Overview API Error Codes
In some cases you will notice status being a non-zero value which means that something has gone wrong while handling
the request. Sometimes the errors are caused by malformed request or authentication, and sometimes it's due to the
validation of the input data.
In this section you can find the error response structure as well as the information about the basic error codes.
{danger.fa-exclamation} IMPORTANT: The basic API error responses will not have the
Gt-Authenticationheader, whether it's response to your API request or if it's your response to invalid or unrecognized input.
