Errors

Every error from the Eventwren API is an RFC 9457 problem, sent as application/problem+json. This page is the catalog; its JSON is problems.json.

A problem has type (a link to its entry below), title (fixed per code), status (the HTTP status), detail (what went wrong this time) and code. Some add fields such as errors, account_url and for_human. The older error object, { code, message }, is still in the same body, so clients written against it keep working.

{
  "type": "/problems/#needs_card",
  "title": "The account owner must add a card",
  "status": 402,
  "detail": "Add a card before posting.",
  "code": "needs_card",
  "account_url": "https://eventwren.com/account?t=…",
  "for_human": true,
  "error": {
    "code": "needs_card",
    "message": "Add a card before posting.",
    "account_url": "https://eventwren.com/account?t=…",
    "for_human": true
  }
}

When a problem carries account_url with for_human: true, only the account's owner can fix it: give them the link.
