## Error codes

The API uses standard HTTP error codes:

## Error format

The format of an error looks like this.

```json theme={null}
{
  "error": {
    "code": "<error_code>",
    "message": "<error_message>",
    "is_ziik_error": boolean
  }
}
```

Where `error_code` can be a unique string identifiyng the cause of the error, followed by an optional message. The `is_ziik_error` boolean indicates if this was a custom error thrown by the API.
