> Understanding Enterprise API error responses

# Error Handling

The API returns request responses in JSON format. When an API request returns an error, it is sent in the JSON response as an error key.

## Common Error Codes

| Status Code | Description                                       |
| ----------- | ------------------------------------------------- |
| 401         | Authentication error - Invalid or missing API key |
| 429         | Rate limit exceeded                               |
| 503         | Service temporarily unavailable                   |

## HTTPS Only

The API only responds to HTTPS-secured communications. Any requests sent via HTTP return an HTTP 301 redirect to the corresponding HTTPS resources.
