The Reg API has a detailed set of error codes, to help you handle user and software errors. To see a list of the error codes, use the get_error_codes operation. See the API Reference for more information.

Uncaught errors

If the Reg API system cannot handle an error, you'll get back a plain text message containing the error ticket of what caused the exception, for example:

An fatal error has occurred (error ticket #12345). 
Please visit the support section at http://secondlife.com/support/ for further assistance.
Note the error ticket code and description of the problem. 
Error Description: undefined method `permission' for #<User:0x00000000>.

If you get an uncaught error, note the cause, the error ticket number, and email Linden Lab with the information.
