Errors - APIAny.AI Docs

Each chat endpoint returns errors in the same shape as the API standard it is compatible with (OpenAI, Anthropic, or Gemini). Every error response also includes an X-Request-Id header, and returns only the information you need to debug your request.

OpenAI — `/v1/chat/completions` (and image/video endpoints)

{
  "error": {
    "message": "Insufficient credits",
    "type": "insufficient_quota",
    "code": "insufficient_credits",
    "param": null
  }
}

Anthropic — `/v1/messages`

{
  "type": "error",
  "error": {
    "type": "authentication_error",
    "message": "Invalid API key"
  }
}

Gemini — `/v1beta/models/{model}:generateContent`

{
  "error": {
    "code": 400,
    "message": "model is required",
    "status": "INVALID_ARGUMENT"
  }
}

Status mapping

The error type / status is derived from the HTTP status:

HTTP	OpenAI `type`	Anthropic `type`	Gemini `status`
400	invalid_request_error	invalid_request_error	INVALID_ARGUMENT
401	authentication_error	authentication_error	UNAUTHENTICATED
403	permission_error	permission_error	PERMISSION_DENIED
404	not_found_error	not_found_error	NOT_FOUND
402	insufficient_quota	invalid_request_error	RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED
429	rate_limit_error	rate_limit_error	RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED
5xx	api_error	api_error / overloaded_error	SERVER_ERROR / UNAVAILABLE

Minor-sensitive media prompts

Image and video requests are rejected with HTTP 400 and code content_policy when a prompt clearly combines a minor with exposure or emphasis of sensitive body areas, or with explicit sexual or nudity content. This check happens before task creation and credit reservation, so no credits are charged.

{
  "error": {
    "message": "Requests involving minors and exposure or emphasis of sensitive body areas are not allowed. Use an adult subject (18+), remove sensitive-body close-ups, and keep the subject fully clothed. No credits were charged.",
    "type": "invalid_request_error",
    "code": "content_policy",
    "param": null
  }
}

Ordinary child-safe scenes such as family, classroom, sports, and art prompts are not blocked by this targeted preflight rule. Requests that pass preflight remain subject to each model’s general safety policy.
