DOCUMENT_TOO_LARGE ​

DOCUMENT_TOO_LARGE

Description ​

The document holds more than 20 MB (20 971 520 bytes). The limit keeps the requests short. It is larger than a signed contract with its annexes.

HTTP Status ​

422 Unprocessable Entity

doc_url Format ​

The doc_url value is an absolute URL and changes by environment:

<docs-base-url>/errors/document_too_large

Typical Causes ​

  • The document holds scanned pages at a high resolution.
  • The client sent an archive of several documents in one part.

Example ​

Request: POST /v1/certification/certifications with a document of 25 MB.

Response:

json
{
  "errors": [
    {
      "code": "DOCUMENT_TOO_LARGE",
      "message": "The document holds more than 20971520 bytes",
      "doc_url": "https://docs.example.com/errors/document_too_large"
    }
  ]
}

How To Fix ​

  1. Make the document smaller, for example with a lower scan resolution.
  2. Certify each document of an archive in a separate request.
