Error Codes

Mavapay API uses conventional HTTP response codes to indicate the success or failure of an API request. In general, codes in the 2xx range indicate success, codes in the 4xx range indicate an error that failed given the information provided (e.g., a required parameter was omitted), and codes in the 5xx range indicate an error with Mavapay’s servers.

​

Common Error Codes

Here are some common error codes you might encounter when using the Mavapay API:

• 400 Bad Request: The request was invalid.
• 401 Unauthorized: The request was not authorized.
• 403 Forbidden: The request was forbidden.
• 404 Not Found: The resource was not found.
• 405 Method Not Allowed: The request method is not allowed.
• 429 Too Many Requests: You have exceeded the rate limit.
• 500 Internal Server Error: An error occurred on the server.

Error Response

When an error occurs, the API will return an error response in JSON format. The response will contain an error message and a status code. Here is an example of an error response:

{
  "status": "error",
  "message": "Invalid API key provided."
}
