Handling Error Responses
Sometimes your transaction may be rejected by your peer for one or more reasons. Anypay's servers may reject the transaction if it does not contain the correct amounts, or has an insufficient fee, or if the coins are already spent.

The server may also reject your transaction for one or more app-specific reasons such as an invoice that was already paid or manually cancelled or the exchange rate was expired.
Any HTTP Status Code Other Than 2xx Is An Error
400 Bad Request
