Error Handling

In case a request to our API fails, the return value of the endpoints follows standard HTTP status code conventions. 
A detailed reason can be found in the response. Common codes indicating a client error are 400 (Bad Request) & 404 (Not Found). 
To give some further information on the cause of the error, the API also returns a standardized error object in the response body.
