## Errors

Every refusal has the same envelope and a page of its own. These are the ones this operation can give.

| [`unauthorized`](https://usebluebot.com/docs/errors/unauthorized)             | 401    | The request carried no key, or a key BlueBot doesn’t know: mistyped, revoked, or a test key sent to the live API.                                |
| [`insufficient_scope`](https://usebluebot.com/docs/errors/insufficient_scope) | 403    | The key doesn’t carry the scope the endpoint needs. Each endpoint’s reference names its scope.                                                   |
| [`rate_limited`](https://usebluebot.com/docs/errors/rate_limited)             | 429    | Too many requests. A key may make 120 requests a minute. The `RateLimit` header says how many are left, and `Retry-After` how long to wait.      |
| [`internal`](https://usebluebot.com/docs/errors/internal)                     | 500    | Something went wrong on BlueBot’s side. It was reported. Send the request again; with an Idempotency-Key that is always safe.                    |
| [`invalid_request`](https://usebluebot.com/docs/errors/invalid_request)       | 400    | Something in the request doesn’t fit: a missing or malformed field, a bad id, or a combination the endpoint refuses. `details` names each field. |
| [`not_found`](https://usebluebot.com/docs/errors/not_found)                   | 404    | There is no such thing on this account. Ids are prefixed by kind, so a message id starts with `msg_`.                                            |
