Error Codes

Error Codes

API.market uses standard HTTP response codes to indicate the success or failure of an API request. In general: Codes in the 2xx range indicate success. Codes in the 4xx range indicate a clientside error, which means that failed given the information provided (e.g., a missing parameter, unauthorized access, etc.). Codes in the 5xx range indicate an error with API.market's servers (normally this shouldn't happen at all).

If the response code is not 200, it means the operation failed somehow and you may need to take an action accordingly. You can check the response (which will be in JSON format) for a field called 'message' that briefly explains the error reported.

Status Code	Explanation
400 - Bad Request	The request was unacceptable, often due to missing a required parameter.
401 - Unauthorized	No valid API key provided.
404 - Not Found	The requested resource doesn't exist.
429 - Too many requests	API request limit exceeded. See section Rate Limiting for more info.
5xx - Server Error	We have failed to process your request. (You can contact us anytime)
