Invalid type: ${type}

Error message

Invalid type: ${type}

What it means

Thrown as an `InvalidParameterError` when the `type` path parameter is not in the allowed set `{'latest', 'game-updates', 'news-article'}`. This is pre-flight validation that fires before the EA drop-api call, producing an HTTP 400-level response.

Solutions

1. Use one of the three supported values: `latest`, `game-updates`, or `news-article`.
2. Omit the type parameter entirely to default to `latest` (all categories).
3. Check the route definition's `parameters.type.options` for the authoritative list.

const SUPPORTED_TYPES = new Set(['latest', 'game-updates', 'news-article']);
function validateType(type: string | undefined): string {
    const resolved = type ?? 'latest';
    if (!SUPPORTED_TYPES.has(resolved)) {
        throw new InvalidParameterError(`Invalid type: ${type}. Supported: latest, game-updates, news-article`);
    }
    return resolved;
}

function isSupportedType(type: string): type is 'latest' | 'game-updates' | 'news-article' {
    return type === 'latest' || type === 'game-updates' || type === 'news-article';
}

When it happens

Trigger: A user requests `/ea/apex-news/<lang>/<type>` where `<type>` is not one of the three valid values — for example `news`, `updates`, `patch-notes`, or an empty/misspelled string. The typeEnum Set check fails immediately.

Common situations: User guesses a category slug from the EA website that is not supported by this route. A third-party integration passes a free-text type value. The user confuses the EA website's navigation labels with the route's accepted values.
