Ironfang Finance API problem type

payload_too_large

Payload too large. HTTP 413.

What it means

The body exceeds the size the operation accepts: 5 MiB for a document or a JSON input, 48 MiB for a report to verify.

What to do

Send a smaller body. Archives and compressed documents are not a way round the limit; they are refused.

Problems follow RFC 9457 and are served as application/problem+json. A validation finding is never a Problem: an invalid invoice is a successful response that lists its findings. See every problem type, the Finance guide and the OpenAPI contract.
