Media typeapplication/json

Shorthand for the overwhelmingly common ServiceResponse&lt;TData, ErrorResponse&gt;. C# cannot alias an open generic, so this is expressed as a subclass rather than a using alias.

object
success

True when the call succeeded and TData? ServiceResponse<TData, TError>.Data is populated.

boolean
data
One of:
null
error
One of:
null

Example

{
"data": {
"kind": "BankTransfer",
"instruction": {
"kind": "BankTransfer"

}

Not signed in, or the credential isn’t recognised, has expired or was revoked: auth.missing_credential, auth.invalid_credential, auth.expired_credential, auth.revoked_credential.

object
success

True when the call succeeded and TData? ServiceResponse<TData, TError>.Data is populated.

boolean
data

Payload on success; default on failure.

error

The Framework’s default error shape, used as the TError of ServiceResponse<TData, TError> unless an App genuinely needs its own.

object
code

Stable, machine-readable error identifier (for example account.not_found). Clients branch on this, never on string ErrorResponse.Message.

string
message

Human-readable description of what went wrong. Safe to surface to a User.

string
fieldErrors

Optional per-field validation failures, keyed by field name. Null (and omitted from JSON) for errors that are not validation failures.

null | object
details

Optional machine-readable facts about the failure that a client renders rather than parses out of string ErrorResponse.Message — e.g. plan.limit_reached’s limit, count and planName. Null (and omitted from JSON) for errors that carry none.

Not allowed. error.code says why: auth.role_not_permitted (your role doesn’t allow it), auth.read_only_token (the token can only read), app.no_seat (no seat in this App), auth.api_access_not_in_plan (the plan doesn’t include API access), auth.not_a_member (no longer a member of the Account), auth.insufficient_scope (an Account API key without the scope).

The Account is over its plan’s limits, so changes are refused until an Owner or Admin sorts that out: plan.read_only.
