}Errors
Every refusal has the same envelope and a page of its own. These are the ones this operation can give.
| Code | Status | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| 401 | The request carried no key, or a key BlueBot doesn’t know: mistyped, revoked, or a test key sent to the live API. | |
| 403 | The key doesn’t carry the scope the endpoint needs. Each endpoint’s reference names its scope. | |
| 429 | Too 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. | |
| 500 | Something went wrong on BlueBot’s side. It was reported. Send the request again; with an Idempotency-Key that is always safe. | |
| 400 | Something in the request doesn’t fit: a missing or malformed field, a bad id, or a combination the endpoint refuses. details names each field. |
