Errors

Errors return a JSON body with a detail field. Failed requests are not charged. See Errors for the full list and retry advice.

StatusMeaningRetry?
401Unauthorized

Missing or invalid API key.

{"detail":"missing or invalid API key"}
No, fix the request
402Payment Required

Not enough credits for this request. Only returned once credit enforcement is switched on; during the beta metering runs in shadow mode and never blocks.

{"detail":"insufficient credits: this request costs 5, 0 available. Credits renew 2026-11-01."}
No, fix the request
422Unprocessable Content

Request validation failed. detail is a list of problems for schema errors, or a string for semantic checks performed by the endpoint.

{"detail":[{"loc":["body","name"],"msg":"Field required","type":"missing"}]}
No, fix the request
429Too Many Requests

Too many requests: the key's requests-per-minute limit was exceeded, or (once credit enforcement is on) the plan's concurrent-request limit. No rate-limit or Retry-After headers are sent; back off and retry.

{"detail":"rate limit 60/min exceeded"}
Yes, with backoff
502Bad Gateway

The upstream source failed, blocked the request or returned an unusable answer. Safe to retry later; failed requests are not charged.

{"detail":"RuntimeError"}
Yes, with backoff
503Service Unavailable

Temporarily unavailable: a dependency of this endpoint is down, or the upstream source changed its contract. Retry later.

{"detail":"database unavailable: OperationalError"}
Yes, with backoff
