List of API Errors

This is the list of errors our API may produce. We strongly advise developers to log and analyze all API errors and take appropriate and timely action, like fixing bugs in your app and distributing updates to your users. We actively protect our API from "nonsense" requests, which, for example, produce the same error if the same request is repeated over and over again. This includes IP and subnet bans as well as account suspensions in some severe cases.

Identifier	Code	Description
0		Code 0 is for "no errors".
1	ERROR_KEY_DOES_NOT_EXIST	Account authorization key not found in the system. Make sure you copied it correctly without spaces or tabulation signs.
2	ERROR_NO_SLOT_AVAILABLE	No idle captcha workers are available at the moment; customers should increase their maximum bid in the API settings in the client area or choose less busy hours to create tasks.
