400

400 BAD REQUEST 400 code can be returned in the following specified cases, the specific cause has to be proper specified in the "ProblemDetails" structure to be returned. If the request is malformed or syntactically incorrect (e.g. if the request URI contains incorrect query parameters or the payload body contains a syntactically incorrect data structure), the API producer shall respond with this response code. The "ProblemDetails" structure shall be provided, and should include in the "detail" attribute more information about the source of the problem.
