Errors
Lipila 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, a charge failed, etc.). Codes in the 5xx range indicate an error with Lipila's servers (these are rare).
Error Codes
| Code | Description |
|---|---|
| 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. |
| 404 | Not Found - The requested resource doesn't exist. |
| 429 | Too Many Requests - Too many requests hit the API too quickly. We recommend an exponential backoff of your requests. |
| 500 | Server Error - Something went wrong on Lipila's end. |
For example, if you make a request with an invalid API key, you'll receive a 401 Unauthorized response with the following body:
{
"statusCode": 401,
"message": "Unauthorized"
}
If you make a request with an invalid parameter, you'll receive a 400 Bad Request response with the following body:
{
"statusCode": 400,
"message": "Bad Request"
}
