Errors
Every error code of the API: errorId, errorCode, what it means and what to do.
Цей розділ показано англійською.
Every answer is HTTP 200 with errorId. 0 means success; otherwise there are errorCode and a human-readable errorDescription:
{
"errorId": 1,
"errorCode": "ERROR_KEY_DOES_NOT_EXIST",
"errorDescription": "Account authorization key not found in the system."
}- Check
errorId != 0, not the HTTP status. - Branch on

ERROR_INTERNAL(90) — nevererrorId: 0. - A failed task is not charged. 2Captcha names of the codes: 2Captcha compatibility.
