HTTP error codes

Introduction

The TraceParts APIs returns appropriate HTTP status codes for every request. If this request encounters an error, a response with the HTTP status codes and the corresponding error message will be displayed.

Description

The table lists the errors returned when working with TraceParts APIs. Some errors are resolved if you simply retry the same request. The table indicates which errors are likely to be resolved with successive retries. If the “Retry” column contains a “Y”, please submit the same request again. If the “Retry” column contains an “N”, please fix the problem in your call before submitting a new request.

Response Status Codes

HTTP Status Code	Description	Retry
400	A parameter is missing in the call	N
403	The request has been refused or access is not allowed. Check you API key	N
404	The provided item does not exist	N
408	The request timed out	Y
500	Internal server error	N
503	The API rate-limit has been reached	Y
