The following is a list of possible errors returned from the Express API.

If an error response is returned, an action will not be credited to your account.

An error response will come in the following JSON format:

{
  "code": 20,
  "message": "Error message"
}

The message property may be changed at any time, so it is recommended you use the code property to parse errors.

Errors

CodeDescription
20Invalid input. 'file' was either empty or invalid
21The URL provided did not return a PDF, or was inaccessible

Network errors

Errors may occur before the server receives your request. The most probably cause for this is that your request body is too large. If you receive errors from the API and your request body is over 5.5mb, try uploading your file to a remote location and passing the url to the API instead.
