Errors

  • 401The API key is missing or wrong (unauthenticated).

  • 403You are not allowed to do this. api_access_not_in_plan: your team's plan doesn't include API access (Pro and above, with an active subscription or trial), so every request answers this until the team upgrades. When your role lacks the permission the operation needs, the body is only {"message": "Insufficient Permission"}. Other refusals use the error envelope, with unauthorized or user_is_not_authorized.

  • 404Not found. page_not_found: the team slug is unknown, you are not a member of the team, or an id in the path is not one of this team's. code: null, with a message that starts "No query results for": there is no record with that id.

    When
    The user is not a team member, or the shipment is not on this order.
    Fix
    Check both ids.
  • 422The request was refused and changed nothing. validation_failed lists what to fix in error.fields; other codes name a business rule, explained in error.message. A few checks answer with only {"message": "..."}. An operation that calls another service (a payment provider, a carrier, an accounting app) can answer connect_timeout ("Please retry again") when that service does not answer in time: the change may or may not have happened there, so read the record back before you retry.

    When
    action or user_id is missing, action is not assign or unassign, or user_id is not a valid id (validation_failed).
    Fix
    Send both fields.
