# Errors

> Troubleshoot problems with this comprehensive breakdown of all error codes.

Dock API returns machine readable error codes, human readable error messages and a link to the docs for more information.

Here is how an error response looks like:

```json theme={null}
{
  "error": {
    "code": "NOT_FOUND",
    "message": "The requested resource was not found."
  }
}
```

## Error Codes

Here is a list of all error codes Dock API returns:

### `BAD_REQUEST`

* **Status:** 400
* **Problem:** The request is malformed, either missing required fields, using wrong datatypes, or being syntactically incorrect.
* **Solution:** Check the request and make sure it is properly formatted.

### `UNAUTHORIZED`

* **Status:** 401
* **Problem:** The client is unauthenticated, meaning it has not provided valid credentials to access the resource.
* **Solution:** Provide valid authentication credentials.

### `FORBIDDEN`

* **Status:** 403
* **Problem:** The client is authenticated but does not have permission to access the requested resource.
* **Solution:** Verify that the client has the necessary access rights to the resource.

### `NOT_FOUND`

* **Status:** 404
* **Problem:** The requested resource could not be found on the server.
* **Solution:** Ensure the requested URL or resource identifier is correct.

### `RATE_LIMIT_EXCEEDED`

* **Status:** 429
* **Problem:** The client has sent too many requests in a short period, triggering rate limiting.
* **Solution:** Wait for a while before sending more requests, or adjust the request rate.

### `INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR`

* **Status:** 500
* **Problem:** The server encountered an unexpected condition that prevented it from fulfilling the request.
* **Solution:** This is a server-side issue. Try again later or contact support if the problem persists.
