Error Codes and Meanings:

The API utilizes standard HTTP status codes and custom error codes to communicate the nature of the error encountered. Here's a breakdown of some common error codes you might encounter:

• 400 Bad Request: This indicates a problem with your request formatting, missing required parameters, or invalid data.

• 401 Unauthorized: Your API credentials are invalid, missing, or have insufficient permissions for the requested action.

• 403 Forbidden: Your API key may have limited access, or the requested resource may be forbidden for your account.

• 404 Not Found: The requested resource (user, course, etc.) could not be found on the platform.

• 429 Too Many Requests: You have exceeded the rate limit for your API key. Reduce your request frequency or wait for the rate limit window to reset.

• 500 Internal Server Error: An unexpected error occurred on the server side. Retry your request later.
