Common API Errors
Null Drop uses standard HTTP response codes to indicate the success or failure of an API request.
Error Code Reference
401 Unauthorized
- Cause: Your API key is missing, invalid, or has been revoked.
- Solution: Check your API Keys dashboard to verify your token. Ensure it is passed in the
Authorization: Bearer <key>header.
403 Forbidden
- Cause: You are attempting to access a resource (like a specific bucket or upload) that your account does not have permissions for.
- Solution: Verify the ownership and sharing settings of the target resource.
404 Not Found
- Cause: The requested file, library item, or endpoint does not exist.
- Solution: Double-check the ID or the API path (e.g.,
/libraryvs/uploads).
413 Payload Too Large
- Cause: The file you are trying to upload exceeds your current account tier limit.
- Solution: Check Storage and Limits for your quota. You may need to upgrade via Null Pass.
429 Too Many Requests
- Cause: You have exceeded the rate limit for your tier (typically 100 requests per minute for Pro).
- Solution: Implement exponential backoff in your integration or upgrade your tier for higher limits.
