Errors
| HTTP | Code | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 400 | INVALID_PARAMS |
messageIds is missing, not an array, empty, has more than 100 items or contains an item that is not a positive integer. Also a query parameter or an extra body field. Checked before any call to Bitrix24 |
| 404 | ENTITY_NOT_FOUND |
Bitrix24 returned "not found"; the portal code is in error.b24Code |
| 422 | BITRIX_ERROR |
Bitrix24 returned an error; the portal code is in error.b24Code. MESSAGES_IN_DIFFERENT_CHAT_ERROR — the messages belong to different chats |
| 403 | SCOPE_DENIED |
The API key does not have the im scope |
| 403 | WRITE_BLOCKED_READONLY_KEY |
The key is read-only — see access rights |
| 401 | TOKEN_MISSING |
The API key has no Bitrix24 tokens configured |
For the full list of common API errors, see Errors.
Known specifics
This is a write operation, even though the method is called read. The call deletes marks, so a read-only key gets 403 WRITE_BLOCKED_READONLY_KEY before any call to Bitrix24.
Messages are not marked as read. Removing anchors does not move the read marker — to do that, mark the messages as read.
