#  Error Reference

 All errors returned by the Alerting API use the `ERR::ALERT::*` prefix. Each error includes an HTTP status code, a machine-readable code, and a description.

 The full error catalog is also available at `GET /doc/errors` on the Scrapfly API and in the [error documentation](https://scrapfly.io/docs/scrape-api/errors) shared across all products.

 | Error code | HTTP status | Retryable | Description & what to do |
|---|---|---|---|
| `ERR::ALERT::UNKNOWN_METRIC` | 400 | No | The `metric_id` you provided is not in the alertable metric registry. Metric IDs are case-sensitive.   **Fix:** Call `GET /alert/metric-families` or check the [metric reference](https://scrapfly.io/docs/alerting/metric-reference) for the full list of valid IDs. |
| `ERR::ALERT::INVALID_DIMENSIONS` | 400 | No | One or more keys in `metric_dimensions` are not in the chosen metric's `allowed_dimensions` list, or a dimension value is not a valid enum member (for example, `env` must be `LIVE` or `TEST`).   **Fix:** Check the [dimension values reference](https://scrapfly.io/docs/alerting/metric-reference#dimension-values) and remove unknown keys. |
| `ERR::ALERT::INVALID_THRESHOLD` | 400 | No | The `threshold` value or `comparator` is invalid. `threshold` must be a finite number (not NaN or Infinity). `comparator` must be one of: `gt`, `lt`, `gte`, `lte`, `eq`, `neq`.   **Fix:** Pass a numeric threshold and a valid comparator string. |
| `ERR::ALERT::INVALID_SUSTAINED_WINDOW` | 400 | No | `sustained_minutes` is out of range. It must be between 1 and 1440 (1 day). Setting it to 0 or a negative number is not allowed.   **Fix:** Use a value between 1 and 1440. The registry default for most metrics is 5 minutes; start there. |
| `ERR::ALERT::CHANNEL_UNREACHABLE` | 422 | No | A `notify_channels` entry is malformed. This happens when:  - `kind` is not one of `email`, `webhook`, or `inapp`. - An `email` channel is missing the `target` field (email address). - A `webhook` channel is missing the `target` field (URL), or the URL targets a private/internal hostname (SSRF protection).    **Fix:** Check that every channel entry has a valid `kind` and a non-empty `target` for email and webhook channels. |
| `ERR::ALERT::PROJECT_NOT_FOUND` | 404 | No | The `project_uuid` does not exist or is not accessible with the authenticated account.   **Fix:** Verify the project UUID in your [Projects dashboard](https://scrapfly.io/dashboard/project). If you are using an API key, confirm it belongs to an account that has access to the project. |
| `ERR::ALERT::NOT_FOUND` | 404 | No | The `alert_uuid` does not exist, was deleted, or does not belong to the authenticated account.   **Fix:** Use `GET /alert?project_uuid=…` to list alerts and confirm the UUID. |
| `ERR::ALERT::EVAL_TIMEOUT` | 504 | Yes | The evaluation query timed out. The alert state was not changed; the next scheduled tick will retry automatically. This appears in the alert's event log as an evaluation-error entry.   **Action:** No action needed for one-off timeouts. If this error appears repeatedly for the same alert, the evaluation window may be too wide for the metric's data volume. Try narrowing the sustained window or contact support. |
| `ERR::ALERT::INTERNAL` | 500 | Yes | A generic server-side error during a create / read / update / delete operation. The `description` field of the error envelope carries the operation context (for example *"create alert failed"* or *"list alerts failed"*).   **Action:** Retry the request. Mutations are rolled back on failure, so retrying after a partial error is safe. If the error persists for several minutes, [contact support](https://scrapfly.io/contact). |

## Error response shape

 All Alerting API errors follow the standard Scrapfly API error envelope:

 ```
{
    "code": "ERR::ALERT::UNKNOWN_METRIC",
    "message": "The metric_id provided is not a registered alertable metric.",
    "http_code": 400,
    "retryable": false,
    "links": {
        "Related Error Doc": "https://scrapfly.io/docs/alerting/error/ERR::ALERT::UNKNOWN_METRIC",
        "Alert Documentation": "https://scrapfly.io/docs/alerting"
    }
}
```
