What's in it for you

When using the Showpad API, you might run into a situation where an API request doesn't return the response you expected. To help you understand what went wrong and how you can resolve it, the Showpad API has an extensive list of errors and error types.

The error types

Parameter errors

Parameter errors occur when an incorrect query parameter has been entered. For example, an InvalidParameterError is returned when the limit URL parameter is negative.
