API Reference

API keys

Traces authenticates your API requests using your account’s API keys. Making an API request that doesn't include your key, includes incorrect or outdated key returns an error. If you don’t have a valid API Key contact your Traces Account Manager.

Test and Prod Keys

There are separate keys for testing and production workloads. All data submitted with a Test API key is removed automatically within 5 days and can not be restored. Auto Training Pipeline is not initiated with Test API calls. Use test API keys during the development and Prod API keys from production workloads.

Keeping your API keys safe

Your API key can be used to make any API call on behalf of your account.

• Keep your API key as secure as any other password.

• Keep your API key out of your version control system.

• Share your API key only with those who need it.

• Use secret management services and password managers

Should you think your API key has been compromised, contact your Traces Account Manager immediately.

HTTP response codes

Traces uses conventional HTTP response codes to indicate the success or failure of an API request.

Codes in the 2xx range indicate success.

Codes in the 4xx range indicate an error that failed given the information provided.

Codes in the 5xx range indicate an error with the computation cluster.

200	OK	Everything worked as expected
400	Bad Request	The request was unacceptable, often due to missing a required parameter.
401	Unauthorized	The parameters were valid but the request failed.
402	Request Failed	The API key doesn't have permission to perform the request.
403	Forbidden	The API key doesn't have permission to perform the request.
404	Not Found	The requested resource doesn't exist.
429	Too Many Requests	Too many requests hit the API too quickly. We recommend an exponential backoff of your requests.
