Error Overview
Flexiti uses conventional HTTP response codes to indicate the success or failure of an API request. In general:
Codes in the
2xx
range indicate success.Codes in the
4xx
range indicate an error that failed given the information provided (e.g., a required parameter was omitted, a transaction failed, etc.).Codes in the
5xx
range indicates an error with Flexiti's servers.
Some 4xx
errors that could be handled programmatically include an error code that briefly explains the error reported.
