## Other responses

- `400` — Request was rejected before the endpoint could process it. Common causes: invalid `Accept` header, unsupported `x-api-language` code, empty request body on `POST` / `PUT`, invalid JSON in the request body, or an invalid slug format in a path parameter.
- `401` — Missing `x-api-key` header.
- `403` — Authenticated request denied. Common causes: invalid or unknown API key, suspended account, or `api` feature not enabled for the account.
- `404` — Resource identified by the path slug does not exist. Returned when the slug is well-formed but no record matches it.
- `429` — Rate limit of 60 requests per minute exceeded.
