Errors

Overview

If something goes wrong I try to provide a response that helps you detect what went wrong so you can try to do better. Best what can happen is a 500 error code because this indicates it’s my fault and not yours.

Other than that all 4xx error codes indicate an error within the client and I think it’s you that coded that one.

The API will try to give you a hint with a small JSON encoded error message that could look like this:

 {
   "error": "Argument 'id' is expected to be an integer in a specific range."
 }

HTTP error codes returned
