500 Internal Server Error

Something went wrong... Here are some possible reasons for this error:

  • Is the model being sent to the API incorrect?
  • Did you forget a required field?
  • Is the API marked as deprecated, and the date has expired?

If the answer is "No" to all of these questions, DirectScale could be experiencing technical difficulties. Please contact your DirectScale representative if the issue persists.
