The

409 Conflict

HTTP status code you're encountering indicates that the request could not be completed due to a conflict with the current state of the target resource. This typically happens in scenarios where an insert or update operation is attempted on a resource that already exists with a unique value that cannot be duplicated. In the context of Ory's APIs, this error is represented in a standardized JSON API error format. The error response includes several fields that can provide more details about the nature of the conflict, such as a debug message, a human-readable error name and description, and a status code that represents the error. Here's a breakdown of the error structure based on the extracts provided:

json {   "description": "The standard Ory JSON API error format.",   "properties": {     "error": {       "description": "Error response",       "properties": {         "debug": {           "description": "Debug contains debug information. This is usually not available and has to be enabled.",           "example": "The database adapter was unable to find the element",           "type": "string"         },         "error": {           "description": "Name is the error name.",           "example": "The requested resource could not be found",           "type": "string"         },         "error_description": {           "description": "Description contains further information on the nature of the error.",           "example": "Object with ID 12345 does not exist",           "type": "string"         },         "message": {           "description": "Message contains the error message.",           "type": "string"         },         "status_code": {           "description": "Code represents the error status code (404, 403, 401, ...).",           "example": 404,           "format": "int64",           "type": "integer"         }       },       "type": "object"     }   },   "required": ["error"],   "title": "JSON API Error Response",   "type": "object" }
