{
    "type": "/problems/payload-too-large",
    "type_documentation": "https://developers.invers.com/problems/payload-too-large",
    "title": "Incoming HTTP request payload exceeds the size limit.",
    "status": 413,
    "detail": "…",
    "flow_id": "5e77e3e3-48ab-4955-8ab3-1c62339096ab"
}

Meaning⚓︎

This problem type occurs if the payload of your request exceeds the size limit.

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 request is larger than the server is willing or able to process.

The payload of your request exceeds the size limit.

Possible solutions:

  • Reduce the payload size and resend the request
  • Contact INVERS support if there is no way to reduce the payload size

  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.
