Errors

PeopleOS 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. Codes in the 5xx range indicate an error with the servers, but that should not happen often.

HTTP Status Code Summary
200
OK Everything worked as expected.
400
Bad Request The request was unacceptable, often due to missing a required parameter.
401
Unauthorized No valid API key provided.
402
Request Failed The parameters were valid but the request failed.
403
Forbidden The API key doesn't have permissions to perform the request.
404
Not Found The requested resource doesn't exist.
409
Conflict The request conflicts with another request (perhaps due to using the same idempotent key).
429
Too Many Requests Too many requests hit the API too quickly. We recommend an exponential backoff of your requests.
500, 502, 503, 504
Server Errors Something went wrong on PeopleOS's end.
