# Handling HTTP Request Errors

**Cognigy Support**  
December 27, 2020

## Challenge

You want to access an API and handle errors returned from it properly.

## Solution

Cognigy.AI will return the full response from the API within the Input or Context objects, depending on what you configured. The default is

```
input.httprequest
```

Within this object you will see the exact response from your API, including all error information. Example:

```
"httprequest": {
    "error": {
      "code": 500,
      "description": "Internal Server Error"
    },
    "statusCode": 500
  }
```

You could now branch your Flow depending on the result, e.g. input.httprequest.error
