In case of errors during API requests, appropriate HTTP status codes will be returned to indicate the nature of the issue. These status codes help in understanding and resolving errors efficiently. Additionally, error messages may be provided in the response body to offer further insight into the encountered problem. Refer to the specific HTTP status codes and accompanying error messages to troubleshoot and resolve any encountered errors:
Status codeDescription
200OKEverything worked as expected.
400Bad RequestThe request was unacceptable, often due to missing a required parameter.
401UnauthorizedNo valid API key provided in the x-api-key header.
402Request FailedThe parameters were valid but the request failed.
403ForbiddenThe API key doesn’t have permissions to perform the request.
404Not FoundThe requested resource doesn’t exist.
409ConflictThe request conflicts with another request (perhaps due to using the same idempotent key).
429Too Many RequestsToo many requests hit the API too quickly. We recommend an exponential backoff of your requests.
500, 502, 503, 504Server ErrorsSomething went wrong on The Swarm end. (These are rare.)
