Errors

Errors return an HTTP code and a JSON body with status set to "error" and a readable message.

Code Cause What to do
400 The body is not valid JSON. Check the syntax and the Content-Type header.
401 Missing or invalid API key, or test key used outside the message endpoints. Check the x-api-key header.
402 Not enough credit for this message (code: insufficient_credit). Nothing is sent. Top up your credits, see Credits and billing.
403 Real sending not allowed: trial period (only to your verified numbers, 20 SMS), or restricted organization. Get your business verified, or use the test key.
409 This request_id is already used for this recipient: an identical send is still in progress, or the text differs. Wait a moment and retry, or use one request_id per message.
422 A field is invalid. Per-field details are in data. Fix the field shown.
429 Too many requests for this key (code: rate_limited), see Limits. Wait the number of seconds given by Retry-After.
500 Error on our side. Retry with the same request_id.
