Errors

Every error has the same shape. Branch on the status code.

API key endpoints return errors in one shape, whatever went wrong:

{
  "statusCode": 400,
  "error": "API Error",
  "message": "querystring/limit Number must be less than or equal to 100"
}

message is written for people. Branch on statusCode, not on the message text.

StatusWhenExample message
400A parameter or the body is invalid: a bad limit or cursor, an unknown column ID, an operator the column does not accept, or a filter over the limits.Invalid fieldId(s). Use GET /tables/<tableId>/schema to find valid field IDs for this table.
401The API key is missing or wrong.Unauthorized
402Your subscription is paused.Resume your subscription to use the public API.
404The table does not exist or belongs to another organization.Table not found
429Too many requests. See Rate limits.Too Many Requests
500Something failed on our side. Safe to retry.Internal server error

Webhook errors

Webhooks use the same three fields, but error names the problem, like "Bad Request" or "Not Found":

{
  "statusCode": 400,
  "error": "Bad Request",
  "message": "Too many items. Maximum 500 per request."
}

Do not retry a webhook request automatically after a 500 without checking the table: the rows may have been added.
