401Missing or invalid API token.

idstring必須

Unique exception id (ex_ followed by 32 lowercase hex chars, no dashes — e.g. ex_8f5c0c8e0e0a4a3c9b3f4f2c4f6c8d2a). Quote this in support tickets so we can find the request in our logs.

titlestring必須

Human-readable summary of the error, in English.

correlationIDstring必須

Request correlation id (rq_ followed by 32 lowercase hex chars, no dashes — e.g. rq_01abf3...). Identical to the X-Correlation-Id response header. Pass an X-Correlation-Id request header to thread your trace through to ours.

codestring

Sub-reason code surfaced from upstream BoxHero core (on core-mapped 4xx) or from the gateway itself (e.g. not-available-for-api-token on 403). Use this for fine-grained branching after dispatching on type.

errorsarray of object

Field-level error details. Present on /errors/invalid-request (400) responses. Each entry locates a single failure via JSONPath-like path segments and a human-readable message.

402The team is over its location plan limit — it has more locations than the current plan covers (for example, extra locations kept after a downgrade), so this stock write is blocked. The limit is team-wide, so targeting a different location does not help; upgrade the plan or remove excess locations to continue.
