# service_not_found — no such service

- HTTP: `422`

- `reason`: `service_not_found`

- `Retry-After` header: no

## What happened

422 with `reason: "service_not_found"` and without `errors`: the request passed shape validation but failed at service resolution. The order was not created.

## Why

The most common cause is a `task_type` that cannot be created publicly. The values `image`, `txt2img`, `remix`, `image_edit`, `voice_clone` are in the enum, so they pass request validation — but no service with that code exists in the public API. Only `tts`, `sfx`, `music`, and `voice_search` can be created with an API key; the other enum values exist solely for the `GET /orders?task_type[]=…` filter. The second cause: the service exists but is not active.

## What to do

Check against the list of creatable types and do not send the rest. The same `reason` appears on `GET /usage/{service}` as a 404: there, `service` is the `service_code` from `GET /usage`, not an arbitrary string.

## Next request

`POST /orders` with a `task_type` from the four supported ones or with a `template_id` (for TTS a template is required: the voice is set by `config.tts_settings.voice_id` of the template, and there is no `orders.voice_id` field). Which `config` keys the service accepts — `GET /templates/config-options?service=<code>`.
