root_key_required

This endpoint accepts only a root key or an account session.

What to do

Key management is a root-key power. Mint a root key from an account session with POST /dashboard/api_keys \{"name": "…", "root": true\}; it comes back as sk_live_root_… / sk_test_root_… and is the credential POST /v1/api_keys takes.

The envelope

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.
