Common to every call

CodeTypeWhat it means
401 AUTH_KEY_UNREGISTERED The server does not know this session: the key was revoked, expired, or the call was made before authorisation.
401 API_ID_INVALID This api_id was never issued or has been blocked. Keys come from my.ansible.su.
400 CONNECTION_LAYER_INVALID The client did not declare a layer, or declared one the server does not know.
420 FLOOD_WAIT_X Too often. Do not retry for X seconds — the number arrives in the error text.
500 INTERNAL A failure on our side. The request may be retried; if it keeps failing, it is a bug of ours.
