Error Codes

Every error is represented with an HTTP status code, as well as a code and response message within the actual response body.

There are two exceptions to these rules:

  • Invalid formats will return an HTTP 415 with an error message as the response body.
  • JSONP without a callback will return a javascript commented response.
