validation_error

The request does not match the expected schema (missing field, wrong type, or invalid value).

When it happens​

The body, query parameters, or headers fail input validation. This includes one case that surprises many clients: a parameter we do not recognise is rejected, not ignored. Send a misspelled or retired parameter name and you get a 400 rather than a silently unfiltered response — deliberate on a money API, where an ignored filter returns the wrong answer without telling you.

How to resolve it​

Read detail (every failure, joined with ; ) and the errors array, which carries the same messages one per entry for programmatic handling. They name the exact field: property asset should not exist means that parameter does not exist — check its name in the endpoint reference. Do not retry without changing the request.

Example​

{
  "type": "https://docs.skipo.com/errors/validation_error",
  "title": "Validation error",
  "status": 400,
  "code": "validation_error",
  "retryable": false,
  "detail": "property asset should not exist; assetSymbol must be a valid asset symbol"
}
