Error Responses

All web service API's can response with JSON objects, however some legacy API's return XML/HTML error responses by default.

Api's will return JSON errors if a request contains the "Accept" header with a valid json content type, "application/json" or "text/json"

We strongly recommend the use of the "Accept: application/json" on all web service requests to ensure that all error responses are returned in a consistent format.

JSON Error Response

The JSON response object always contains the two parameters, error and request. These objects are further detailed below.
