Errors
The Fount's API uses standard HTTP response codes to indicate success or failure of an API request.
In general codes in the 200 range indicate success. Codes in the 400 range indicate some sort of error in the
information provided. Codes in the 500 range indicate errors with The Fount's servers and systems.
Along with the response code a human readable error attribute is generally sent explaining what went wrong.
Response Codes
| Code | Description |
|---|---|
| 200 - OK | Everything works as expected. |
| 400 - Bad Request | The request could not be handled, often due to a missing required parameter or badly formatted data. |
| 401 - Unauthorized | No valid API token provided. |
| 403 - Forbidden | The API token used doesn't have permissions to perform the request. |
| 404 - Not Found | The requested resource doesn't exist. |
| 500, 502, 503, 504 - Server Errors | These are rare errors when something's wrong on The Fount's end. |
