Errors

The Found Hero API uses standard HTTP error and status codes to communicate errors. There are multiple HTTP status codes for different types of errors:

• 200 Ok — The request was performed successfully.

• 400 Bad Request — The request was unacceptable, often due to missing a required parameter.

• 401 Unauthorized — No valid access token provided. The access token was either missing or expired.

• 403 Forbidden — The access token doesn't have permission to perform the request.

• 404 Not Found — The requested resource doesn't exist.

• 422 Unprocessable Entity — The request was malformed.

• 500 Internal Server Error — An unexpected error ocurred on our server. In most cases, such an error represents a bug on our side. We automatically log such errors and fix them quickly. If anything like this persists, feel free to directly contact us.

In case of an error, status is set to false in the returned JSON object. The message property contains an explanation specific to that error. This is the property that is most useful to a human. Here is an example JSON response for 401 Unauthorized:

{
    "status": false,
    "message": "Authentication failed. Wrong password."
}
