Errors

401 Unauthorized

The credential is missing, invalid, expired or revoked (unauthorized), or was sent in a way v3 doesn’t accept (see the examples).

Example payload: unauthorized (Missing, malformed, expired or revoked credential)

{
  "error": {
    "code": "unauthorized",
    "message": "Access denied"
  },
  "meta": {

  }
}

Example payload: unsupported_auth_scheme (Sent as HTTP basic, which v3 does not accept)

{
  "error": {
    "code": "unsupported_auth_scheme",
    "message": "Send the credential as `Authorization: Bearer <token>`; v3 does not accept HTTP basic"
  },
  "meta": {
    "request_id": "abc123"
  }
}

Example payload: credential_in_query (Sent as the `auth_token` query parameter)

{
  "error": {
    "code": "credential_in_query",
    "message": "Credentials must be sent in the Authorization header"

403 Forbidden

The credential isn’t allowed to do this. error.code says why. An account or project the credential doesn’t cover is 404 not_found, not 403.

Example payload: access_denied (The credential isn't allowed to do this to this record)

{
  "error": {
    "code": "access_denied",
    "message": "Access denied"
  },
  "meta": {
    "request_id": "abc123"
  }
}

Example payload: insufficient_scope (The credential lacks the permission this endpoint requires)

{
  "error": {
    "code": "insufficient_scope",
    "message": "Insufficient scope",
    "details": {
      "required_scope": "faults:write",
      "token_scopes": [
        "faults:read",
        "insights:read"
      ]
    }
  },
  "meta": {
    "request_id": "abc123"
  }
}

Example payload: requires_user_token (The endpoint records who acted, and an account token has nobody)

{
  "error": {
    "code": "requires_user_token",
    "message": "This endpoint records the person who acted, so it requires a user credential rather than an account token"
  },
  "meta": {
    "request_id": "abc123"
  }
}

Example payload: project_restricted (A project-restricted credential cannot create a project)

{
  "error": {
    "code": "project_restricted",
    "message": "Project-restricted tokens cannot create projects"
  },
  "meta": {
    "request_id": "abc123"
  }
}

422 Unprocessable Content

No path names the account, so the API token has to. This is returned when the token covers more than one account and the account a request applies to cannot be determined. Use a token bound to a single account.

Example payload

{
  "error": {
    "code": "ambiguous_account",
    "message": "This credential covers more than one account, so the account a request applies to is ambiguous. Use a token bound to a single account."
  },
  "meta": {
    "request_id": "abc123"
  }
