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.

  When

  Your role cannot update vendors. This 403 has a short body, {"message": "Insufficient Permission"}, with no success or error.

  Fix

  Ask a team owner to raise Manage Vendors for your role.

• 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

  Not a live contact of this vendor. error.code is null and error.message names the record type.

  Fix

  Restore it first.
