API errors are first class citizens

Rob Allen, an active member of the Zend Framework community, makes the case for giving some love to API errors.

It's not hard to have great error responses; you just need to care. Poor error response cause developers to give up with an API and go elsewhere, so it's a competitive advantage to get this right.

Developers integrating with your API will thank you.
