Error Type Reference

Error responses carry an error.type enumeration. This page lists each value, what it means, and what to do about it.

Coverage

This reference was recovered from the Paciolan developer portal as it stood in 2020, and has not been reconciled against the current specifications. It covers 71 values, but 12 types declared in the Legacy, Link v1 and Link v2 specs are not yet documented here:

INVALID_BARCODE, INVALID_INPUT, INVALID_REQUEST_ID, INVALID_TOKEN, LISTINGID_NOT_FOUND, LISTING_INFO_NOT_FOUND, MULTIPLE_CLIENT_IDS, NOT_FOUND, SEAT_RECORD_LOCKED, TOKEN_NOT_FOUND, TOO_MANY_TOKENS, UNPROCESSABLE_ENTITY

A thirteenth, INVALID_ITEM_PRIORITY, carried no description in the source export and is omitted rather than published empty. It is not declared in any current spec either.

For any specific endpoint, the response schemas in the API reference are authoritative — they list the types that endpoint can actually return, along with retry guidance and app error codes. Use this page for the broader catalogue.

The Entry API v1 uses a different error shape (message / error / statusCode) and does not use these enumerations.
