# Get diffusion errors for a business

`POST /diffusion_errors/{business_id}`

Get diffusion errors for a given business.

This endpoint returns diffusion errors grouped by publisher. Diffusion errors are classified into two types:

- **Pre-check errors**: errors detected *before* sending data to partners, based on the current business data.
- **Post-check errors**: errors detected *after* sending data to partners, based on partner responses.

### Behavior
- If no input parameters are provided:
  - Returns the **existing** pre-check and post-check errors stored in the database.
- If input parameters are provided:
  - Applies the provided fields as an in-memory update on the business (without persisting).
  - Recalculates pre-check errors based on these changes.
  - Post-check errors are **not** recalculated in this case.

### Example Use Case
Use this endpoint during a business edit form to validate which publishers would be affected by a change, without saving it yet.
