API Status Codes

The success or failure of an API request is conveyed by the code and message in its response. The following table lists all the codes corresponding to Zoho Creator's REST APIs.

HTTP Status Code	HTTP Status	Code	Message	Description
200	OK	4000	Account's Developer API limit has been reached. Please upgrade to execute more REST API calls.	The Zoho Creator subscription dictates the number of REST API requests that can be made per day. You'll have to check the Creator account's usage details and either upgrade its Developer API limit or wait a day to make the next API request.
200	OK	3970	A maximum of 200 records can be fetched per request.	The get records API can fetch up to 200 records per request. You'll have to use the from parameter in your requests to fetch records 1-200, 201-400, and so on.
200	OK	3960	A maximum of 200 records can be processed per request. Include the "process_until_limit" parameter to process the first 200 records.	A maximum of 200 records can be updated or deleted per request. Including process_until_limit=true in the update records and delete records API requests tells the request server to perform the update or delete operation for the first 200 records that match the given criteria. You'll have to loop your API requests until the more_records key in the response is returned as false.
200	OK	3950	A maximum of 200 records can be added per request.	The add records API can add up to 200 records per request. You'll get this error when the number of JSON objects in the request body exceeds 200. We recommend breaking down your input accordingly.
200	OK	3930	No reports available.	The target application does not have any reports.
200	OK	3920	No pages available.	The target application does not have any pages.
200	OK	3910	No forms available.	The target application does not have any forms.
200	OK	3830	You do not have permission to transfer files to/from the field "<FIELD_NAME>". Please check with the application admin.	The requesting user does not have permission to upload a file to the target file upload, image, audio, video or signature field since they don't have permission to add/update records in that form.
200	OK	3780	No subform named "<LINK_NAME"> found. Please check and try again.	The target form does not contain a subform with the given link name. You need to check the target form and use the correct field's link name in the API request.
200	OK	3750	"<LINK_NAME>" is not a file type field. Please check and try again.	The field link name given in the request does not belong to a file upload, image, audio, video or signature field in the target report. You need to check the corresponding form and use the correct field's link name in the API request.
200	OK	3730	No file found in the record with ID "<RECORD_ID>".	Either there's no file in the target file upload, image, audio, video, or signature field, or it contains a file of size 0 KB.
200	OK	3710	No field named "<LINK_NAME>" found. Please check and try again.	No field named "<LINK_NAME>" found. Please check and try again.
200	OK	3660	No file found in the request. Please include a file and try again.	The upload file API request does not have a file in it. An input file is required to perform the upload operation.
200	OK	3630	Input file exceeds the 50 MB limit. Please upload a smaller file.	The file upload field can accept a file that doesn't exceed 50 MB. The upload file API request will fail so when the input file exceeds this limit.
200	OK	3190	No record with ID "<RECORD_ID>" found.	There is no record in the target form with the given record ID.
200	OK	3120	For the lookup field: Data type mismatch. Value for the "<FIELD_NAME>" field must be of type INTEGER. For the drop down field: Data type mismatch. Value for the "<FIELD_NAME>" field must be of type STRING.	If the target field is of type lookup, then you've not passed it an integer value. If the target field is of type drop down, then you've not passed it a text or string value.
404	NOT FOUND	3100	No records found for the given criteria.	There are no records in the target form/report that match the given search criteria. You may search using different criteria if required.
404	NOT FOUND	3090	When no criteria is passed: Criteria is required to perform this action. When an invalid criteria is passed: Invalid criteria specified. When a field's link name, that used in the criteria, is incorrect: Criteria refers to an invalid field named "<FIELD_NAME>".	This concerns the API requests that allow a criteria to be passed so as to perform the required operation on select records. Either the request requires a criteria and one hasn't been given, or the criteria is invalid, or the link name of one of the fields used in the criteria is incorrect.
200	OK	3070	Data validation failure: "[ARRAY]"	This concerns the add and update record API requests. The add or update operation will be performed only when the input passes the data validations in place for the target form. The array will list the validations that the input data failed. You may refer to the "Data validations in Creator" section of the API documents.
200	OK	3060	Account's record limit has been reached. Please upgrade to add more data.	The Zoho Creator subscription dictates the total number of records that can be stored in the account. Unless you upgrade, further record creation won't be permitted. You can check the Creator account's usage details to view the limit.
200	OK	3050	Passing values for Formula, File Upload and Image type fields is not allowed. Use the Upload File API to update the File Upload and Image fields.	The add and update record APIs cannot assign a value for the formula, file upload, and image fields. The formula field's value is evaluated as per its expression and you must use the upload file API to upload a file to the file upload and image fields.
400	NOT FOUND	3030	API request's body is not properly formed.	The API request's body does not include a proper JSON input.
400	NOT FOUND	3020	API request's body is either missing or incomplete.	The API request's body content is missing.
403	FORBIDDEN	3002	The "<FEATURE_NAME>" feature is currently not available for this Zoho Creator account. Please contact support@zohocreator.com to learn more.	This error will occur when the requesting user is trying to perform an operation that is beyond the Creator account's subscription. Please refer to the pricing page for feature availability.

If you want to give the requesting user this permission, you must either enable it in their permission set or you must assign them another permission set where the API access permission is enabled.

429	Too Many Requests	2955	You have reached your API call limit for a minute. Please try again after sometime.	The threshold limit for all v2.1 APIs is set at 50 calls/min. When the specified per min limit is reached, this error response will be displayed.
200	OK	9030	API looping to same component exceeded the specified limit of 1.	This concerns the incorrect usage of API calls to add data in the same form in the application. Assume Form A triggers a workflow and uses an API call on successful form submission to add another record to the same form. This cycle continues, allowing the workflow to run repeatedly in a loop, with data getting added to the same form endlessly. As a measure to stop this looping and avoid the subsequent performance dip, workflow execution will be limited to one loop, for actions that add records to the same form. That is, the workflow will only be triggered once. For repetitive workflow actions, or if there is a need for multiple actions, users should create functions and use them wherever required. This will avoid the need for unnecessary API requests. Please contact us at support@zohocreator.com.
200	OK	9040	API looping to other component exceeded the specified limit of 3.	This concerns the incorrect usage of API calls to add data between different forms in the same application. There are two related forms—A and B. On successful submission of Form A, an API call is used to add a record in Form B, which in turn hits another API call, submitting another record in Form A and continuing the same pattern, adding records in both the forms over and over again. As a measure to stop this looping, workflow execution will be limited to three loops for actions that add records to other forms. That is, the workflow will be triggered thrice, allowing records to be added in three forms, after which it will cease to trigger. For repetitive workflow actions, or if there is a need for multiple actions, users should create functions and use them wherever required. This will avoid the need for unnecessary API requests.
