Error messages

To help identify the issue with your API requests, the error JSON response returned will often include a message property that aims to be descriptive. Example of an error message from the API: 
{
  "success": false,
  "message": "Error creating Withdrawal Request: The \"amount\" property (in millisatoshis) is required.",
}
