Errors

Error responses, HTTP status codes and every error code, with the errors integrators hit most often.

Both Eliq APIs report errors the same way: an HTTP status plus a JSON body with a stable code. Branch on code, not on description, which can change. The most common errors below come from what integrators actually hit in production.

Error response

The Data Management API returns code, description and request_id. The Insights API returns code and description.

{
  "code": "LOCATION_NOT_FOUND",
  "description": "Location with given id could not be found",
  "request_id": "733d3cf1-8cd6-4f0b-90b8-605b7e965464"
}

HTTP status codes

HTTP	Meaning	What to do	Retry
400	The request is invalid. The `code` says what is wrong.	Fix the request. Sending it again fails the same way.	No
401	The token is missing, has expired, or was issued for another API.	Get a new token with the right `aud`, then retry once.	Once, with a new token
403	The token is valid but not allowed to do this.	Check the token scopes with Eliq.	No
404	The resource does not exist.	Check the id, or create the resource first.	No
409	The request conflicts with the current state.	Read the resource, then try again.	After reading
429	Too many requests.	Slow down and retry with exponential backoff. For bulk loads, use Jobs.	Yes, with backoff
500	Something failed on Eliq’s side.	Retry with backoff. If it persists, contact Eliq with the `request_id`.	Yes, with backoff
502, 503, 504	Eliq is briefly unavailable.	Retry with backoff.	Yes, with backoff

Most common errors

These are the errors integrators run into most often in production, most frequent first. Most of them are avoided by caching reads, refreshing tokens in time, and only sending data that has changed.

Request	HTTP	Codes	What to do
`PUT /integration/api/v1/meters/{meter_id}`	400	`METER_FUEL_CANNOT_BE_UPDATED`, `METER_TYPE_CANNOT_BE_UPDATED`, `METER_CANNOT_BE_MOVED`, `METER_MODEL_INVALID`	Fuel, type and location cannot change on an existing meter. Send a meter only when it changes, not on every sync.
`GET /v3/locations/{location_id}/euc`	400	Energy Usage Categories codes	The location lacks data or profile answers. See Data requirements, and cache the result instead of asking on every view.
`GET /v3/users/{user_id}, /v3/clients, /v3/locations`	401	none	The user token has expired. Refresh it before the next call.
`GET /v3/locations/{location_id}/advice`	429	`TOO_MANY_REQUESTS`	Back off. Advice changes slowly, so cache it.
`POST /integration/api/v1/meters/{meter_id}/energy/highres/{resolution}`	429	`TOO_MANY_REQUESTS`	Send fewer, larger uploads, or use Jobs for bulk loads.
`GET /v3/locations/{location_id}/similarhomes (also /report and /consumption)`	400	Similar Homes codes	The home profile is too thin, or there are too few comparable homes for the period.
`GET /v3/locations/{location_id}/homeprofile/image`	404	none	No image is stored. Treat it as empty.
`GET /v3/locations/{location_id}/marketprice/prices`	404	none	No prices for the location. Check that `spot_price_region_id` is set.
`POST /integration/api/v1/meters/{meter_id}/priceformulas`	429 and 400	`TOO_MANY_REQUESTS` and price formula codes	Post a formula only when the tariff changes.
`GET /v3/locations/{location_id}/euc`	500	`INTERNAL_ERROR`	Retry later with backoff.

Retries and support

Retry only 429 and 5xx responses, with exponential backoff and a cap.
Never retry a 400 or 404 unchanged; fix the request first.
On 401, get a new token once, then retry once.
When you contact Eliq about an error, include the request_id, the time and the endpoint.
