Errors are often not given the attention that they deserve in APIs. In this post we take a look at API errors and what makes a good error response. I'd love to hear HN's thoughts on what makes a good API error (and what makes a bad one)!

A lot of research went into this post. It should help clear up a fair amount for website owners - especially those using GoSquared. As the cookies are only Category 2, compliance is relatively easy compared to other services where there may well have to be a notice for the user to opt-in to the cookies.

Fantastic post, I recommend printing this out and putting it right next to your monitor so it's always there to remind you.
