This is a list of HTTP status codes returned from the API. If you use an API client library, refer to the error handling section of the particular client library documentation to learn how to receive the status code.
If you are troubleshooting an issue, you can enable logging of conversion details with the setDebugLog() API method. When enabled, the logs are available in your conversion log.
