General Errors

For most types of errors, the response body will include a description of the error in the detail key.

{
  "detail": "Something went wrong."
}

For validation errors (HTTP 400), the response body will map fields in the request to arrays of error messages.

{
  "email": ["Enter a valid email address."]
}

Error messages that aren’t associated with any specific field are mapped to the non_field_errors key.

{
  "non_field_errors": ["This object already exists."]
}
