For general errors returned by any Circle API, see [API errors](/api-reference/errors). ## Error response shape Managed Payments endpoints return errors as a flat object: ```json theme={null} { "code": 1177, "message": "The purposeOfTransfer field is missing or invalid", "errors": [] } ``` ## Common error codes | Status code | Error code | Description | | ----------- | ---------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `500` | `-1` | Circle couldn't process the request. Retry later. If it fails again, contact Circle support with the `errId`. | | `401` | `1` | The `Authorization` header is missing or malformed. Pass the API key as a `Bearer` token. | | `400` | `2` | A request field is missing or has the wrong type. Check `message` for the field name. | | `403` | `3` | The API key can't use this resource, or your entity doesn't support it. | | `401` | `4` | The API key is invalid, expired, or inactive. Check the key. | | `429` | `5` | Too many requests. Wait, then retry. | ## Create a payment intent Codes returned by `POST /v1/paymentIntents`. | Status code | Error code | Description | | ----------- | ---------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `400` | `1127` | Send one blockchain payment method.

Use a supported pair or confirm support with Circle. | | `400` | `1131` | The intent and settlement currency pair isn't supported. Use a supported pair. | | `400` | `1132` | The amount is `0`, less than `0`, or has too many decimal places. Send a valid amount. | | `400` | `1177` | `purposeOfTransfer` is missing or invalid.
