Declines the proof with a reason, sending the line back rather than into production.

reason is a code from this line’s own list

Read GET .../proof/denial-reasons first and send one of its code values. A code that line does not offer – including one that is valid on a different line – is refused with 422 denial_reason_not_available, and detail lists what is valid. UNKNOWN is never accepted.

comment is optional and free text, up to 2,000 characters. Several reasons exist precisely to be paired with one (SEE_COMMENT is “I will describe any issues in the comments below”), so send it when the reason alone will not tell prepress what to fix.

How the reason is recorded, and why that matters to you

Your reason and comment are recorded together as text on the line’s proof log entry – the reason’s own wording first, then your comment – which is what the Collaterate operator working the job reads. Collaterate stores no separate structured denial-reason field on a line, on this route or on its own storefront one, so there is no machine-readable “why” to query back afterwards. Two consequences worth designing around: write a comment that stands on its own, and keep your own record of the code you sent if you need to report on declines by reason.

Only from PENDING_REVIEW

Identical to approve: 409 proof_not_pending_review unless the line is awaiting a decision, 409 order_item_cancelled for a cancelled line, and neither reaches Collaterate. Retrying a decline that already succeeded gets the same 409; treat it as success.

The response is an acknowledgement, not a re-read

As with approve – see that operation. The reason echoed back is the code you sent.

Parameters

Path Parameters

orderNumber

required

integer

itemNumber

required

integer

The line’s itemNumber, from GET /v1/orders/{orderNumber}/items.

Request Body^required

Media typeapplication/json

The body of POST .../proof/decline. Any key other than reason and comment is refused rather than ignored.

object

reason

required

A code from GET .../proof/denial-reasons for this line. Never Collaterate’s numeric denial-reason id, which this API does not publish. A code the line does not offer is refused with 422 denial_reason_not_available.

string

comment

Free text recorded with the decline, and what prepress reads to know what to fix. Some reasons exist to be paired with one – SEE_COMMENT in particular. Omit the field rather than sending null; whitespace-only is treated as omitted.

string

<= 2000 characters

Example

{
  "reason": "COLOR_INCORRECT",
  "comment": "The blue in the logo is reading purple."
}

Responses

200

The decline was accepted.

Media typeapplication/json

The acknowledgement returned by POST .../proof/approve and POST .../proof/decline.

It is what was accepted, not a re-read of the line: a line changing moves no watermark this API publishes, so there is nothing to converge a read-back against. Read the settled state from GET /v1/orders/{orderNumber}/items.

object

orderNumber

required

integer

itemNumber

required

integer

proofStatus

required

The decision that was accepted.

string

Allowed values: APPROVED DECLINED

reason

The denial-reason code you sent. Present on a decline only, and echoed as the code rather than the id it was resolved to.

string

Examples

Exampledefault

{
  "orderNumber": 1000234,
  "itemNumber": 884213,
  "proofStatus": "DECLINED",

}

400

The path parameters are malformed, the body is not a JSON object, it carries an unknown key, reason is missing or not a non-empty string, comment is not a string or is over 2,000 characters, or Collaterate rejected the decision.

Media typeapplication/problem+json

RFC 9457 application/problem+json body. code is the published, stable, machine-readable field to branch your integration logic on – detail is a human-readable string that may be reworded over time and must not be parsed.

This table is the whole published set: every code this API can return appears below, and nothing below is unreachable. test/docs/openapi-matches-reality.test.ts compares the enum to the codes the handlers actually construct, so a code added to one side and not the other fails the build rather than shipping.

Published code values:

