mabl indicates the status of API requests with standard HTTP response codes. In general:
- 2xx response codes indicate success.
- 3xx response codes indicate redirects.
- 4xx response codes indicate an error with the API request, such as a missing parameter value or API key.
- 5xx response codes indicate an error on mabl's end.
Troubleshooting 4xx responses
| Response | Description |
|---|---|
| 400 | Invalid or missing parameters |
| 401 | Invalid or missing authentication - make sure you use Basic Authentication and provide a valid key in the "password" portion |
| 403 | Unauthorized - the API key does not have the right permissions to make the request, or the request used parameters (like IDs) for a different mabl workspace |
| 404 | Invalid ID - for example, if you use a test ID for a parameter that requires a test run ID, the mabl API returns a 404 |
Troubleshooting 5xx responses
5xx responses are rare. If you receive a 5xx response:
- Retry the request.
- Check the mabl status page.
- Reach out to support if a 5xx response persists and there is nothing on the mabl status page.
