    Invalid API token.

    {
  "error": "useapi.net ⁝ Unauthorized",
  "code": 401

  • 403 Forbidden

    The source id was issued to a different API token.

    {
  "error": "user:[email protected]:d02c903b-17f8-4241-a263-2be9e7359d55:9df5b3d2-0afd-4ea7-9c20-e42c4af17d46 does not belong to this API token",
  "code": 403
}

  • 404 Not Found

    The account named in the source id is no longer configured, or Google reports the source or its notebook as not found.

    {
  "error": "Account [email protected] of user:[email protected]:d02c903b-17f8-4241-a263-2be9e7359d55:9df5b3d2-0afd-4ea7-9c20-e42c4af17d46 is not configured",
  "code": 404
}

  • 596 Account Error

    Google reported the account as signed out. While we re-check it, the answer is the first message below. Retry in about a minute. If it stays signed out, the account is paused, you receive an email, and the answer becomes the second message until you re-add it via Setup Gemini Notebook.

    {
  "error": "Google reported this account as signed out. We are re-checking it — please retry in about a minute. If it stays signed out, you will receive a re-add email.",
  "code": 596
}

    {
  "error": "Account [email protected]: Google signed this account out. Re-add it at https://useapi.net/docs/start-here/setup-gemini-notebook",
  "code": 596
}

  • 503 Service Unavailable

    Google is temporarily unavailable or is challenging our network. Retry in a few minutes. A 502 means Google answered with an unexpected error.

    {
  "error": "Google is temporarily unavailable (tGMBJ grpc 14), please retry",
  "code": 503
}
