Error Responses

Error responses from the Measure API have the following fields

error_message The description for the error
error_type The type of error such as auth_error, validation_error etc. Please see a full list of error types below.
error_code The error code for the type of issue that can be referenced for nuanced error handling
error_status The same as the HTTP status code for the response

The error response can have additional fields that have more details about the error. For example, the validation_errors field is populated for errors with type validation_error

{
    "error_message": "Request body does not contain all required information",
    "error_type": "validation_error",
    "error_status": 400,
    "validation_errors": [
        {
            "field": "config_items",
            "message": "config_items is required"
        }
    ]
}
