They are a primary output. Every API call that can fail will fail — due to invalid input, authentication problems, resource conflicts, rate limits, or infrastructure issues — and how an API communicates those failures determines whether integrators can handle them gracefully or are left guessing. An API that returns clear, consistent, actionable errors is a well-designed API. Everything else is guesswork at scale.</p>
