​
Response Format

All API responses follow a consistent, type-safe format that makes error handling straightforward.
Type Safety: When response.ok is true, the data field is guaranteed to be defined. When response.ok is false, the data field will not be defined. This pattern enables type-safe response handling.

​
Response Structure

Every API response includes an ok field that indicates success or failure: Success Response: 
{
  "ok": true,
  "code": 200,
  "message": "Success",
  "data": { ... }
}
Error Response: 
{
  "ok": false,
  "code": 400,
  "message": "Error description"
}

​
Using the Response Pattern

The ok field allows you to easily check if the request succeeded: 
const response = await client.accounts.getAccounts();

if (response.ok) {
  // Success - data is available
  console.log(response.data);
  response.data.forEach(account => {
    console.log(account.username);
  });
} else {
  // Error - handle the error
  console.error(`Error ${response.code}: ${response.message}`);
}

response = requests.post(
    'https://api.ugc.inc/accounts',
    headers={'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_API_KEY'},
    json={}
)

data = response.json()

if data['ok']:
    # Success - data is available
    print(data['data'])
else:
    # Error - handle the error
    print(f"Error {data['code']}: {data['message']}")

HTTP Status Codes

Common status codes you may encounter:
  • 200 - Success
  • 400 - Bad Request (invalid parameters)
  • 401 - Unauthorized (invalid or missing API key)
  • 404 - Not Found (resource doesn’t exist)
  • 500 - Internal Server Error
