### 400 (invalid_request)

`invalid_request` — the request is malformed.

```json
{
  "error": {
    "code": "invalid_request",
    "message": "Please provide a valid domain name."
  }
}
```

### 401 (unauthenticated)

`unauthenticated` — sign in / send a valid credential. `next_action.kind = sign_in`.

```json
{
  "error": {
    "code": "unauthenticated",
    "message": "Sign in or provide an API key to continue.",
    "next_action": {
      "kind": "sign_in",
      "title": "Sign in or create an account",
      "url": "/login"
    }
  }
}
```

### 402 (payment_required)

`payment_required` — this step needs a paid plan. `next_action.kind = checkout`.

```json
{
  "error": {
    "code": "payment_required",
    "message": "This step requires an active paid plan for this domain.",
    "next_action": {
      "kind": "checkout",
      "title": "Continue to checkout"
    }
  }
}
```

### 404 (not_found)

`not_found` — doesn't exist or isn't accessible to you (never 403).

```json
{
  "error": {
    "code": "not_found",
    "message": "We couldn't find that resource."
  }
}
```

### 429 (rate_limited)

`rate_limited` — retry after `Retry-After` seconds (`details.retry_after_seconds`). `limit_reached` — a quota is used up; `details.limit` names it and `next_action` offers support.

```json
{
  "error": {
    "code": "rate_limited",
    "message": "Too many requests. Please wait a moment and try again."
  }
}
```
