           "parameter": "owner.firstName",

Error types

The following table contains a list of DigitalRiver.js error types.

Type	Description
bad_request	The server could not process the request due to a client error (for example, malformed request syntax). Correct the problem and try again.
not_found	The server can't find the requested resource. No indication is given of whether the condition is temporary or permanent.
request_timeout	The client did not produce the request within the time that the server was prepared to wait. Resend the request without modifications at any later time.
internal_server_error	The server encountered an unexpected problem that prevented it from fulfilling the request.
unauthorized	The request requires user authentication. Resend the request with valid user authentication.
too_many_requests	The user sent too many requests in a given amount of time ("rate limiting"). The response should include details explaining the condition and may include a Retry-After header indicating how long to wait before sending a new request.
conflict	There is a request conflict with the current state of the server. Conflicts are most likely to occur in response to a PUT request. For example, you may get a 409 response when uploading a file that is older than the one already on the server resulting in a version control conflict.
validation_error	Errors triggered by our client-side libraries when failing to validate fields (for example, when a card number or expiration date is invalid or incomplete). Used by: DigitalRiver.js
no_network	There is no network coverage or cellular data connection.
