Error message
The provided request body is too large.

Common causes

  • The body of your request exceeds the maximum allowed size. This is often caused by very large custom_data values.

Troubleshooting

  • Reduce the size of your request body.
  • Make sure you're correctly generating the request body.
  • Split your request over multiple requests. For example, send an initial POST then follow-up with a PATCH to enrich the entity you just created.
  • Limit the size of the custom_data in the request. Consider storing this data in your database instead.
