# Errors

> HTTP status codes and error responses returned by the NitroTranslate API.

The NitroTranslate API uses conventional HTTP status codes to indicate the
success or failure of a request.

## HTTP status codes

| Code  | Meaning                                                                     |
| ----- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `400` | Bad Request — Something went wrong; see the response body for details.      |
| `401` | Unauthorized — Invalid API key.                                             |
| `403` | Forbidden — The requested resource is hidden for administrators only.       |
| `404` | Not Found — The specified resource could not be found.                      |
| `405` | Method Not Allowed — You tried to access a resource with an invalid method. |

| `503` | Service Unavailable — Temporarily offline for maintenance.                  |

## Error responses

A `400` response returns an error object with a `code`, a human-readable
`description`, and optional `parameters`:

```json theme={null}
{
  "code": "INSUFFICIENT_FUNDS",
  "description": "Account lacks funds to place an order",
  "parameters": {}
}
```

| `INSUFFICIENT_FUNDS` | The account lacks the funds to place the order.            |
