Unavailable

typehttps://docs.frem.sh/reference/api/errors/unavailable
HTTP status503 Service Unavailable

What it means

A dependency the endpoint needs could not be reached just now, or the feature is not set up on this server.

Example detail messages returned with this error:

  • Could not read the event feed just now; retry with the same cursor.
  • Could not check your repository access just now; try again.

What to do

Retry after a short wait. For the event feed, retry with the same cursor: nothing is lost.

Response shape

All fremforge API errors are RFC 9457 problem+json:

{
  "type": "https://docs.frem.sh/reference/api/errors/unavailable",
  "title": "Service Unavailable",
  "status": 503,
  "detail": "..."
}

Branch on type, not on title or detail - those are human-readable and may be reworded.
