Errors — SupportWire API

Errors return a consistent JSON body:

{
  "error": "insufficient_scope",
  "error_description": "The token is missing a required scope."
}

Status codes

Status	Meaning
`200`	Success
`201`	Created
`204`	Success, no body (e.g. delete)
`400`	Malformed request — bad parameter or value
`401`	Missing, invalid, expired, or revoked token
`403`	Authenticated but not allowed (`insufficient_scope`, `forbidden`)
`404`	Resource not found
`422`	Unprocessable — validation failed or `actor_self_required`
`429`	Rate limited — back off and retry

Code	When
`invalid_token`	Token is invalid, expired, or revoked
`insufficient_scope`	Token lacks a scope the endpoint requires
`actor_self_required`	Operation needs an `actor=self` token (see Authentication)
`forbidden`	Acting user isn't permitted (e.g. editing another user's message)
`invalid_request`	A required parameter is missing or invalid

Note — On 429, back off exponentially before retrying.
