Errors

Every refusal has the same envelope and a page of its own. These are the ones this operation can give.

CodeStatusWhat it means
unauthorized401The request carried no key, or a key BlueBot doesn’t know: mistyped, revoked, or a test key sent to the live API.
insufficient_scope403The key doesn’t carry the scope the endpoint needs. Each endpoint’s reference names its scope.
rate_limited429Too many requests. A key may make 120 requests a minute. The RateLimit header says how many are left, and Retry-After how long to wait.
internal500Something went wrong on BlueBot’s side. It was reported. Send the request again; with an Idempotency-Key that is always safe.
invalid_request400Something in the request doesn’t fit: a missing or malformed field, a bad id, or a combination the endpoint refuses. details names each field.
not_found404There is no such thing on this account. Ids are prefixed by kind, so a message id starts with msg_.
