| HTTP | Code | Meaning and next step |
|---|---|---|
| 400 | invalid_parameter | A path, query or body field is missing, malformed or outside its accepted range. Correct the field named in |
| 404 | not_found | The requested card, key, alias, code or resource was not found. Check the identifier. Temporary codes and previews may already have expired or been used. |
| 410 | erased | The card existed and was erased or removed. The response also carries its public erasure receipt. Stop using this card as current authority. Retain only the public receipt if needed. |
When using an optional API key

|---|---|---|
| 401 | invalid_api_key | The bearer credential is malformed, unknown, expired or revoked. Use an active key. To use anonymous public access, remove |

| 403 | developer_suspended | The owner’s API account is suspended or the owner card is unavailable. Check the owner account and any staff restriction. Creating another key does not bypass suspension. |
