# Error handling

When using the ecoinvent API, you should not encounter any specific errors apart from standard HTTP API errors. If you encounter an error that is not documented in the authentication part of this guide, please contact us and we will come back to you as soon as possible.

Before reaching out, you can also check the [ecoinvent status page](https://status.ecoinvent.org) to see if there is an ongoing incident or scheduled maintenance affecting the API. You can subscribe to status updates to receive notifications about outages and maintenance windows directly via email.
