Could someone provide the list of possible values that can be provided in the “category” field of an api error?  
For example I’ve found VALIDATION\_ERROR, CONFLICT, but i’m wondering what are the others?

Hey, @MViko 👋 Welcome to our community! We have this documentation — [**Handling Errors**](https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/reference/api/other-resources/error-handling#handling-errors). It provides a lot of useful information about the various error codes that are returned by our APIs, but it doesn’t list all the possible values for the categories.

Best,

Jaycee

Would it be possible to create a page with a comprehensive list of error categories?  
That would be very helpful, in managing error-handling in our applications.
