Error handling

Panelbear uses standard HTTP status codes to indicate if your request succeeded or failed. In addition to the HTTP status code, we include a human-friendly message in JSON format.

$ curl -H "Authorization: Bearer <TOKEN>" \
       -H "Content-type: application/json" \
       "https://api.panelbear.com/v1/sites"

< HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized
< Content-Type: application/json

{
  "message": "Unauthorized. Your credentials are missing or invalid."
}
