Error management

Soundcharts API follows HTTP specifications regarding error handling, each method describe the available response code it returns

The response always contains an errors array at root level that can provide more detailed error messages :

{
    "errors": [
      {
        "key": "string",
        "code": 0,

    ]
  }

Entities, collections & paginated results

Single object response have the following form:

}
