The grammar and its error shapes:\n\n**Geo filters and their coordinate order:**\n- `GET /boxes?bbox=13.3,52.5,13.4,52.55` → a JSON **array** of boxes. Order is **lngSW,latSW,lngNE,latNE** (longitude first) — the 422 message spells it out: `Supplied coordinates are outside of -180, -90, 180, 90 (lngSW, latSW, lngNE, latNE)`.\n- `GET /boxes?near=13.4,52.52&maxDistance=1000` → boxes near a **lng,lat** point (longitude first again). `near=13.4` (one number) → HTTP 422 `missing latitude or longitude in location [13.4]`.\n- `exposure=outdoor|indoor|mobile|unknown` filters the set (169 / 35 / 39 / … boxes in this box).\n\n**`format`:** `format=json` (default) → array of box objects; `format=geojson` → a `FeatureCollection`. `format=bogus` → HTTP **422** `Illegal value for parameter format. allowed values: json, geojson`.\n\n**Every malformed parameter is HTTP 422 `{\"code\":\"UnprocessableEntity\",\"message\":\"...\"}`** with a specific message — a consistent, machine-readable validation layer:\n- `exposure=bogus` → `allowed values: unknown, indoor, outdoor, mobile`.\n- `bbox=13.3,52.5,13.4` (3 values) → `Invalid number of coordinates.`\n- `bbox=abc` → `Supplied values can not be parsed as floats.`\n- `bbox=-200,...` → the out-of-range message above.\n- `/boxes/notanid` and `/boxes/notanid/sensors` → 422 `Parameter boxId is not parseable as datatype id` (a well-formed-but-absent 24-hex id → HTTP **404** `{\"code\":\"NotFound\",\"message\":\"Box not found\"}` instead — 422 = unparseable, 404 = parseable-but-absent).\n- `.../data/{sensorId}?to-date=2020-01-02` (date only) → 422 `Invalid timestamp '2020-01-02'` — timestamps must be full RFC3339 (`2020-01-02T00:00:00Z`); `from-date=bogus` → 422 likewise.\n\n**Payload sizes / silent behaviors:**\n- `GET /boxes` unfiltered → HTTP 200, **~21.6 MB**, 17121 boxes, ~47 s. `GET /boxes?minimal=true` → **~3.9 MB**, same 17121 boxes with only `_id,name,exposure,currentLocation,lastMeasurementAt`. Ask for `minimal` unless you need the full sensor tree.\n- `GET /boxes/{id}/sensors` → the box's sensors with each `lastMeasurement` (value or `null`).\n- Historical measurements: `GET /boxes/{id}/data/{sensorId}` → array; an empty window is `[]` at **HTTP 200**; `?format=csv` → `text/csv` with header `createdAt,value`.\n- `GET /stats` → a bare 3-element array `[boxes, measurements, measurementsInLast30d]` (e.g. `[17121, 10167500441, 6332]`) — no object wrapper, positional.\n- `GET /boxes/data?bbox=...` **without** `phenomenon` → HTTP **400** `{\"code\":\"BadRequest\",\"message\":\"missing required parameter phenomenon\"}` — note this one is 400 `BadRequest`, not 422, because the parameter is missing rather than malformed.
