Error Handling

Catenda uses conventional HTTP response codes to indicate the success or failure of an API request. In general, codes in the 2xx range indicate success, codes in the 4xx range indicate an error that failed given the information provided (e.g., a required parameter was omitted), and codes in the 5xx range indicate a system error that cannot be resolved by the user.

Error responses are JSON objects comprised of a code and a message. The code is the numerical error code of the error and the message contains a human-readable message describing the error.
