type: authentication error?

[Tejas]

{"type":"invalid_request_error","message":"Invalid API Key provided: sk_live_*********************<end of key>","status":401}

Based on the Go library (https://github.com/stripe/stripe-go/blob/master/error.go#L14), I thought this would have type: "authentication_error". Am I missing something?

Hey there,

Great question! I agree that "authentication_error" makes the most sense here, but in testing I can't find any instances where that error is returned by the Stripe API. invalid_request_error is used for:

1. Wrong/missing API key

2. Wrong Connect credentials

Of course, as you showed: the error message does indicate the authentication failure in a human-readable way. A more specific error code is something I'd like to see here as well; I've created an internal request to look at improving this in the future.

Hope that clears things up!

Best,

- Fred.

I also see invalid request error for rate limits... which seems weird compared to the constants in go lib.
