Common Error Scenarios

​

400 Bad Request

• Invalid parameters: Missing required fields, invalid formats
• Unsupported combinations: Token/currency pairs not supported
• Amount validation: Amounts outside provider limits
• Provider issues: Provider not found or misconfigured

​

503 Service Unavailable

​

Handling Service Unavailability

When you receive a 503 error:

1. Check request parameters: Verify token, amount, and currency combinations
2. Try different amounts: Some providers have minimum/maximum limits
3. Retry later: Provider availability may change over time
4. Contact support: If the issue persists, reach out to our team
