amount_too_precise

The amount has more decimal places than the asset supports.

On this page

HTTP status: 422 Unprocessable Entity. Retrying the same request unchanged fails the same way.

Why it happens

  • USDC on most networks has 6 decimal places, so "1.0000001" is too precise.
  • Nowgate never rounds amounts, in either direction.

What to do

Round the amount to the asset's decimals yourself. GET /v1/assets lists the decimals of every asset.

Example

The response is application/problem+json. Branch on code, never on title or detail. See errors for the format.
