# Standard Error Format

If an error is returned by the API it will normally be in this format.

{% hint style="info" %}
If an error is not in this format it is likely something has gone wrong on our end. We're setup to automatically catch `500` errors but if you think you can give us some more info feel free to email us at <support@tistraining.com>
{% endhint %}
