Errors

When the authentication of API user is not correct, any API request will fail with the following status and statusDescription:

{"status":"Failed","statusDescription":"Invalid authentication, incorrect auth-id or auth-password."}

If there is not added a domain name or if the requested domain does not exist in your account, the following status will be returned:

{"status":"Failed","statusDescription":"Missing domain-name"}
