Errors

Error statuses of DELETE /plans/{id}/lines/{line_id}
StatusWhen
400A parameter is not valid: details.problems names each field and what it accepts.
401No API key, an unknown one, or a revoked one.
403The key lacks the scope, or the mandate refuses (mandate_refused, with the limit and how much over).
404No plan, line or creator of yours has that id.
409conflict (with a reason), idempotency_conflict, or in_progress (Retry-After).
422unprocessable: the body is readable but a value cannot be used (a blank or too long name, a campaign that cannot be planned yet); details.problems names each field when there are several.
429Too many requests for this key in the current minute (60); Retry-After and RateLimit-Reset say when to try again. On POST /campaigns and on POST /plans/current/lines when it starts a plan: the brand's 3 new campaigns in 24 hours are used (details.reason daily_campaign_limit); details.resets_at and Retry-After say when the limit reopens, a rolling 24 hours from the first of them, not a calendar day; archiving or deleting a campaign does not give its slot back. On GET /creators and GET /creators/{id}: a creator read limit is used (details.reason per_minute, daily_lists, daily_reveals, daily_seen or locked). daily_seen is your workspace's one pool of 300 creator views a day (300 different creators shown or opened since midnight UTC), shared by the app and every API key of the brand: details.scope workspace and details.limit 300; a creator already seen today, in the app or through any key, still opens and costs nothing. daily_lists is the day's list calls (each GET /creators page or creators_search is one; details.limit, 60): it is counted apart from creator views, resets at midnight UTC, and Retry-After says when. daily_reveals is the day's creator profiles opened (details.limit, 60). The other reasons are this key's own limit (details.scope key) or the brand's ceiling over all its keys (details.scope api).
500internal: the request failed on our side. Retry it with the same Idempotency-Key.
503unavailable: writes are not available right now (for an approval: payments are not open yet).
