Errors worth branching on

These five failures cover the status POST (POST /api/v1/status-page/updates), which every incident flow fires. Each block below is a full { error, meta } envelope as the API returns it, and the matrix at the bottom answers retry vs surface for the same five classes. For the platform-wide decision table these branches plug into, see the error handling guide.

401 — Unauthorized

  {
    "error": {
      "code": "UNAUTHORIZED",
      "message": "The API key is invalid, expired, or lacks the required scope.",
      "status": 401
    },
    "meta": {
      "request_id": "req_statuspaa1",
      "timestamp": "2026-09-03T12:00:00Z"
    }
  }

A 401 on this page is the bearer key failing before the route ran — it never means the resource is wrong. Rotate the key or re-mint the scoped token; retrying the same request changes nothing.

403 — Forbidden

  {
    "error": {
      "code": "FORBIDDEN",
      "message": "The key is valid but does not have the scope this operation requires.",
      "status": 403
    },
    "meta": {
      "request_id": "req_statuspaa1f",
      "timestamp": "2026-09-03T12:00:00Z"
    }
  }

A 403 means the key authenticated but the operation is gated by scope — check the key’s scopes on the developer page; a 403 is never a data-not-found shape.

422 — Schema

  {
    "error": {
      "code": "VALIDATION_ERROR",
      "message": "The request failed input validation.",
      "status": 422,
      "details": { "field": "state", "value": "glitch", "expected": "one of operational, degraded, partial_outage, major_outage" }
    },
    "meta": {
      "request_id": "req_statuspab2",
      "timestamp": "2026-09-03T12:00:00Z"
    }
  }

A 422 means the payload did not match the request schema — branch on error.details.field and resend with an allowed state value instead of blind-retrying the same body.

429 — Rate

  {
    "error": {
      "code": "RATE_LIMITED",
      "message": "Too many requests in the current window.",
      "status": 429,
      "details": { "retry_after": 12 }
    },
    "meta": {
      "request_id": "req_statuspac3",
      "timestamp": "2026-09-03T12:00:00Z",
      "docs_url": "https://docs.orbit.devotel.io/errors/RATE_LIMITED"
    }
  }

The Retry-After header and error.details.retry_after are both set on every 429 — resend the SAME request after the lower of the two.

404 — Not found

  {
    "error": {
      "code": "STATUS_PAGE_COMPONENT_UNKNOWN",
      "message": "The component id referenced does not exist on the published status page.",
      "status": 404,
      "details": { "component_id": "cmp_0192" }
    },
    "meta": {
      "request_id": "req_statuspad4",
      "timestamp": "2026-09-03T12:00:00Z"
    }
  }

List components first and bind ids on the current page config — a stale id never resolves.

60-second retry matrix

Class	Meaning	Branch response
401 `UNAUTHORIZED`	the bearer key itself fails	Surface. Rotate the key or re-mint the scoped token; do not retry the same request.
403 `FORBIDDEN`	the key lacks this operation’s scope	Surface. Fix the key’s scope set; a retry with the same key never heals it.
422 `VALIDATION_ERROR`	the payload does not match the schema	Fix, then resend intentionally. Branch on `error.details.field`; a blind retry repeats the same 422.
429 `RATE_LIMITED`	the window quota is exhausted	Retry after `error.details.retry_after` (or the `Retry-After` header) with the same request body.
`STATUS_PAGE_COMPONENT_UNKNOWN` (404 not found)	List components first and bind ids on the current page config	Branch on `error.code`. A stale id never resolves.

List public status-page incidents

GET /api/v1/public/incidents

Returns the platform’s public status-page incidents over a look-back window (default 90 days; days query 1-365), newest first. Optionally filter by component or status. Each incident carries its title, body, status, impact, affected components, and timeline timestamps. Unauthenticated and edge-cached — use it to render a status page or an uptime widget.

Get a public status-page incident

GET /api/v1/public/incidents/{id}

Returns a single public status-page incident by id together with its most recent status-update timeline (newest first): the title, body, status, impact, affected components, and timeline timestamps. Unauthenticated and edge-cached — use it to render an incident detail page. An unknown id returns 404.

Confirm a status-page email subscription

GET /api/v1/public/statuspage/subscribers/confirm/{token}

Finalises the double-opt-in flow: the visitor opens the confirmation link from the subscribe email, flipping their subscription to confirmed so future incidents notify them. Idempotent — an already-confirmed or unknown token still returns a success envelope. Unauthenticated.
