google-analytics-api Error Responses 400 invalidParameter

Example

It is important to read the error response that is returned by the Google Analytics API server. In a lot of cases they can tell you exactly what is wrong.

400 invalidParameter

{
 "error": {
  "errors": [
   {
    "domain": "global",
    "reason": "invalidParameter",
    "message": "Invalid value '-1' for max-results. Value must be within the range: [1, 1000]",
    "locationType": "parameter",
    "location": "max-results"
   }
  ],
  "code": 400,
  "message": "Invalid value '-1' for max-results. Value must be within the range: [1, 1000]"
 }
}

In this case the message:

"message": "Invalid value '-1' for max-results. Value must be within the range: [1, 1000]",

Is telling us that we sent a -1 value for the parameter max-results which is not valid we can only send a value from 1-1000.
