#2Errors are often not given the attention that they deserve in APIs. In this post we take a look at API errors and what makes a good error response. I'd love to hear HN's thoughts on what makes a good API error (and what makes a bad one)!

generally in APIs, you described errors returned by REST applications. For
example, your post is completely useless for people writing libraries.
