Error codes

The Lamplight API will return error codes in the following circumstances. In some cases, the response message will include additional information about the error to help you resolve it.

1001

"Role of person not recognised" The role parameter was invalid. May be returned to person or organisation requests.

1002

"Person of type requested is not publishable" Either the global publishing settings do not allow publishing of this type of person/organisation, or the particular one being requested is not published.

1003

"Only people or organisations may be requested" Internal error.

1004

"Method not recognised: should be one of all, some or one": your uri is incorrect.

1005

"Method all not permitted with work records"

1006

"Work records are not publishable" Either the global publishing settings do not allow publishing of work records, or the particular one being requested is not published.

1007

"An unknown error occurred. It is likely an unpublished record was requested". The most likely situation that this error will be returned is if a non-existent, or non-published record is requested (perhaps by manually changing an ID value).

1008

Workareas can only use method all

1020

"The data in module for work records is not enabled". The datain functionality is not available with your current Lamplight subscription. Please contact us to enable it.

1021

"No valid work record id was passed to attend". The id parameter should be an integer, returned by Lamplight.

1022

"The attendee did not pass a valid identifier". The email address provided is not valid.

1023

"The record may not be added to". Work records in Lamplight need to have the 'allow attendees to be added via the API' checkbox selected.

1024

"The attendee could not be unambiguously identified in the database". This means that they either are not there at at all, or appear more than once. A message will be created within Lamplight for the system administrator, providing details.

1025

"There are no spaces available on the record requested". If set, the maximum number of attendees has been reached and no more people can be added to the record. A message will be created within Lamplight for the system administrator, providing details.

1026

"This attendee is already attending the record requested". They are already listed.

1027

"This type of record (work etc) may not be accessed through the API". You are trying to add someone to a record of a type that has been denied access - your system administrator will need to set this in the datain section of the admin menu.
