Understanding API Response Error Messages

Updated over 2 months ago

When working with APIs, it's normal to receive response messages that indicate whether a request was successful or if something went wrong. These messages are part of how systems communicate clearly and efficiently. In some cases, the API may experience a server-side issue and return a response error.

Common response errors

  • Timeout (504)

  • Internal server error (500)

Important Things to Include in Your Requests

To avoid these errors, considering the following:

  • Request size is within the defined API limitations

  • Request content is of the right format

  • The correct syntax is being used for the URI and request body (check for the trailing slash!)

  • Retry logic and client-side timeout is configured appropriately
