In order to generalize our current error handling, the new API client raises HTTP errors straight to the commands. For simple cases that don't require specialized handling, we should use the command error handler in bot/cogs/events.py in order to provide a useful response.

You will either have to fire requests against my API instance or set up your own instance of the website: see the setup documentation on the Django branch for details.
For documentation on the command handler, see https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/rewrite/ext/commands/api.html#discord.on_command_error.
If you have any questions, please ask.
