Errors & common questions

Common errors

You see	What it means	What to do
401 unauthorized	The API key is missing, malformed, expired, or revoked.	Check the `Authorization: Bearer` header and that the key is live. If it leaked, revoke and replace it.
403 forbidden	The key is valid but missing the scope the action needs.	Mint a key with the right scope rather than over-provisioning one. `whoami` shows a key’s scopes.
404 not found	The resource doesn’t exist, or isn’t visible to your organization.	Cross-organization resources return `404`, not `403` — we don’t confirm things you can’t see.
409 endpoint paused	An API call targets a paused endpoint.	Resume the endpoint, or wait, then retry.
429 rate limited (API)	Your API requests were throttled.	Back off and retry. See rate limits.
429 at your ingest URL	Your endpoint is paused, so ingest answers a retryable `429`.	Resume the endpoint or raise your usage limit; the retryable `429` is what makes the provider redeliver.
A delivery is `blocked`	The destination resolved to a private/internal address.	Point it at a public HTTPS URL. See delivery failures.

Common questions

I think my API key leaked. What now?

Revoke it immediately and mint a replacement — nothing else can use the old one once it’s revoked. Full steps: a leaked API key.

Can I get my events back after I delete them?

No. Deleting an event redacts and purges it — there’s no recovery. It also doesn’t lower your usage (the event was already counted). See your data & privacy.

Does replaying an event cost me?

Replaying to your own machine (wbhk listen / wbhk replay) costs nothing. A replay that forwards to a destination is a delivery, and that counts. See events & usage.

How do I know something's wrong on my side?

Every error response carries a request id in the x-request-id header — include it when you reach out, and it helps us trace exactly what happened.
