Errors

Errors this endpoint can return
code	HTTP	Billing	Description
`scope_denied`	403	Not charged	This API key lacks the scope the endpoint requires.
`endpoint_unavailable`	503	Not charged	The endpoint is not available right now (no data source connected yet, or no price configured); nothing ran.
`invalid_params`	400	Not charged	The parameters failed validation: a required one is missing, a type or format is wrong, an array has more items than allowed, an unknown one was sent, or the POST body is not a JSON object. An error in one parameter starts with its name (`item_id: …`); a missing or unknown parameter starts with `params: …`.
`rate_limited`Retryable	429	Not charged	Over the account's per-minute limit (sliding 60-second window); wait for `Retry-After`.
`too_many_unbilled`Retryable	429	Not charged	In the last 10 minutes at least 50 of your calls to data sources, and over 80% of them, came back empty, not found or rejected; slow down.
`insufficient_balance`	402	Not charged	The balance cannot pay for this call; top up first.
`upstream_busy`Retryable	503	Refunded	The data source is busy or cooling down; refunded. Retry after `Retry-After`.
`upstream_timeout`	504	Refunded	The data source timed out; refunded.
`upstream_error`	502 / 503	Refunded	The data source failed; refunded.
`upstream_rejected`	400	Refunded	The data source rejected these parameters (well-formed, but not accepted); refunded.
`not_found`	404	Refunded	The data source has no such item (deleted, or the ID does not exist); refunded.
`reservation_expired`	504	Refunded	The call took too long and was refunded automatically; no data is returned.

Any request can also fail authentication: 401 invalid_api_key, 403 account_disabled, 429 too_many_auth_failures.
