Errors

Billingrails uses standard HTTP response codes to indicate the success or failure of an API request. Codes in the 2xx range indicate success, codes in the 4xx range indicate client errors, and codes in the 5xx range indicate a server error that we will immediately work to fix. All Billingrails errors conform to the following schema:

{
  "error": {
    "type": "request_error",
	"code": "validation_error",
    "message": "Validation error",
    "details": [
      {
        "field": "account",
        "message": "Account is required.",
      }
    ]
  }
}
