To get the actual status code from the error when calling the Ory Identity API's

createIdentity

method (e.g.,

identityAPI.createIdentity({ createIdentityBody })

), you need to inspect the error object returned by the API client. The Ory API returns errors in a standard JSON format, which includes a status code field. For example, in the error response, you will find a field such as

status_code

(for Ory Network) or

code

(for Ory Kratos) within the error object: - For Ory Network, the error response includes:

json   {     "error": {       "status_code": 400,       "message": "Message contains the error message.",       ...     }   }

- For Ory Kratos, the error response includes:

json   {     "error": {       "code": 400,       "message": "Error message",       ...     }   }

So, after catching the error, you should access

error.response.data.error.status_code

(Ory Network) or

error.response.data.error.code

(Ory Kratos) to get the actual status code, depending on which Ory product you are using. If you are using the Go SDK, the HTTP response object (

r

) also contains the status code as `r.StatusCode`[Ory API Reference - createIdentity](https://www.ory.sh/docs/reference/api). Example (JavaScript/TypeScript):

js try {   await identityAPI.createIdentity({ createIdentityBody }); } catch (error) {   // For Ory Network   const statusCode = error.response?.data?.error?.status_code;   // For Ory Kratos   // const statusCode = error.response?.data?.error?.code;   console.log('Status code:', statusCode); }

Example (Go SDK):

go createdIdentity, r, err := apiClient.IdentityApi.CreateIdentity(ctx).CreateIdentityBody(body).Execute() if err != nil {     fmt.Println("Status code:", r.StatusCode) }

[Ory API Reference - createIdentity](https://www.ory.sh/docs/reference/api)

Based on the knowledge sources provided, the Ory Identity API returns errors in a standard JSON format that includes fields such as

status_code

(Ory Network) or

code

(Ory Kratos) inside the

error

object of the response body. However, if you are only seeing an empty

response

object and a

name

of

"ResponseError"

, this suggests that the error handling in your client or SDK is not exposing the full error response from the API. The knowledge sources do not provide details about SDK-specific error handling or what to do if the error object is empty. They only describe the expected error response format from the API side, not how the client should handle or expose it. Therefore, I cannot provide a definitive solution for your specific client-side issue based on the available documentation. If you are not receiving the expected error structure, you may need to: - Check if your HTTP client or SDK is configured to parse and expose the response body. - Inspect the raw HTTP response (e.g., using network tools or additional logging) to see if the API is returning more information that your client is not displaying. I'm sorry, but the knowledge sources do not contain enough information to explain why you are only seeing an empty

response

object and how to resolve this in your client code. For further troubleshooting, you may need to consult the SDK documentation or seek support from the Ory community.

@chilly-king-10285 What is the github link for the JS client-fetch sdk

The knowledge sources do not provide a direct GitHub link for the JS

@ory/client-fetch

SDK. They mention the [npm package for @ory/client-fetch](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@ory/client-fetch), but do not specify a GitHub repository URL for this SDK. If you need the source code, you may want to check the [Ory SDKs GitHub repository](https://github.com/ory/sdk/tree/master/clients/client), but the exact location for

@ory/client-fetch

is not explicitly stated in the provided documentation [Ory API Reference](https://www.ory.sh/docs/reference/api).
