What is HTTP 409 Conflict?

HTTP 409 Conflict indicates that the server cannot or will not process the request due to something that is perceived to be a client error. This could be malformed request syntax, invalid request message framing, or deceptive request routing.

The client should not repeat the request without modifications.

When Does This Happen?

A 409 Conflict response is returned when:

  • The request has invalid syntax or malformed request parameters
  • Required parameters are missing from the request
  • The request body contains invalid JSON or XML
  • Query parameters have invalid values or formats
  • The request URL is malformed or contains invalid characters
  • Request headers contain invalid or conflicting values
