Errors

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

Status	Meaning	Retry?
`401`Unauthorized	Missing or invalid API key. `{"detail":"missing or invalid API key"}`	No, fix the request
`402`Payment Required	Not enough credits for this request: the account's credits mode is `enforce` (`mode` in `GET /v1/billing`) and the request costs more than the available credits. Nothing is run or charged. `{"detail":"insufficient credits: this request costs 5, 0 available. Credits renew 2026-11-01."}`	No, fix the request
`422`Unprocessable 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
`429`Too Many Requests	Too many requests: the key's requests-per-minute limit was exceeded, or (in `enforce` credits mode) 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
`502`Bad 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
`503`Service 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