code	HTTP status	Meaning	Retry?
invalid_cursor	400	The cursor query parameter could not be decoded.	No – restart pagination with no cursor. Do not resend the same value.
invalid_site_id	400	The siteId filter is not a positive integer, or it names a site outside your grant. detail says which.	No – fix the parameter against GET /v1/me’s grantedSiteIds.
invalid_order_number	400	The order number in the path is not a positive integer.	No – fix the path.
invalid_product_id	400	The productId path segment on GET /v1/products/{productId} does not match the SLO_/SLS_-prefixed shape.	No – fix the path.
invalid_service_type	400	GET /v1/products’s serviceType filter is not one of the values this API can order (STOCK or POD).	No – fix the parameter.
updated_since_not_supported	400	An updatedSince parameter was sent. Rejected rather than ignored, on purpose – see “No updatedSince / no change polling” above.	No – remove the parameter; there is no change-polling mechanism to switch to.
invalid_request	400	POST /v1/orders’s request body failed validation – malformed JSON, a missing or malformed field, an unknown key, or a body-level rule such as partnerLineId uniqueness or a misplaced shipTo – or GET /v1/orders/submissions’s status/limit filter is malformed. detail names the exact violation.	No – fix the request.
invalid_submission_id	400	The submissionId path segment on GET /v1/orders/submissions/{submissionId} is not a well-formed UUID.	No – fix the path.
invalid_quantity	400	The quantity on POST /v1/products/{productId}/quote is missing or not a positive integer.	No – fix the request body.
invalid_shipping_quote_request	400	POST /v1/shipping/quote’s body failed validation – malformed JSON, a missing or mistyped field, an unknown key at the top level or inside shipTo, or a weightOunces outside 0 < w <= 5000000. detail names the field.	No – fix the request body.
invalid_item_number	400	The itemNumber path segment on a proof route is not a positive integer. It is the line’s itemNumber from GET /v1/orders/{orderNumber}/items, never a Collaterate internal id.	No – fix the path.
invalid_token	401	The credential is missing, expired, or invalid.	No – mint a new token, retry once, then investigate the credential.
insufficient_scope	403	The token lacks the scope required for this operation.	No – mint a token with the required scope.
order_not_found	404	No such order, or one that exists outside your granted sites (see above).	No.
order_item_not_found	404	No line matching (orderNumber, itemNumber) resolves for you – absent, outside your granted sites, or hidden from the customer, identically.	No.
product_not_found	404	No such product, or one that exists but belongs to a site outside your granted sites (same rule as order_not_found).	No.
quote_product_not_found	404	The product resolved in our own catalog but Collaterate could not price it. Rare.	No.
template_not_found	404	GET /v1/products/{productId}/template found no Chili template for this product – not TEMPLATE-classified, TEMPLATE-classified with a legacy EDOC/CANVA vendor, or Chili-templated with no document configured. All three identically.	No.
submission_not_found	404	No submission exists with this id for your credential – whether it never existed or belongs to another partner, identically.	No.
ordering_not_provisioned	409	POST /v1/orders’s siteId has no ordering user configured. This is set up per (partner, site) by staff at onboarding; a partner cannot provision it themselves.	No – ask Partner Integrations to provision an ordering user for the site, then retry.
partner_order_id_reused	409	POST /v1/orders’s partnerOrderId was already used, with a request body that does not match this one. Resending the identical body under the same partnerOrderId is safe and returns the original submission (see the operation description); reusing it for a materially different order is rejected instead of silently creating a second order.	No – use a new partnerOrderId, or resend the exact original body to poll the existing submission.
proof_not_pending_review	409	A proof approve or decline was sent for a line whose proofStatus is not PENDING_REVIEW – no proof yet, already decided, or a state this API does not recognise. detail says which. On a RETRY of a decision that already succeeded, this is the expected answer and means success.	No – read the line’s current proofStatus from GET /v1/orders/{orderNumber}/items.
order_item_cancelled	409	A proof approve or decline was sent for a cancelled line. It will never be produced, so its proof cannot be decided.	No.
quote_invalid	422	Collaterate rejected the quote on business-validation grounds (e.g. quantity over the product’s configured maximum). detail carries Collaterate’s own validation message.	No – fix the request body (e.g. reduce quantity).
unknown_country_code	422	POST /v1/shipping/quote’s shipTo.country is not a country code Collaterate recognises.	No – send a code Collaterate carries (US, CA, MX, …).
unknown_state_code	422	POST /v1/shipping/quote’s shipTo.state is not a state or province of the country you sent. State codes are resolved WITHIN the country, since they are not unique across countries.	No – fix the state, or the country it belongs to.
shipping_quote_unavailable	422	POST /v1/shipping/quote produced no priced service at all for that destination and weight. detail carries Collaterate’s own reasons when it gave any – an invalid postal code for the country is the common one – and says so plainly when it did not.	No – fix the destination. An empty result is never returned as a 200.
denial_reason_not_available	422	POST .../proof/decline’s reason is well-formed but is not a denial reason this line’s proof offers – including a code that is valid on a different line, and UNKNOWN, which never is. detail lists what is valid here.	No – pick a code from GET .../proof/denial-reasons for this line.
rate_limit_exceeded	429	Rate limit or daily quota exceeded.	Yes – honor Retry-After.
internal_error	500	Unexpected server-side failure. Detail is always the fixed string below, never the underlying error.	No, or with caution – if persistent, contact Partner Integrations.
service_unavailable	503	Transient failure – typically the database path, but also a Lambda that crashed, timed out, or hit its own concurrency limit before any handler ran.	Yes, with backoff.

