Default error messages

Beside their specific error messages, the API calls may also return specific error messages:

  • ‘Parameter auth_key is required’
    Most API calls require the “auth_key” parameter. This key was generated when the Pro6PP (trial) account was created.
  • ‘auth_key does not exist’
    The given “auth_key’ parameter doesn’t exist. Please check for mistakes in the auth key, or create a new Pro6PP (trial) account to receive a new key.
  • ‘auth_key is not activated yet’
    When a Pro6PP (trial) account was created, a verification email was sent. The link in the verification email hasn’t been visited yet.
  • ‘auth_key has expired’
    The Pro6PP (trial) account has expired. A trial account is valid for 2 months. After it has expired, it can be extended in our CMS.
  • ‘auth_key has no more credits’
    Our “prepaid” subscription, you grant you a number of credits to make API calls. The credit limit has been reached. The credit limit can be changed in our CMS.
  • ‘Unable to get required REFERER’
    Please see our FAQ about security.
