# 412 Precondition Failed

When you use a web API or service, you might get different status codes that tell you whether your request was successful. One of these status codes is `412 Precondition Failed`.

These conditions ensure that the data is consistent and correct.

If you see a `412` error, you should look closer at the conditions specified in the request.
