    "tokens_used": "...",   // integer - Tokens used in operation

Errors

If an error in sending parameters occurs, the response is a JSON with the following structure:

{
    "errors": {
        "param1": [     // string - Parameter name that generated the error
            "message"   // string - Error description
        ],
