Errors
Every error arrives as {"error": {"code", "message"}}. Branch on code; the message may change. All errors.
| HTTP | Code | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| 401 | unauthorized | Missing, unknown or revoked key. |
| 402 | insufficient_balance | Your balance won't cover the estimated hold. Top up to continue. |
| 400 | invalid_input | A field failed validation, or a file_key doesn't start with api/. |
| 400 | capability_unavailable | This capability is switched off right now. |
| 429 | rate_limited | You're sending too fast. Back off and retry. |
| 429 | at_capacity | The platform is briefly full. Retry shortly. |
| 502 / 500 | internal_error | Failed on our side. Nothing is charged; retry, and tell us if it keeps happening. |
These arrive inside error on a job that finished as failed, not as an HTTP status. A failed job is refunded in full.
| Code on the job | What it means |
|---|---|
face_not_detected | No face was found in the input. |
unsupported_format | The file couldn't be decoded once work started. |
input_too_large | Over a size or duration limit found during processing. |
content_rejected | The input or the result failed a content check. |
processing_failed | The render didn't complete. |
