The REST API usesHTTP status codes to indicate the success or failure of a request.A successful request returns a status code in the 200 range; a failed request returns a status code in the 400 or 500 range.
See theAPI reference for status codes specific to each endpoint.
| 200 | Resource found or updated |
|---|---|
| 201 | Resource created |
| 400 | Invalid or missing parameter |
| 403 | Permission denied |
| 404 | Route not found |
| 412 | Invalid conditional request |
| 415 | Unsupported content type |
| 500 | Server error |
4xx and 5xx responses include a JSON response object with information about the error.Here's an example of a 404 error response.
