Errors

The page provides the description of expected errors of Claid API and guidance how to handle them.
The Claid API provides standard HTTP status codes. Every successful responses are indicated with a 200-series and error responses with non-200-series HTTP code.
Error reasons can vary, but the structure of the response always looks the following:
Error response structure
{
    "error_code": "9000",
    "error_type": "validation",
    "error_message": "name: ensure this value has at most 50 characters. parameters.credentials.access_key: field required.",
    "error_details": {
        "name": [
            "ensure this value has at most 50 characters"
        ],
        "parameters.credentials.access_key": [
            "field required"
        ],
}
Error response  attributes:
error_code string
 Claid internal error identifier.
error_type string
 Claid errors are grouped by topics and this field returns the name of that group.
error_message string
A human-readable description of the error. 
If there were several reasons for failure - they will be concatenated as separate sentences, divided with . (dot).
error_details object
If there is a request validation error with key:value pairs - this field represents a nicely formatted version of error_message. Otherwise it can be an empty object - {}.
Error response example with an empty error_details
{
    "error_code": "111",
    "error_type": "auth",
    "error_message": "Authorization is required.",
    "error_details": {}
}
How to get error reason
If you want to get a human-readable error message, then it is best to always get data from the error_message attribute.
If you prefer to represent the error yourself according to the key:value pairs of errored fields,  use error_details. Note: It can be an empty object if there was no validation error associated with the field. In this case, you can get the message from the error_message attribute.
