Response Codes
All API requests receive a response with the appropriate HTTP response code. Each response class represents a different general message:
- 2XX codes - successful responses.
- 4XX codes - client error responses. There was an error in your request. Modify the request and try again. The 4XX error codes are listed in the table below.
- 5XX codes - server error responses. There may be a temporary issue on the Lytx side.
Error codes
The following is a table of error codes to help you debug:
| Status Code | Description |
|---|---|
| 400 | Bad request - general client error, possibly malformed data. |
| 401 | Unauthenticated - the API key is missing or invalid. |
| 404 | Not found - the API endpoint is invalid or a path parameter is missing or invalid. |
| 405 | Method not allowed - the API endpoint does not accept that HTTP method. |
| 5XX | Internal server errors - something went wrong with the Lytx API's servers. These responses are likely a temporary error, so try again in a few minutes. |
