Fields

Field
Type
Description
category
The category type for this error or warning. It takes an ErrorCategory object which can have one of three values:
  • Application: Indicates an exception or error occurred in the application code or at runtime. Examples include catching an exception in a service's business logic, system failures, or request errors from a dependency.
  • Business: Used when your service or a dependent service refused to continue processing on the resource because of a business rule violation such as "Seller does not ship item to Antarctica" or "Buyer ineligible to purchase an alcoholic item". Business errors are not syntactical input errors.
  • Request: Used when there is anything wrong with the request, such as authentication, syntactical errors, rate limiting or missing headers, bad HTTP header values, and so on.
domain
Name of the domain containing the service or application.
errorId
A positive integer that uniquely identifies the specific error condition that occurred. Your application can use error codes as identifiers in your customized error-handling algorithms.
inputRefIds
array of string
Identifies specific request elements associated with the error, if any. inputRefId's response is format specific. For JSON, use JSONPath notation.
longMessage
An expanded version of message that should be around 100-200 characters long, but is not required to be such.
message
An end user and app developer friendly device agnostic message. It explains what the error or warning is, and how to fix it (in a general sense). Its value is at most 50 characters long. If applicable, the value is localized in the end user's requested locale.
outputRefIds
array of string
Identifies specific response elements associated with the error, if any. Path format is the same as inputRefId.
parameters
This optional complex field type contains a list of one or more context-specific ErrorParameter objects, with each item in the list entry being a parameter (or input field name) that caused an error condition. Each ErrorParameter object consists of two fields, a name and a value.
subdomain
Name of the domain's subsystem or subdivision. For example, checkout is a subdomain in the buying domain.
