Error Source
============
For the most part, error messages will come directly from the database with the same `structure that PostgreSQL uses <https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/error-style-guide.html>`_. PostgREST will convert the ``MESSAGE``, ``DETAIL``, ``HINT`` and ``ERRCODE`` from the PostgreSQL error to JSON format and add an HTTP status code to the response (see :ref:`status_codes`). For instance, this is the error you will get when querying a nonexistent table:
.. code-block:: http
GET /nonexistent_table?id=eq.1 HTTP/1.1
.. code-block:: http
HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found
Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8
.. code-block:: json
{
"hint": null,
"details": null,
"code": "42P01",
"message": "relation \"api.nonexistent_table\" does not exist"
}
However, some errors do come from PostgREST itself (such as those related to the :ref:`schema_cache`). These have the same structure as the PostgreSQL errors but are differentiated by the ``PGRST`` prefix in the ``code`` field (see :ref:`pgrst_errors`). For instance, when querying a function that does not exist, the error will be:
.. code-block:: http
POST /rpc/nonexistent_function HTTP/1.1
.. code-block:: http
HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found
Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8
.. code-block:: json
{
"hint": "If a new function was created in the database with this name and parameters, try reloading the schema cache.",
"details": null
"code": "PGRST202",
"message": "Could not find the api.nonexistent_function() function in the schema cache"
}
.. _status_codes:
HTTP Status Codes
=================
PostgREST translates `PostgreSQL error codes <https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/errcodes-appendix.html>`_ into HTTP status as follows:

PostgREST Error Codes
=====================
PostgREST error codes have the form ``PGRSTgxx``, where ``PGRST`` is the prefix that differentiates the error from a PostgreSQL error, ``g`` is the group where the error belongs and ``xx`` is the number that identifies the error in the group.
