Someone's openapi is missing a response code, how can I extract their error message?

[bimargulies]

I am using kiota to talk to a service whose authors forgot to list '400' among their error codes, but who produce 400s. Other than editing their openapi doc, how could I extract the details associated with their response?

Hi @bimargulies
Thank you for using kiota and for reaching out.
Is the error response something that could be parsed (i.e. JSON) ? In which case, your easiest path forward is probably to keep a local copy of the description and edit it to include the error definition. Eventually try to funnel the change back to the API producer.

I am already using a jquery script to edit their openapi spec for other lacunae, I can do an error code as well.
