Error Handling

The Hypetech API uses HTTP status codes to indicate the status of requests: - 2xx: Successful requests. - 4xx: Errors related to the data sent or the current state of entities. - 5xx: Internal service issues.

Additionally, errors follow the RFC 7807 standard, with structured details to facilitate diagnosis and resolution.

Goal: Our objective is to ensure clarity and simplicity in error handling, allowing you to diagnose and resolve issues quickly.
