# Error

The standard error envelope that the API returns when a request fails.

## Declaration

```data
object Error
```

## Properties

code: The reason the API rejected the request (such as INVALID_ARGUMENT or UNAUTHORIZED). message: A human-readable error summary of what went wrong at the request level. details: An array of zero or more error details objects that describe specific field-level or request-level violations. See ErrorDetail.

## Discussion

Discussion The Error object is the standard error envelope that the API returns when a request fails. Change History endpoints use a separate, ChangeHistory-specific error object, ErrorMessage, whose code is a closed enum (BAD_REQUEST, NOT_FOUND, NOT_AUTHED) rather than the open string used here. Check details when you need to pinpoint exactly which part of the request was invalid, for example, a specific field value that violated a constraint or a missing required parameter. Example {   "code": "INVALID_ARGUMENT",   "message": "The request could not be processed because one or more fields failed validation.",   "details": [     {       "code": "FIELD_REQUIRED",       "message": "campaign.name is required and was not provided for AwayFinder campaign creation."     }   ] }
