I would extract that logic to a new subclass, in that class check if feeds is a bogus value, if it is, throw a new exception. Then in my controller i would check if a FacebookApiException was thrown, if I catch one, the in would redirect with a flash message to inform the user that something went wrong.

This is just a prototype but I would do something like this:

sorry but I don't get your point ... Can you give me a simple example, please ?

Just more information

I'm building up a rest api

Oh, if thats a know exception and you are not catching it, chances are you are not using the namespace correctly. You may need something like.

// The namespace route to the exception.
use FacebookApi\FacebookApiException;

at the top of your file.

well catch (I've forgot it silly me) but it doesn't still work :(

What exactly are you seeing at the whoops screen when the exception is throw, can you paste the full code on a help.laravel.io for us? :D
