API Errors

Whatever the HTTP error code is, the response payload will contain the following object: statusCode: number - HTTP error code. error: object - Linkup error details containing:
  • code: string - Error name
  • message: string - Description of the error
  • details: array - Details of the error. This array may be empty or include objects with the following properties:
    • field: string - The field that caused the error
    • message: string - A description of the field error
Here is an example: 
{
	"statusCode": 400,
	"error": {
		"code": "VALIDATION_ERROR",
		"message": "Validation failed",
		"details": [
			{
				"field": "outputType",
				"message": "outputType must be one of the following values: sourcedAnswer, searchResults, structured"
			}
		]
	}
}
