# Errors

Obiguard uses conventional response codes to indicate the success or failure of an API request. In general: Codes in the `2xx` range indicate success. Codes in the `4xx` range indicate an error that failed given the information provided. Codes in the `5xx` range indicate an error with Obiguard’s servers (these are rare).

## Common Errors

During request processing, you may encounter error codes from either Obiguard or the LLM provider:
