invalid_request

The request is malformed.

On this page

HTTP status: 400 Bad Request. Retrying the same request unchanged fails the same way.

Why it happens

  • The body is empty or isn't a JSON object.
  • A required parameter or header is missing, malformed or sent twice.

What to do

Check the request against the API reference. The detail names the problem.

Example

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