Errors

All function calls to the Web Service can possibly return an error if a problem occurs while processing your request. When a problem happens, an error code is returned in XML format, like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<nimbb version="1">
<error>
  <code>2</code>
  <message>The credentials (key and code) are invalid or this account does not have an active subscription.</message>
  <url>http://api.nimbb.com/Video/Download.aspx</url>
</error>
</nimbb>

A message is also returned for quick understanding of the problem and the url that was called causing the error. After calling our API, it is good practice to verify that no error was returned by the service.
