Errors

Ravelin uses conventional HTTP response codes to indicate 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 resulted from the provided request and codes in the 5xx range indicate an error with Ravelin’s system.

A typical error response is shown below:

{
  "status": 403,
  "message": "Invalid Request: API Key Incorrect. Please check your credentials and try again"
}
HTTP Code Meaning
200 OK -- Everything worked as expected.
400 Bad Request -- Often missing a required parameter, e.g. customerId.
401 Unauthorized -- Your API key is wrong.
403 Forbidden -- The resource requested is hidden for administrators only.
404 Not Found -- The specified resource could not be found.
405 Method Not Allowed -- Often you are not POSTing a request.
406 Not Acceptable -- You requested a format that isn't JSON.
429 Too Many Requests -- We're rate limiting your usage of the API.
500 Internal Server Error -- We had a problem with our server. Please try again later.
503 Service Unavailable -- We're temporarily offline for maintenance. Please try again later.
