Errors

RentalCover 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 charge failed etc.), and codes in the 5xx range indicate an error with RentalCover.com’s servers (you should contact us if you receive these errors).

• Validation or bad request errors will return a HTTP 400 response with a description of the error.

• General errors will return a HTTP 400 response with a description of the error. See below for the general errors of each endpoint.
