Content Management API > Errors

If an API endpoint fails for any reason, it will return an HTTP status code outside of the 2xx range.

The body of the response will contain detailed information regarding the issue, in the form of an array of api_error entities. Every API error entity offers:

• a code attribute, with the specific error code;

• a details attribute, with additional information about the specific cause.

This is an example response for a request that tries to create a new model, but the provided api_key is already used by another model:

  "data": [

      "id": "ce9dcb",

        "code": "INVALID_FIELD",
