# Error codes

All API responses are in JSON format. A `result` field, with a value of `success` or `error` is returned with each request. In the event of an error, a `message` field will provide an error message.

**HTTP error codes**

The Kaiko platform API uses the following error codes:

| Error Code | Meaning                                                                                                                                                                  |
