Error Codes/Messages

If the call is unsuccessful an error code/message is returned. One or more examples of possible errors for this operation are shown below.

Item	Value
401	Unauthorized. For example, you would get this response if you didn't include the custom X-Csrf-Token_{fedmemberID} header in the request, when it was required by the platform settings; or if you included an invalid or expired value for this header. You would also get this response for any operation that requires login (almost all) if the login cookie was missing.
400	Bad request: Returned if the client sends a malformed request; for example, invalid parameters or body content. For example, you would get this response if you specified an invalid value for ModelCategory in the request body.
500	An error occurred processing the call.
