VALIDATION_ERROR

The request did not validate

HTTP status 400 Bad Request, code VALIDATION_ERROR.

What it means#

The body, query string, path parameters or headers did not match what the operation declares. The response carries a validationErrors array, one entry per problem, each with the path of the offending field, a message and a validation code. This is also the code for a domain rule expressed as input validation, such as a sale window whose end is before its start.

What to do#

Read validationErrors and correct each field it names. The OpenAPI document for the operation is the reference for the shape it accepts. Do not retry the same request unchanged.

On the wire#

Every error response carrying this code names this page in error.moreInfo, with the request id in the query string. See Error codes for the response shape and the list of every code.
