# Errors
The API uses standard HTTP status codes to indicate the success or failure
- of the API call.
+ of the API call, completed by a [RFC7807-compliant](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7807) response body.
```
HTTP 1.1 404 Not Found
- Content-Type: application/json
+ Content-Type: application/problem+json; charset=utf-8
{
- "errorCode": 1
- "error": "Account not found"
+ "detail": "Video not found",
+ "docs": "https://docs.joinpeertube.org/api-rest-reference.html#operation/getVideo",
+ "status": 404,
+ "title": "Not Found",
+ "type": "about:blank"
}
```
- We provide error codes for [a growing number of cases](https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/blob/develop/shared/models/server/server-error-code.enum.ts),
- but it is still optional.
+ We provide error `type` values for [a growing number of cases](https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/blob/develop/shared/models/server/server-error-code.enum.ts),
+ but it is still optional. Types are used to disambiguate errors that bear the same status code
+ and are non-obvious:
+
+ ```
+ HTTP 1.1 403 Forbidden
+ Content-Type: application/problem+json; charset=utf-8
+
+ {
+ "detail": "Cannot get this video regarding follow constraints",
+ "docs": "https://docs.joinpeertube.org/api-rest-reference.html#operation/getVideo",
+ "status": 403,
+ "title": "Forbidden",
+ "type": "https://docs.joinpeertube.org/api-rest-reference.html#section/Errors/does_not_respect_follow_constraints"
+ }
+ ```
+
+ Here a 403 error could otherwise mean that the video is private or blocklisted.
### Validation errors
Each parameter is evaluated on its own against a set of rules before the route validator
- proceeds with potential testing involving parameter combinations. Errors coming from Validation
- errors appear earlier and benefit from a more detailed error type:

HTTP 1.1 400 Bad Request

Where `id` is the name of the field concerned by the error, within the route definition.
- `errors.<field>.location` can be either 'params', 'body', 'header', 'query' or 'cookies', and
- `errors.<field>.value` reports the value that didn't pass validation whose `errors.<field>.msg`
+ `invalid-params.<field>.location` can be either 'params', 'body', 'header', 'query' or 'cookies', and
+ `invalid-params.<field>.value` reports the value that didn't pass validation whose `invalid-params.<field>.msg`
is about.
+ ### Deprecated error fields
+
+ Some fields could be included with previous versions. They are still included but their use is deprecated:
+ - `error`: superseded by `detail`
+ - `code`: superseded by `type` (which is now an URI)
