Errors

Status Code When
401 INVALID_TOKEN No token (MISSING_TOKEN), or one that is wrong, expired, revoked, or whose owner can no longer sign in (INVALID_TOKEN).
403 MISSING_SCOPE The token is valid but this request is not allowed, and code says why: MISSING_SCOPE (the token lacks the scope), FORBIDDEN (the owner's role does not allow it), ACCESS_DENIED (the owner cannot manage Next Exams), API_DISABLED (the API Tokens app is off), APP_DISABLED (the feature's app is off — meta.app names it), ACCOUNT_UNUSABLE (the owner is blocked or must reset their password), DEMO_LOCKED (a demo site).
404 NOT_FOUND No record has this id.
422 The request is well formed but would lose data (OPTIONS_REQUIRED).
