Errors

All errors follow a consistent format with HTTP status codes and machine-readable error codes.

Error Response Format

When an error occurs, the API returns a JSON response with an error object:

json

{
  "error": {
    "status": 404,
    "message": "Tournament not found",
    "code": "NOT_FOUND"
  }
}

Every one of these sits inside the error object.

statusinteger: The HTTP status code, repeated here so you do not have to dig it out of the response headers.
messagestring: Human-readable description of the error.
codestring: Machine-readable error code for programmatic handling.

Status	Code	Description
`400`	`BAD_REQUEST`	The request was malformed or contained invalid parameters.
`401`	`UNAUTHORIZED`	Missing, invalid, or inactive API key in the Authorization header.
`404`	`NOT_FOUND`	The requested resource was not found.
`429`	`RATE_LIMITED`	Rate limit exceeded. Check the Retry-After header for when to retry.
`500`	`INTERNAL_ERROR`	An unexpected server error occurred. Try again later.
