[arin-tech-discuss] ARIN Error Code 401 meaning?

[David Huberman]

Hello Aaron,

Improved documentation of the RESTful API is actively being worked on by
ARIN staff.  We will work to ensure an explanation of common error codes
is included in that documentation.

Regards,
David

Yup, thanks.

Is there a place where ALL API codes are documented? It would be really
nice if I could return something human readable to my user base. :)

Cheers,
