty
+
+**Cause:** Authentication server returned an empty or null token in the response body
+
+**Solution:**
+
+- Verify the ``authUrl`` is correct and points to a valid authentication endpoint
+- Ensure the authentication service is responding correctly
+- Check that the API key, client ID, and org ID combination is valid
+- Verify the authentication endpoint is returning a token in the response
+- Contact support if the authentication service is not responding properly
+
+**Sample Function Call That Causes This Error:**
+
+.. code-block:: typescript
+
+   await Client.getClient({
+     apiKey: 'your-api-key',
+     clientId: 'client123',
+     orgId: 'org456',
+     host: 'https://api.ibm.com/',
+     authUrl: 'https://valid-url-but-returns-empty-token.example.com/token'
+     // Valid URL but returns empty token in response
+   });
+
+**Note:** If the authUrl is completely invalid or unreachable (e.g., wrong domain), you'll get a network error (ENOTFOUND) instead of this error. This error specifically occurs when the authentication endpoint responds but returns an empty token.
+
+----
+
+8. Missing Expiry Field in Token
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+**Error Message:**
+
+.. code-block:: text
+
+   Error: exp field is missing in the token
+
+**Cause:** The provided JWT token does not contain the required ``exp`` (expiry) field
+
+**Solution:**
+
+- Ensure the token is a valid JWT with an expiry field
+- Regenerate the token if it's malformed
+- Verify the token was generated correctly by the authentication service
+
+**Sample Function Call That Causes This Error:**
+
+.. code-block:: typescript
+
+   await Client.getClient({
+     token: 'malformed-jwt-token-without-exp-field',
+     clientId: 'client123'
+   });
+
+**Note:** This error occurs when using token-based authentication with a JWT that doesn't include the standard ``exp`` (expiration time) claim.
+
+----
+
+Client Instance Errors
+-----------------------
+
+Client Not Initialized
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+**Error Message:**
+
+.. code-block:: text
+
+   Error: Client is not initialized. Call Client.getClient() first.
+
+**Cause:** Attempting to use ``Client.getInstance()`` or API methods before calling ``Client.getClient()``
+
+**Solution:** Always call ``Client.getClient()`` before using any SDK methods
+
+**When This Occurs:**
+
+- Calling ``Client.getInstance()`` before initialization
+- Calling any API method (Stationary.calculate(), Mobile.calculate(), etc.) before initialization
+- Application restart without re-initializing the client
+
+**Sample Function Calls That Cause This Error:**
+
+.. code-block:: typescript
+
+   // Error 1: Calling getInstance() before initialization
+   const client = Client.getInstance(); // Throws error
+
+   // Error 2: Calling API methods before initialization
+   await Stationary.calculate({
+     time: { date: "2025-01-04" },
+     location: { country: "usa" },
+     activity: { type: "Coal - Lignite", unit: "KJ", value: 3 }
+   }); // Throws error
+
+   // Error 3: Calling any other API method
+   await Mobile.calculate({...}); // Throws error
+   await Fugitive.calculate({...}); // Throws error
+   await Location.getUnits("steam"); // Throws error
+
+----
+
+Token Management
+----------------
+
+Automatic Token Refresh
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The SDK automatically refreshes authentication tokens when they are about to expire (within 60 seconds). Token refresh failures will cause subsequent API calls to fail with 401 errors.
+
+**Note:** Token refresh only occurs for tokens generated by the SDK, not for user-provided tokens.
