Response & Error Information

  • PDF

Article summary

All API requests will be served with one of the following status codes.

Where appropriate we will return the keys "data" and "error" with more information about the result of your request. If populated the "data" key will contain the confirmation of the altered/inserted data and "error" will contain an array of issues with your request.

Note: an empty "error" key does not indicate an error, if we return a json response it will always be populated with the "data" and "error" keys.

Example Error Response

{
    "data" : {},
    "error" : [
        "Insufficient Job Credits"
    ]
}
