Error reporting:

The response contains a "soap fault" or json error object for errors which indicate there is some coding error such as:

  • unexpected exception thrown in the service code itself (http status 500)

  • an input parameter passed into the service is out of range or otherwise invalid (http status 400)

  • authentication is missing or invalid or does not authorize the requested service (http status 403)

There are also error conditions which can be expected such as "subscription expired" which is reported in a "status code" and "message" as part of a normal response.
