# Errors

> HTTP status codes, error format, and handling guidance for the Platform API.

# Errors

The Platform API uses standard HTTP status codes and a consistent JSON error body.

## Error format

```json theme={null}
{
  "error": {
    "code": "validation_error",
    "message": "name is required",
    "field": "name"
  },
  "meta": {
    "requestId": "req_abc123"
  }
}
```

## HTTP status codes
