Errors and Rate Limiting
Learn about the different error codes and how to handle them
The StreamSkill API uses conventional HTTP response codes to indicate the success or failure of an API request. In general, codes in the 2xx range indicate success, codes in the 4xx range indicate an error that failed given the information provided (e.g., a required parameter was omitted), and codes in the 5xx range indicate an error with StreamSkill’s servers.
In case of an error, the API will return an error response with a JSON object containing the following fields (But some errors provide additional fields):
name- A human-readable name of the error.message- A human-readable message describing the error.code- Almost always is 0.status- Status code of the error.type- Type of error that was returned. (e.g.bad_request_http_exception)
Error codes
| Code | Description |
|---|---|
400 | Bad Request - The request was invalid or cannot be served. (e.g., invalid JSON) |
401 | Unauthorized - Unable to authenticate. |
402 | Insufficient Funds - You don’t have enough funds to do the request. |
404 | Not Found - The specified resource could not be found. |
405 | Method Not Allowed - Action is unavailable for this order. |
409 | Purchase Done - Order already completed. |
422 | Validation Error - The request was well-formed but was unable to be followed due to validation errors. |
429 | Too Many Requests - Rate limit exceeded. |
500 | Action failed - Action not performed. |
Rate-limits
Rate-limiting errors (429) happen when you are sending too many requests to the API.
All API endpoints are rate-limited, and currently, the rate limit is set to 30 req/m (requests per minute).
Additionally, the API returns the following headers in the response:
X-Rate-Limit-Limit- The maximum number of requests that the consumer is permitted to make in a minute.X-Rate-Limit-Remaining- The number of requests remaining in the current rate limit window.X-Rate-Limit-Reset- The time after which the rate limit window resets in seconds.
