Error Code Overview

If an error occurs during an API call, no results will be returned. The cause of the error can be identified using the error codes provided by each API. When an API call fails, an HTTP status code in the 3xx, 4xx, or 5xx range is returned. The response body also includes a specific error code and an error message. If you are unable to determine the cause of the error, contact the Huawei Cloud customer service and provide the error code so we can help you address the problem as soon as possible.

Error Response Syntax

When an error occurs, its response header includes the following information:

  • Content-Type: application/xml
  • HTTP status code: 3xx, 4xx, or 5xx

The response body also provides details about the error. The following example error response illustrates the common elements in all Representational State Transfer (REST) error responses.