Three statuses are answered by the API gateway before your request reaches application code: 401 (authorizer denial), 429 (usage-plan throttle), and 503 (the Lambda integration itself failed). All three are configured to return this same document with the codes above, so one parser and one branch on code covers every error this API produces. The 403 on GET /v1/ping is the sole exception anywhere in the API – it comes from the edge firewall, which is not ours to shape, and carries no problem document.

}

401

Missing, expired, or otherwise invalid credential. Not retryable as-is.

Produced by the API gateway’s authorizer, before the request reaches any application code, so every cause – no Authorization header, a malformed one, a token that is expired, wrongly signed, from the wrong pool, or belongs to a credential that has been disabled – yields this identical response. The gateway is configured to answer in the same application/problem+json shape as everything else, so you do not need a second parser for this status; what it cannot do is tell you which of those causes applied.

quote_invalid	422	Collaterate rejected the quote on business-validation grounds (e.g. quantity over the product’s configured maximum). detail carries Collaterate’s own validation message.	No – fix the request body (e.g. reduce quantity).
unknown_country_code	422	POST /v1/shipping/quote’s shipTo.country is not a country code Collaterate recognises.	No – send a code Collaterate carries (US, CA, MX, …).
unknown_state_code	422	POST /v1/shipping/quote’s shipTo.state is not a state or province of the country you sent. State codes are resolved WITHIN the country, since they are not unique across countries.	No – fix the state, or the country it belongs to.
shipping_quote_unavailable	422	POST /v1/shipping/quote produced no priced service at all for that destination and weight. detail carries Collaterate’s own reasons when it gave any – an invalid postal code for the country is the common one – and says so plainly when it did not.	No – fix the destination. An empty result is never returned as a 200.
denial_reason_not_available	422	POST .../proof/decline’s reason is well-formed but is not a denial reason this line’s proof offers – including a code that is valid on a different line, and UNKNOWN, which never is. detail lists what is valid here.	No – pick a code from GET .../proof/denial-reasons for this line.
rate_limit_exceeded	429	Rate limit or daily quota exceeded.	Yes – honor Retry-After.
internal_error	500	Unexpected server-side failure. Detail is always the fixed string below, never the underlying error.	No, or with caution – if persistent, contact Partner Integrations.
service_unavailable	503	Transient failure – typically the database path, but also a Lambda that crashed, timed out, or hit its own concurrency limit before any handler ran.	Yes, with backoff.

Three statuses are answered by the API gateway before your request reaches application code: 401 (authorizer denial), 429 (usage-plan throttle), and 503 (the Lambda integration itself failed). All three are configured to return this same document with the codes above, so one parser and one branch on code covers every error this API produces. The 403 on GET /v1/ping is the sole exception anywhere in the API – it comes from the edge firewall, which is not ours to shape, and carries no problem document.

Media typeapplication/problem+json

RFC 9457 application/problem+json body. code is the published, stable, machine-readable field to branch your integration logic on – detail is a human-readable string that may be reworded over time and must not be parsed.

This table is the whole published set: every code this API can return appears below, and nothing below is unreachable. test/docs/openapi-matches-reality.test.ts compares the enum to the codes the handlers actually construct, so a code added to one side and not the other fails the build rather than shipping.

Published code values:

