MineOS API uses conventional HTTP response codes to indicate the success or failure of an API request. In general: Codes in the 2xx range indicate success. Codes in the 4xx range indicate an error that failed given the information provided (e.g., a required parameter was omitted, a value was invalid, etc.). Codes in the 5xx range indicate an error with Mine's servers (these are rare).

Some 4xx errors include an error description that briefly explains the problem.

429 Too Many RequestsReserved for future use. Too many requests hit the API too quickly. We recommend an exponential backoff of your requests.
