Structure

When an API endpoint returns an error it always contain a descriptive message about the error. It may also contain a code and a subcode to be able to assist the application to show a more user friendly response.

Code

The error code is an integer and classifies the error into one of these categories:

Not found	1
Access denied	2
Offline	3
Invalid argument	4
Length	5
Out of range	6
Unsupported	7
Unknown	8

Subcode

The subcode is a detailed id defining what kind of resource or argument failed. This can be used to make the error message more unique to the user.

Example responses

{
    "error": "Client \"123\" was not found!",
    "code": 1,
    "subcode": "79d23c61-951b-4c25-ba77-3e189550499d"
}
