Errors

The response body may be in JSON or plaintext depending on the status code.

Typically, if you receive a status code in the:

• 2xx range, it means the request succeeded.
• 4xx range, there was a problem with your request.
• 5xx range, an error occurred on the Bitski servers (very rare).

Example

4xx and 5xx messages follow a standard error message response:

{
  "error": {
    "code": 401,
    "status": "Unauthorized",
    "request": "fcb5e92e-1b2e-4e13-9998-48021efd0627",
    "message": "The request could not be authorized"
  }
}
