# `failed_dependency`

`failed_dependency`

## Description

A required downstream dependency failed to complete the request.

## HTTP Status

`424 Failed Dependency`

## `doc_url` Format

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

`<docs-base-url>/errors/failed_dependency`

## Typical Causes

* A signature provider rejected a signature-request creation.
* A downstream provider was unavailable or returned an invalid response.

## Example

Response:

```json
{
  "errors": [
    {
      "code": "failed_dependency",
      "message": "Signature provider failed to create the signature request",
      "doc_url": "https://docs.example.com/errors/failed_dependency"
    }
  ]
}
```

## How To Fix

1. Retry the request after confirming the downstream dependency is available.
2. Contact platform support if the failure persists.
