# Errors

Requests made to our APIs can result in several different error responses. The following document describes error values.

## Properties

The `Error` has the following properties:

| Property  | Type     | Description                                                      |

| `code`    | `string` | Error code constant represented as a string                      |
| `message` | `string` | Error message depending on the type of error and an API resource |
