412 Precondition Failed

Understand the 412 Precondition Failed error codes for the Shopper APIs.

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. This code means the server couldn't process your request because one or more of the conditions you specified in the request headers were false. 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. These conditions include version checks, modifications made since a certain date, or other requirements the request must meet before the operation succeeds. It's important to understand the cause of the 412 error so you can fix it and use the web service or API.