code	HTTP status	Meaning	Retry?
invalid_cursor	400	The cursor query parameter could not be decoded.	No – restart pagination with no cursor. Do not resend the same value.
invalid_site_id	400	The siteId filter is not a positive integer, or it names a site outside your grant. detail says which.	No – fix the parameter against GET /v1/me’s grantedSiteIds.
invalid_order_number	400	The order number in the path is not a positive integer.	No – fix the path.
invalid_product_id	400	The productId path segment on GET /v1/products/{productId} does not match the SLO_/SLS_-prefixed shape.	No – fix the path.
invalid_service_type	400	GET /v1/products’s serviceType filter is not one of the values this API can order (STOCK or POD).	No – fix the parameter.
updated_since_not_supported	400	An updatedSince parameter was sent. Rejected rather than ignored, on purpose – see “No updatedSince / no change polling” above.	No – remove the parameter; there is no change-polling mechanism to switch to.
invalid_request	400	POST /v1/orders’s request body failed validation – malformed JSON, a missing or malformed field, an unknown key, or a body-level rule such as partnerLineId uniqueness or a misplaced shipTo – or GET /v1/orders/submissions’s status/limit filter is malformed. detail names the exact violation.	No – fix the request.
invalid_submission_id	400	The submissionId path segment on GET /v1/orders/submissions/{submissionId} is not a well-formed UUID.	No – fix the path.
invalid_quantity	400	The quantity on POST /v1/products/{productId}/quote is missing or not a positive integer.	No – fix the request body.
invalid_shipping_quote_request	400	POST /v1/shipping/quote’s body failed validation – malformed JSON, a missing or mistyped field, an unknown key at the top level or inside shipTo, or a weightOunces outside 0 < w <= 5000000. detail names the field.	No – fix the request body.
invalid_item_number	400	The itemNumber path segment on a proof route is not a positive integer. It is the line’s itemNumber from GET /v1/orders/{orderNumber}/items, never a Collaterate internal id.	No – fix the path.
invalid_token	401	The credential is missing, expired, or invalid.	No – mint a new token, retry once, then investigate the credential.
insufficient_scope	403	The token lacks the scope required for this operation.	No – mint a token with the required scope.
order_not_found	404	No such order, or one that exists outside your granted sites (see above).	No.
order_item_not_found	404	No line matching (orderNumber, itemNumber) resolves for you – absent, outside your granted sites, or hidden from the customer, identically.	No.
product_not_found	404	No such product, or one that exists but belongs to a site outside your granted sites (same rule as order_not_found).	No.
quote_product_not_found	404	The product resolved in our own catalog but Collaterate could not price it. Rare.	No.
template_not_found	404	GET /v1/products/{productId}/template found no Chili template for this product – not TEMPLATE-classified, TEMPLATE-classified with a legacy EDOC/CANVA vendor, or Chili-templated with no document configured. All three identically.	No.
submission_not_found	404	No submission exists with this id for your credential – whether it never existed or belongs to another partner, identically.	No.
ordering_not_provisioned	409	POST /v1/orders’s siteId has no ordering user configured. This is set up per (partner, site) by staff at onboarding; a partner cannot provision it themselves.	No – ask Partner Integrations to provision an ordering user for the site, then retry.
partner_order_id_reused	409	POST /v1/orders’s partnerOrderId was already used, with a request body that does not match this one. Resending the identical body under the same partnerOrderId is safe and returns the original submission (see the operation description); reusing it for a materially different order is rejected instead of silently creating a second order.	No – use a new partnerOrderId, or resend the exact original body to poll the existing submission.
proof_not_pending_review	409	A proof approve or decline was sent for a line whose proofStatus is not PENDING_REVIEW – no proof yet, already decided, or a state this API does not recognise. detail says which. On a RETRY of a decision that already succeeded, this is the expected answer and means success.	No – read the line’s current proofStatus from GET /v1/orders/{orderNumber}/items.
order_item_cancelled	409	A proof approve or decline was sent for a cancelled line. It will never be produced, so its proof cannot be decided.	No.
quote_invalid	422	Collaterate rejected the quote on business-validation grounds (e.g. quantity over the product’s configured maximum). detail carries Collaterate’s own validation message.	No – fix the request body (e.g. reduce quantity).

unknown_state_code	422	POST /v1/shipping/quote’s shipTo.state is not a state or province of the country you sent. State codes are resolved WITHIN the country, since they are not unique across countries.	No – fix the state, or the country it belongs to.
shipping_quote_unavailable	422	POST /v1/shipping/quote produced no priced service at all for that destination and weight. detail carries Collaterate’s own reasons when it gave any – an invalid postal code for the country is the common one – and says so plainly when it did not.	No – fix the destination. An empty result is never returned as a 200.

