# Error

> Standard DarkRecon error payload.

# Error

Returned on application-level failures such as invalid API keys, upstream provider errors, or missing scan IDs.

## Shape

```json theme={null}
{
  "detail": "Could not validate API key"
}
```

## Important distinction

Most application errors use the simple string-based `detail` shape above. Validation failures, including a missing `X-API-Key` header, use `HTTPValidationError` instead.
