{
    "type": "/problems/missing-credentials",
    "type_documentation": "https://developers.invers.com/problems/missing-credentials",
    "title": "The credentials are missing.",
    "status": 401,
    "detail": "…",
    "flow_id": "5e77e3e3-48ab-4955-8ab3-1c62339096ab"
}

Meaning⚓︎

This problem type occurs if the Authorization header is missing.

Details⚓︎

  • Use the error response’s type property to handle specific errors and exception handling within your application. It’s comparable to an error code.
  • The detail property contains additional, more human-readable information about the problem or error. This is explanatory text and you should not have any exception handling and error handling code depend on it, as it may change.

Detail examples⚓︎

The following examples are typical texts which you might receive in the error response’s detail property. Note that it is not a complete list of all possible cases. Therefore expect to receive error responses with a detail property value not listed below.

The ‘Authorization’ header containing the access token is missing.

You did not specify the Authorization header correctly.

Possible solutions: - Check the spelling of the header - Check if you performed the request correctly as shown in this example

  1. The flow_id is specific to each API call, so it will be different in your case. However, type, title and status will match your actual error response if you receive the error described on this page. ↩
