# Error format for Admin APIs

When interacting with our Admin APIs, it is important to understand the structure of the error responses you might encounter. Errors are returned in a standard format, making it easier to handle them programmatically. Each error response includes a standard HTTP status code, a machine-readable error code, a human-readable error message, and, optionally, details that offer more context about the error. This approach ensures you can quickly identify and resolve any issues encountered using our Admin APIs.