order_item_cancelled	409	A proof approve or decline was sent for a cancelled line. It will never be produced, so its proof cannot be decided.	No.
quote_invalid	422	Collaterate rejected the quote on business-validation grounds (e.g. quantity over the product’s configured maximum). detail carries Collaterate’s own validation message.	No – fix the request body (e.g. reduce quantity).
unknown_country_code	422	POST /v1/shipping/quote’s shipTo.country is not a country code Collaterate recognises.	No – send a code Collaterate carries (US, CA, MX, …).
unknown_state_code	422	POST /v1/shipping/quote’s shipTo.state is not a state or province of the country you sent. State codes are resolved WITHIN the country, since they are not unique across countries.	No – fix the state, or the country it belongs to.
shipping_quote_unavailable	422	POST /v1/shipping/quote produced no priced service at all for that destination and weight. detail carries Collaterate’s own reasons when it gave any – an invalid postal code for the country is the common one – and says so plainly when it did not.	No – fix the destination. An empty result is never returned as a 200.
denial_reason_not_available	422	POST .../proof/decline’s reason is well-formed but is not a denial reason this line’s proof offers – including a code that is valid on a different line, and UNKNOWN, which never is. detail lists what is valid here.	No – pick a code from GET .../proof/denial-reasons for this line.
rate_limit_exceeded	429	Rate limit or daily quota exceeded.	Yes – honor Retry-After.
internal_error	500	Unexpected server-side failure. Detail is always the fixed string below, never the underlying error.	No, or with caution – if persistent, contact Partner Integrations.
service_unavailable	503	Transient failure – typically the database path, but also a Lambda that crashed, timed out, or hit its own concurrency limit before any handler ran.	Yes, with backoff.

Three statuses are answered by the API gateway before your request reaches application code: 401 (authorizer denial), 429 (usage-plan throttle), and 503 (the Lambda integration itself failed). All three are configured to return this same document with the codes above, so one parser and one branch on code covers every error this API produces. The 403 on GET /v1/ping is the sole exception anywhere in the API – it comes from the edge firewall, which is not ours to shape, and carries no problem document.

429

Your rate limit or daily quota was exceeded. Retryable – honor the Retry-After header (seconds) before your next attempt.

Like the 401, this comes from the gateway’s usage plan rather than from application code, and is configured to carry the same problem document as every other error so a single parser covers the whole API.

Media typeapplication/problem+json

RFC 9457 application/problem+json body. code is the published, stable, machine-readable field to branch your integration logic on – detail is a human-readable string that may be reworded over time and must not be parsed.

This table is the whole published set: every code this API can return appears below, and nothing below is unreachable. test/docs/openapi-matches-reality.test.ts compares the enum to the codes the handlers actually construct, so a code added to one side and not the other fails the build rather than shipping.

Published code values:

code	HTTP status	Meaning	Retry?
invalid_cursor	400	The cursor query parameter could not be decoded.	No – restart pagination with no cursor. Do not resend the same value.
invalid_site_id	400	The siteId filter is not a positive integer, or it names a site outside your grant. detail says which.	No – fix the parameter against GET /v1/me’s grantedSiteIds.
invalid_order_number	400	The order number in the path is not a positive integer.	No – fix the path.
invalid_product_id	400	The productId path segment on GET /v1/products/{productId} does not match the SLO_/SLS_-prefixed shape.	No – fix the path.
invalid_service_type	400	GET /v1/products’s serviceType filter is not one of the values this API can order (STOCK or POD).	No – fix the parameter.
updated_since_not_supported	400	An updatedSince parameter was sent. Rejected rather than ignored, on purpose – see “No updatedSince / no change polling” above.	No – remove the parameter; there is no change-polling mechanism to switch to.
invalid_request	400	POST /v1/orders’s request body failed validation – malformed JSON, a missing or malformed field, an unknown key, or a body-level rule such as partnerLineId uniqueness or a misplaced shipTo – or GET /v1/orders/submissions’s status/limit filter is malformed. detail names the exact violation.	No – fix the request.
invalid_submission_id	400	The submissionId path segment on GET /v1/orders/submissions/{submissionId} is not a well-formed UUID.	No – fix the path.
invalid_quantity	400	The quantity on POST /v1/products/{productId}/quote is missing or not a positive integer.	No – fix the request body.
invalid_shipping_quote_request	400	POST /v1/shipping/quote’s body failed validation – malformed JSON, a missing or mistyped field, an unknown key at the top level or inside shipTo, or a weightOunces outside 0 < w <= 5000000. detail names the field.	No – fix the request body.
invalid_item_number	400	The itemNumber path segment on a proof route is not a positive integer. It is the line’s itemNumber from GET /v1/orders/{orderNumber}/items, never a Collaterate internal id.	No – fix the path.
invalid_token	401	The credential is missing, expired, or invalid.	No – mint a new token, retry once, then investigate the credential.
insufficient_scope	403	The token lacks the scope required for this operation.	No – mint a token with the required scope.
order_not_found	404	No such order, or one that exists outside your granted sites (see above).	No.
order_item_not_found	404	No line matching (orderNumber, itemNumber) resolves for you – absent, outside your granted sites, or hidden from the customer, identically.	No.
product_not_found	404	No such product, or one that exists but belongs to a site outside your granted sites (same rule as order_not_found).	No.
quote_product_not_found	404	The product resolved in our own catalog but Collaterate could not price it. Rare.	No.
template_not_found	404	GET /v1/products/{productId}/template found no Chili template for this product – not TEMPLATE-classified, TEMPLATE-classified with a legacy EDOC/CANVA vendor, or Chili-templated with no document configured. All three identically.	No.
submission_not_found	404	No submission exists with this id for your credential – whether it never existed or belongs to another partner, identically.	No.
ordering_not_provisioned	409	POST /v1/orders’s siteId has no ordering user configured. This is set up per (partner, site) by staff at onboarding; a partner cannot provision it themselves.	No – ask Partner Integrations to provision an ordering user for the site, then retry.
partner_order_id_reused	409	POST /v1/orders’s partnerOrderId was already used, with a request body that does not match this one. Resending the identical body under the same partnerOrderId is safe and returns the original submission (see the operation description); reusing it for a materially different order is rejected instead of silently creating a second order.	No – use a new partnerOrderId, or resend the exact original body to poll the existing submission.
proof_not_pending_review	409	A proof approve or decline was sent for a line whose proofStatus is not PENDING_REVIEW – no proof yet, already decided, or a state this API does not recognise. detail says which. On a RETRY of a decision that already succeeded, this is the expected answer and means success.	No – read the line’s current proofStatus from GET /v1/orders/{orderNumber}/items.
order_item_cancelled	409	A proof approve or decline was sent for a cancelled line. It will never be produced, so its proof cannot be decided.	No.

