Page Summary
-
The
Statustype is a structured approach to representing errors in APIs, suitable for REST and RPC. -
Each
Statusobject contains the error code (integer), an English error message (string), and an optional array of objects with error details (details). -
A
detailsobject includes an@typefield with a URI to specify the type of error, enabling flexible representation.
The Status
type defines a logical error model that is suitable for different programming environments, including REST APIs and RPC APIs. It is used by gRPC
. Each Status
message contains three pieces of data: error code, error message, and error details.
You can find out more about this error model and how to work with it in the API Design Guide .
