API Errors

A reference of errors that you may encounter while using the Live Editor API.

Error format

As with the majority of the Live Editor API, errors returned by the system follow the JSON API spec.

Data validation errors

When an error occurs, the server will respond with an appropriate HTTP statusin the 4XX or 5XX range. The response body will typically contain an error object.

Here is a typical error object for a data validation error:

      {
        "errors": [
          {
            "title": "Title can't be blank",
            "id": "title",
            "code": "100",
            "source": {
              "pointer": "/data/attributes/title"
            },
            "status": "422"
          }
        ]
      }

Error codes

Most errors returned will have an associated code. Following is a listing of those error codes and their meanings.
