**Response**

We use conventional HTTP response codes to indicate the success or failure of an API request. In general:

**2xx** indicate success\
**4xx** indicate an error that failed given the information provided (e.g., a required parameter was omitted)\
**5xx** errors indicate an error with ours servers (these are rare).

{% tab title="401" %}

```json

   "message":"Unauthorized"
}
```
