API Exception Handling
![[Deleted User]](https://w4.vanillicon.com/v2/405e65ccf7b995f883e9718428cf100b.svg)
I have several flows which are used just as API calls. How can I configure these flows so the user receives an HTTP Response Status Code and error message if the flow fails? Here is an example below:
5xx Server Error - the server failed to fulfill a valid request.

This can be achieved using the Throw API Exception step within the flows you are concerned with.
I have configured the step to return a 500 Status Code with the message the server failed to fulfill a valid request as you can see to the right.

As you can see below, Postman returned the same Status and Description.
