Errors
| Code | HTTP status | When | What to do |
|---|---|---|---|
validation_failed | 400 | A filter or pagination value is invalid. | Fix the fields listed in details.issues and send the request again. |
scope_required | 400 | The request names no brand (an org or entity key without Ownrecord-Brand). | Call the operation with credentials or a target at its level: an organization, a legal entity, a brand or the platform (details.required_scope). |
permission_denied | 403 | You can't read this brand's refunds (refunds:read; every role but billing admin has it). | Ask an organization owner or admin for a role or scope that allows this action. |
livemode_not_allowed | 403 | You have no live-mode access, so you can't use live refunds or credit notes. | Use test mode, or credentials for the target's mode. Developers need live access granted by an organization owner or admin. |
It can also return these common errors: api_version_unsupported, authentication_required, api_key_invalid, resource_not_found, dry_run_not_supported, rate_limited, internal_error.
