# Error Handling

Understand how errors are handled within the Game Server API.

Errors are JSON format and are based around the standard HTTP status codes.

For example when an invalid secret key is provided the HTTP status code `403 Forbidden` will be returned along with a JSON body containing further information.

The `error_message` object will always be user friendly and should be shown directly to the client.
