422

Upstream Rejected The Request

Kwai rejected the request body as malformed. Retrying will not change the outcome, so the request is sent once and is not billed.

{
    "meta": {
        "attempts": 1,
        "billable": false,
        "retryable": false,
        "duration_ms": 1120
    },
    "error": {
        "code": "INVALID_PARAMETER",
        "message": "Kwai could not process this request. Retrying will not change the outcome.",
        "http_status": 422,
        "failure_type": "invalid_parameter_format"
    },
    "success": false
}

422

            "The Kwai handle is required."
        ]
    },
