# Error handling

Clym uses conventional HTTP response codes to indicate the success or failure of an API request. Status codes in the `2xx` range indicate success, status codes in the `4xx` range indicate an error on your side, while status codes in the `5xx` range indicate an error on our side.

The error object returned usually has the following pattern.

```json
{
    "error": {
        "code": "DATA.INVALID_NAME",
        "ns": "DATA",
        "message": "The specified name is not valid",
        "status": 400,
        "data": {
            "field": "name"
        }
    }
}
```

* `code` represents the error code, always in uppercase
* `ns`  represents the namespace of that error, such as `DATA` or `PARTNER`  or `INSTANCE` 
* `message` represents additional information about the error that occurred
* `status` represents the HTTP status code returned
* `data` represents additional structured information about the error.
