​
Invalid authorization

If Endor Labs can’t verify your access token (for example, it’s empty or expired), Endor Labs terminates the request and returns an invalid authorization response. 
{
    "code": 16,
    "message": "Invalid authorization header: Bearer",
    "details": [
        {
            "@type": "type.googleapis.com/internal.endor.ai.rpc.v1.HTTPErrorInfo",
            "status_code": 401
        }
    ]
}

​
Remediation

Try creating a new token or, if you have a valid API key and secret in your ~/.endorctl/config.yaml file, unsetting the environment variable (unset ENDOR_TOKEN). For more information, see Authentication.

​
Permission Denied

If your access token lacks the required permissions for a namespace or operation, Endor Labs terminates the request and returns an unauthorized response. 
{
  "code": 7,
  "message": "Unauthorized request for given endpoint",
  "details": [
    {
      "@type": "type.googleapis.com/internal.endor.ai.rpc.v1.HTTPErrorInfo",
      "status_code": 403
    }
  ]
}

​
Remediation

Check the value of the ENDOR_NAMESPACE environment variable, the variable with the same name in the ~/.endorctl/config.yaml file, or the API endpoint URL. For more information, see Authentication.

​
Context deadline exceeded

If it takes too long to process an API request, Endor Labs will terminate the request and you will receive a timeout response and a “context deadline exceeded” message. 
{
    "code": 4,
    "message": "context deadline exceeded",
    "details": []
}
Endor Labs reserves the right to change the timeout window to protect the speed and reliability of the API.

​
Remediation

You can increase the request timeout limit or you can try to simplify your request. For instance, if you are requesting 100 items per page, try requesting fewer items. For more information, see Best practices.

​
Invalid argument

If a request is missing a required field, or includes a non-existent field, Endor Labs will return an “invalid argument” response. The response message field contains details about the error, such as the field name and the specific problem with it. For example, Endor Labs returns the following response if you request findings with the field mask uui instead of uuid: 
{
  "code": 3,
  "message": "mask: proto: invalid path "uui" for message "internal.endor.ai.endor.v1.Finding"",
  "details": [
    {
      "@type": "type.googleapis.com/internal.endor.ai.rpc.v1.HTTPErrorInfo",
      "status_code": 400
    }
  ]
}

​
PATCH requests

Here is an example response to an PATCH (update) request that sent a Finding as the payload instead of an UpdateFinding: 
{
  "code": 3,
  "message": "invalid Finding.Meta: value is required; invalid Finding.Spec: value is required",
  "details": [
    {
      "@type": "type.googleapis.com/internal.endor.ai.rpc.v1.HTTPErrorInfo",
      "status_code": 400
    }
  ]
}

​
Remediation

Make sure to use the right data structure as the payload for your PATCH requests. For example: 
{
  "request" : {
    "update_mask": "meta.tags"
  },
  "object" : {
    "uuid" : "<uuid>",
    "meta" : {
      "tags": [
        "<tags>"
      ]
    }
  }
}
