## Response

`204 No Content` — no body.

## Errors

Every refusal is `{"error": {"code", "message", "field"}}`; `field` is there when one input is at fault.

| Status | Error code | When |
| :- | :- | :- |
| 404 | `not_found` | No category has that id on this account. |
| 404 | `module_off` | The account's plan doesn't include Tickets. |
| 403 | `scope_missing` | The key doesn't have the `tickets:write` scope. |

Any request can also be refused for its key, its account or its rate (`key_required`, `invalid_key`, `account_suspended`, `plan_excludes_api`, `address_not_allowed`, `rate_limited`); see [the overview](/api-reference/overview).
