Errors and Exceptions

Sometimes the Socotra API will not be able to complete the requested operation and throw an exception. In this case an ExceptionResponse will be returned instead of the requested object. Also, some normal response objects include error information as indicated below.

API Error Codes

The following codes will be returned when the corresponding errors occur. They will be found in the apiErrorCode property of the error response.

The code returned will be a number. Refer to this page for the meaning of the code.

Warning

Avoid basing integration code on any text in an error message. Instead, use the numerical code as listed here for your integration logic. The numerical codes here will not be changed but text may change in the future.

Note

Not all API errors are guaranteed to include an apiErrorCode, and will instead return 0. If you require a code for a particular scenario, Contact your account representative.
