There are two types of error codes, client and server.
Client error codes are generally caused by the client and might be an authentication failure or an invalid domain. In the SOAP API, these error codes are prefixed with Client. For example: Client.AuthFailure. In the REST API, these errors are accompanied by a 4xx HTTP response code.
Server error codes are generally caused by a server-side issue and should be reported. In the SOAP API, these error codes are prefixed with Server. For example: Server.Unavailable. In the REST API, these errors are accompanied by a 5xx HTTP response code.
The following table lists all Amazon SimpleDB error codes.
