Every Geekflare API response includes an apiCode that mirrors the HTTP status code, plus a message describing what went wrong. Use this page as the canonical reference; the sections below link to dedicated troubleshooting guides for the most common failures.

​
Success

​
Client Errors (4xx)

​
404 — Not Found

Returned when the endpoint path or HTTP method is wrong (for example, sending a GET request to an endpoint that only accepts POST).
Double-check the endpoint path against the API Reference and confirm you’re using the correct HTTP method.

​
Server Errors (5xx)

Any 5xx response indicates an issue on Geekflare’s infrastructure, not your request. These are generally not charged against your credit balance — see Failed Requests. If you see a 5xx error, check status.geekflare.com first to confirm whether it’s a known incident, then retry with backoff (see Best Practices). If it persists, contact support.

Unauthorized (401)

Missing or invalid API key

Credit Exhausted (402)

Zero credit balance

Forbidden (403)

Endpoint not available on your plan

Rate Limit Exceeded (429)

Too many requests per second
