Status

    • The Status type is a structured approach to representing errors in systems like REST APIs and RPC APIs, encompassing an error code, message, and details for comprehensive error handling.

    • It's built upon a standard JSON structure with designated fields for 'code', 'message', and 'details', ensuring consistent error reporting across different platforms and programming environments.

    • Developers can leverage the accompanying API Design Guide to delve deeper into using the Status type effectively and gain practical insights for its implementation.

    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 .

    Fields
    code

    integer

    The status code, which should be an enum value of google.rpc.Code .
    message

    string

    A developer-facing error message, which should be in English. Any user-facing error message should be localized and sent in the google.rpc.Status.details field, or localized by the client.
    details[]

    object

    A list of messages that carry the error details. There is a common set of message types for APIs to use.

    An object containing fields of an arbitrary type. An additional field "@type" contains a URI identifying the type. Example: { "id": 1234, "@type": "types.example.com/standard/id" } .
