Question

Why do error codes differ across the APIs? For example, Get Transactions has both 404 Unavailable Banking Account and 404 Invalid Banking Account.

Answer

The error code depends in part on the way the resource is requested. For the bulk APIs that use a POST, the 404 Not Found error is not the applicable status code, because the resource is not presented in the URL. Error code 422 is used for bulk APIs via POST, where the requested resource cannot be found or returned. The CDR error code is the same in both instances.
