Errors

When something goes wrong, the API responds with the matching HTTP status and a body with code and message inside error.

Use the code in your program. The message is English text to help whoever is debugging, and it may change.

Error format404

{
  "error": {
    "code": "not_found",
    "message": "Item not found or you do not have access to it."
  }
}

No key401

{
  "error": {
    "code": "missing_api_key",
    "message": "Send your API key in the X-API-Key header or as Authorization: Bearer <key>."
  }
}

Error codes

Status	Code	When it happens
400	`key_in_query`	The key was sent in the URL (parameters `api_key`, `apikey`, `key` or `token`). Send it in the header and generate a new key, because the previous one may have been recorded in logs.
400	`invalid_parameter`	A parameter has an invalid value, such as `per_page` above the maximum.
401	`missing_api_key`	The request did not include a key.
401	`invalid_api_key`	The key does not exist, was revoked, or its user is deactivated.
404	`not_found`	The endpoint does not exist, or the item does not exist or belongs to an organization the user cannot see.
404	`organization_not_found`	The `organization` given is not an organization where the user can see this type of item.
405	`method_not_allowed`	The API only accepts `GET` (and `HEAD`).
429	`rate_limited`	The rate limit was reached. Wait the number of seconds in `Retry-After`.
500	`server_error`	Internal error. Try again in a moment; if it keeps happening, contact support.

Only repeat the same request after a 429 (waiting for Retry-After) or a 500. Other errors require a fix in the request or the key.
