Get error message from API request using Ajax javascript

Question

I am requesting a API that throw an error but I cannot get the error message.

This is how the API return the error:

res.status(500).send(JSON.stringify({
                    status: 500,
                    message: "Error during insertion" + err.message,
                }));

This is how I am trying to catch that message.

error: function(res) {
                console.log("Error: " + res.message);
                ierror = 1;

        }

Any idea how i can do it?

Parse the incoming string into an Object.

error: function(res) {
            res = JSON.parse(res)  
            console.log("Error: " + res.message);
            ierror = 1;

    }
