API Errors Reference

IDlayr uses HTTP response status codes to indicate the success or failure of your API request. Additionally, error responses use the RFC 7807 - Problem Details for HTTP APIs standard.

HTTP Response Status Codes Overview

• 2xx your request succeeded.
• 3xx additional action should be taken by the client. The most common use of this code is for redirects.
• 4xx an error occurred due to information in the API request. For example, invalid credential or a missing required parameter.
• 5xx an internal error occurred within the IDlayr platform.

Problem Details for HTTP APIs

4xx error response use Problem Details for HTTP APIs. These take the form:

HTTP/1.1 {status_code} {reason}
Content-Type: application/problem+json

{
"type": {type_url},
"title": {title},
"detail": {detail}
}

The header of the API response contains:

• status_code - the HTTP response status code value.
• reason - a standard HTTP textual reason for the status code.
• Content-Type - the content type header has a value of application/problem+json to indicate the body contents "Problem Details for HTTP APIs" format.

The body of the API response contains:

• type_url - the type property contains value that is a URL for more information on the error that has occurred.
• title - a short descriptive title for the error.
• detail - additional details about the error.
