Errors

Format

When one or more errors occur, they are returned to the client in an object with three fields:

error_type: The type of error, one of: validation, notexist, backend, permission, database, concurrency, billing, payment

error_message: A description of the error that occurred.

error_point: The point at which the error occurred. Always present, but can sometimes be null.

Types

The types of errors:

validation: An error occurred while validating the submitted data. If the error is related to a particular field, it will set the error_point.

notexist: The object you are trying to access does not exist.

backend: There was a problem completing the request on the backend. Please contact the support department.

permission: You do not have permission to complete the operation. May set the error_point.

database: There was a database error.

concurrency: There was a concurrency error caused by two simultaneous conflicting operations (i.e. trying to start and delete a server at the same time). The operation should be retried.

billing: There was a billing problem.

payment: There was a problem processing your payment.
