## Other responses

- `400`: Bad request Returned, for example, when there's nothing to update or the provided details are unsupported for this operation. If the invalid value is an array item, the error might indicate the array index of this faulty item, counting from `0`. For example, if you provide the list of countries, such as `"countries": ["GB", "USA", ...]`, the first item (`GB`) has index `0`, the second item (`USA`) has index `1`, and so on. In the example, `USA` is invalid, because it should be a 2-letter code. In such a case, the error will indicate that `countries[1]` is invalid, thus pointing to the second item in the array, i.e. `USA`.
- `401`: Unauthorised Returned, for example, when the credentials you used to make the request are invalid. For more information, see the **Authorization** section.
- `404`: Card invitation doesn't exist The card invitation for which you wish to update details does not exist.
- `422`: Unprocessable Entity Returned, for example, when you try to update a card invitation that's not in state `created`. Such an invitation is no longer active and therefore cannot be modified.
- `default`: Unexpected error
