What it means

The request could not be processed, and the reason does not fit a more specific code.

Do not retry

The identical request will fail the same way every time. Change it first.

What causes it

  • A query parameter had a value the endpoint does not accept.
  • A combination of otherwise-valid parameters is contradictory.
  • The endpoint received a shape it recognises but cannot act on in the current state.

How to fix it

  • Read `detail` — on this code it is written for a human and names the actual problem.
  • Compare the request against the endpoint in the API reference, parameter by parameter.

What the response looks like

400 application/problem+json
{
  "error": {
    "code": "bad_request",
    "message": "The request could not be processed, and the reason does not fit a more specific code",
    "request_id": "7cb7f7862a82425d8e4c3fb8a497dfe6"
  },
  "type": "https://integrable.cloud/docs/errors/bad_request",
  "title": "Bad Request",
  "status": 400,
  "detail": "The request could not be processed, and the reason does not fit a more specific code",
  "instance": "/api/bots/01a0652b-3713-7ea1-a6c9-2e895389ec34"
}

Branch on error.code, not on the message — the code is stable, the sentence is not. Log request_id either way.

Still stuck

Quote the request_id from the response — hello@integrable.cloud. It is what lets us find the exact request. The full list of codes is at Error codes, and the conventions every endpoint shares are in Retries, versioning and limits.
