When using an optional API key
HTTPCodeMeaning and next step
401invalid_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.

403api_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.

403api_key_suspended

This API key is suspended.

Ask staff to restore it; another key cannot lift an account suspension.

403developer_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.

Shared request errors
HTTPCodeMeaning and next step
429rate_limited

An anonymous, signed-request or API-key allowance was exceeded.

Wait at least Retry-After seconds. Share a queue and retry budget across your workers.

500internal_error

An unexpected server error occurred. Internal details are not returned.

Retry reads with bounded backoff. Check write results before sending a new signed operation.

503busy

The application has reached a temporary concurrency or database limit.

Wait Retry-After seconds and retry with bounded backoff.
