HTTP Code Meaning and next step

400

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 `error.message` before sending again.
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.

invalid_parameter

A path, query or body field is missing, malformed or outside its accepted range.

Correct the field named in error.message before sending again.

404

not_found

The requested card, key, alias, code or resource was not found.

410

erased

Stop using this card as current authority. Retain only the public receipt if needed.

When using an optional API key

HTTP	Code	Meaning and next step
401	`invalid_api_key`	The bearer credential is malformed, unknown, expired or revoked. Use an active key. To use anonymous public access, remove `Authorization` entirely. Invalid credentials never fall back automatically.
403	`api_key_scope`	The API key lacks read or verify scope, or the endpoint does not accept bearer keys. Use the correct scope. Identity writes and key management still require a device signature.
403	`api_key_suspended`	This API key is suspended. Ask staff to restore it; another key cannot lift an account suspension.
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.
