# REQUEST_BLOCKED

A security filter at the edge rejected this request before the API saw its body. This usually happens because a text field contains something that looks like code or markup (HTML tags, scripts). Review the request body and try again.

<Callout type="info">
**Category:** [General](/errors/category/shared)
</Callout>
