bad_request

HTTP status: 400

What the API sends

{"error":"bad_request"}

When it happens

The body is not JSON, a field has a wrong value, or the body is larger than the API accepts. Some refusals add a message:

  • Astris offers Postgres and Redis databases. Set kind to postgres or redis.
  • Name, slug, git URL, kind and source cannot be changed.
  • A schedule is only for a cron application.
  • A command is only for a worker or a cron application.

A domain for a worker or a cron app is refused with the reason not_web:

{"error":"bad_request","reason":"not_web","message":"This app does not serve a website, so it cannot have a domain."}

What to do

Read the message when there is one, correct the field, and send the request again.

What your tools show

  • The Astris CLI: Those arguments were refused. Check the flags and send them again.
  • The Astris MCP: The field <field> was refused. when the API names the field, or Those arguments were refused. Check the tool description and send them again.
