# Error handling

The API returns standard HTTP status codes to indicate success or failure:

* `200 OK` – Request succeeded
* `201 Created` – Resource successfully created
* `400 Bad Request` – Invalid input or parameters
* `401 Unauthorized` – Missing or invalid API key
* `403 Forbidden` – You don't have permission to perform this action
* `404 Not Found` – Resource does not exist
* `429 Too Many Requests` – Rate limit exceeded
* `500 Internal Server Error` – Something went wrong on our end

Error responses include a JSON payload with a `message` field explaining what went wrong. Make sure your integration handles these errors gracefully and logs or displays useful feedback to users where appropriate.
