Status	Meaning
200	The document.
401	No key, or a key that is unknown, expired or revoked, or whose creator is no longer an owner or admin.
403	The key lacks the permission, or it is an API key and the workspace isn't on Teams & Platform.
404	Not found in the key's workspace (a key works only in the workspace it was made in; get_workspace says which).
429	More than 120 calls a minute through this key, more than 2000 from one network address (for IPv6, its /56 block) across all keys, or a limit on sending reached: the key's daily sends, the plan's or a recipient's daily requests, or the workspace's waiting approvals.

Errors share one shape, { "message": "…" }: see Errors and rate limits.