partner_order_id_reused	409	POST /v1/orders’s partnerOrderId was already used, with a request body that does not match this one. Resending the identical body under the same partnerOrderId is safe and returns the original submission (see the operation description); reusing it for a materially different order is rejected instead of silently creating a second order.	No – use a new partnerOrderId, or resend the exact original body to poll the existing submission.
proof_not_pending_review	409	A proof approve or decline was sent for a line whose proofStatus is not PENDING_REVIEW – no proof yet, already decided, or a state this API does not recognise. detail says which. On a RETRY of a decision that already succeeded, this is the expected answer and means success.	No – read the line’s current proofStatus from GET /v1/orders/{orderNumber}/items.
order_item_cancelled	409	A proof approve or decline was sent for a cancelled line. It will never be produced, so its proof cannot be decided.	No.
quote_invalid	422	Collaterate rejected the quote on business-validation grounds (e.g. quantity over the product’s configured maximum). detail carries Collaterate’s own validation message.	No – fix the request body (e.g. reduce quantity).
unknown_country_code	422	POST /v1/shipping/quote’s shipTo.country is not a country code Collaterate recognises.	No – send a code Collaterate carries (US, CA, MX, …).
unknown_state_code	422	POST /v1/shipping/quote’s shipTo.state is not a state or province of the country you sent. State codes are resolved WITHIN the country, since they are not unique across countries.	No – fix the state, or the country it belongs to.
shipping_quote_unavailable	422	POST /v1/shipping/quote produced no priced service at all for that destination and weight. detail carries Collaterate’s own reasons when it gave any – an invalid postal code for the country is the common one – and says so plainly when it did not.	No – fix the destination. An empty result is never returned as a 200.
denial_reason_not_available	422	POST .../proof/decline’s reason is well-formed but is not a denial reason this line’s proof offers – including a code that is valid on a different line, and UNKNOWN, which never is. detail lists what is valid here.	No – pick a code from GET .../proof/denial-reasons for this line.
rate_limit_exceeded	429	Rate limit or daily quota exceeded.	Yes – honor Retry-After.
internal_error	500	Unexpected server-side failure. Detail is always the fixed string below, never the underlying error.	No, or with caution – if persistent, contact Partner Integrations.
service_unavailable	503	Transient failure – typically the database path, but also a Lambda that crashed, timed out, or hit its own concurrency limit before any handler ran.	Yes, with backoff.

Three statuses are answered by the API gateway before your request reaches application code: 401 (authorizer denial), 429 (usage-plan throttle), and 503 (the Lambda integration itself failed). All three are configured to return this same document with the codes above, so one parser and one branch on code covers every error this API produces. The 403 on GET /v1/ping is the sole exception anywhere in the API – it comes from the edge firewall, which is not ours to shape, and carries no problem document.
