Errors

Errors use one shape: { error, type, code, param?, details? }. The ones you are most likely to see here:

400	invalid_request_error	A parameter or body field is missing or invalid. `param` names it.
401	authentication_error	The API key is missing, revoked or expired.
403	permission_error	The key is read-only, scoped to other profiles, or has this resource group disabled.
404	not_found	Nothing with that id exists in your workspace.
429	rate_limit_error	Too many requests this minute. Wait for `Retry-After` seconds.

Every code is listed in Errors.
