| Type | authentication_error — Credential missing, revoked or malformed |
| HTTP | 401 |
| Retriable? | No |
What to do
Revocation is immediate and unrecoverable. Mint a new key.
Retrying the same request will fail the same way. Change the request, not the frequency.
The envelope
{
"error": {
"type": "authentication_error",
"code": "invalid_api_key",
"message": "…",
"hint": "Revocation is immediate and unrecoverable. Mint a new key.",
"retriable": false,
"doc_url": "https://docs.facturia.cl/errors/invalid_api_key",
"request_id": "req_01K2R7Q9M4T2VB"
}
}Program against code, never against message — the prose can be rewritten, the code cannot (§5.8).
hint and retriable arrive in the response with these exact values: they are a function of code and come from the same dictionary GET /v1/error_codes serves, so the envelope and the dictionary cannot disagree. Both are English on the wire by design — one registry, one language. More in The error envelope.
