Handling errors

Errors

Upodi use conventional HTTP response codes to indicate success or failure of an API request.

Not all errors map cleanly onto HTTP response codes, however. When a request is valid but does not complete successfully (e.g. a card is declined), we return a 402 error code.

Attributes

code
##### always
HTTP status code as indicated in the table to the left.
body
##### optional
A human-readable message in JSON format, providing more details about the error.

A summary of the HTTP status codes and what they represent is listed here.
