Response Codes
Treet uses conventional 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 an
error that failed given the information provided (e.g., a required parameter was omitted).
Codes in the 5xx range indicate an error with Treet’s servers (these are rare).
Some 4xx errors that could be handled programmatically include an error code that
briefly explains the error reported.
Error Codes
| HTTP Status | Error | Summary |
|---|---|---|
| 400 | Bad Request | The request was unacceptable, often due to missing a required parameter. |
| 403 | Forbidden | The API key doesn’t have permissions to perform the request. |
| 500 | Internal Server Error | Something went wrong on Treet’s end. (These are rare.) |
Error Object
The error is represented in a string message.
