Error handling

API requests that result in errors will return an appropriate HTTP status code to help you identify the type of error. You can use the table below to understand what each code means. og search online with the HTTP status code. The HTTP error keys used are based on the standard, and therefore available online (Tips to search “HTTP code XXX”)

In addition to HTTP status there may be more details in the errorKey field. Error Keys can be added at a later stage, clients should handle this as well as an empty value for errorKey.
