Type mismatch

Problem type

type-mismatch

Status code

400 Bad Request

Reasons

Indicates that the value for a parameter has a different type than expected.

A common cause is a request with an id parameter for which the name of the resource was provided instead of the ID. The expected type in this case is integer while the actual type is string. This response also occurs when a request with a date parameter was provided, but the given date was not formatted properly.

Remedy

Check if you provided the correct type for all request parameters (i.e. query parameters). The error detail outlines which parameter caused the error.
