Errors

The error object looks as below. Any non 200 response should be treated as an error. For example if you do not pass the version header, the api will respond with a 400 response code (bad request). The type and code variables should help you identify what is wrong with your requests.

{
  "message": "version is missing in header",
  "code": "request_failed",
  "type": "invalid_request_error"
}

The following is an exhaustive list of error types.

Error TypeDescription
authentication_errorAuthentication error is thrown if your x-client-id or x-client-secret are incorrect.
invalid_request_errorInvalid request error is thrown when your request body or request headers are not in order.
rate_limit_errorRate limit error is thrown with response cod 429. We throw this error when you breach our API limits. You can use the response headers to know more about the limits and other details. (see below for more details).
api_errorSomething went wrong with the API. Please retry after sometime.

Rate limiting

We use rate limiting for all endpoints. Read more on rate limits here.

Idempotency

Idempotency works by saving the resulting status code and body of the first request made for any given idempotency key, regardless of whether it succeeded or failed. Subsequent requests with the same key return the same result, including 500 errors.
Currently supported on all POST calls that uses x-client-id & x-client-secret. To use enable, pass x-idempotency-key in the request header. The value of this header must be unique to each operation you are trying to do. One example can be to use the same order_id that you pass while creating orders

Header nameExampleDDescription
x-idempotency-replayedtrue or falseIf the request was successful earlier you would get true
x-idempotency-keystring, uuid etcA key for idempotency
