Errors
Storyblok uses conventional HTTP response codes to indicate the success or failure of an API request.
In general, codes in the 2xx range indicate success. Codes in the 4xx range indicate an error that failed given the information provided (e.g., a required parameter was omitted, a charge failed, a content entry was not published, but the version requested was set to published, etc.). Codes in the 5xx range indicate an error with Storyblok's servers (these are rare).
Some 4xx errors that could be handled programmatically (e.g., a story was not found) include an error code that briefly explains the error reported.
HTTP Status Code Summary
| Code | Description |
|---|---|
| 200 - OK | Everything worked as expected. |
| 400 - Bad Request | The wrong format was sent (e.g., XML instead of JSON). |
| 401 - Unauthorized | No valid API key was provided. |
| 404 - Not Found | The requested resource doesn't exist (e.g., due to not yet published content entries). |
| 422 - Unprocessable Entity | The request was unacceptable, often due to missing a required parameter. |
| 429 - Too Many Requests | Too many requests hit the API too quickly. We recommend an exponential backoff of your requests. |
| 500, 502, 503, 504 - Server Errors | Something went wrong on Storyblok's end (these errors are rare). |
