Typekit API error handling

This is documentation for Typekit’s original API. This API is still supported, but we encourage you to try the newer Typekit Platform API.

When things go wrong HTTP status codes will be used to describe error conditions:

The response will be in the requested output format, the "errors" attribute will contain more information about what went wrong. For example:

$ curl -s https://typekit.com/api/v1/json/kits
{
  "errors": [
    "Not authorized"
  ]
}

If the API format you're requesting isn't recognized it will respond with a plain text 404:

$ curl -s https://typekit.com/api/v1/sgml
Not Found

Some objects, notably font families, have multiple identifiers. The Typekit API will issue a 302 redirect to the primary endpoint for the object if a request is made using a different identifier.
