Errors

Status	Code	Meaning
400	n/a	The request was malformed, a value was invalid, or it contained an unknown field (`invalid_request`, `unknown_field`).
401	n/a	The API key is missing, malformed, expired or revoked (`unauthorized`).
403	n/a	The key is read-only (`insufficient_scope`), or its user's role cannot do this (`forbidden`).
409	n/a	The `Idempotency-Key` was already used with a different request, or that request is still running (`idempotency_conflict`).
429	n/a	Too many requests (`rate_limited`). Wait for `Retry-After` seconds.
500	n/a	Something went wrong on our side (`internal_error`). Retry, and quote the request ID if it persists.

Every error uses the same body. See Errors for the full list of codes.
