invalid_request

The request was malformed in some way; an invalid parameter value was used, a parameter was repeated, the format did not parse, or some other such error.

Explanation

The server detected an error with the request. The server will provide additional detail in the error_description field.

Remediation

This error is widely used throughout the service, so the error_description is the best way to correct the error.

Common reasons this error occurs are:

  • the request could not be parsed; most endpoints expect an application/x-www-form-urlencoded form
  • the form data did not include all required fields
  • the form data supplied an incorrect or invalid value for a field
  • the resource is in a state for which the request is not valid
