Bad Request. This error typically occurs due to a problem with the format of request data, such as a non-parsing or invalid body of data, or an invalid set of query parameters or values.

The response's detail should clarify the problem. The response also features an optional errors array that potentially list more than one detected problem encountered at runtime.

This example represents a syntax problem in the schema. The provided value doesn't match the allowed enums. For 400 errors caused by schema mismatches, you can compare your request body against the schemaLink and schemaLocation. See Get a schema for a request for more details.

Possible types of 400 errors

• Property version hostnames. These errors indicate problems with hostnames assigned to property versions, such as the cnameTo value referencing a non-existent edge hostname, missing or mismatched cnameTo and edgeHostnameId values and others.
• Edge hostname problems. These errors indicate problems with an edge hostname, such as the specified edge hostname being unavailable, the edge hostname's specified domainPrefix or domainSuffix not being allowed, invalid or not allowed use case and others.
• Hostname bucket problems. These errors indicate problems with a hostname bucket, such as failed attempt to save hostnames bucket or unsupported copyHostnames option.
