In the world of tech, there’s a curious thing,
Called API requests that make devices sing.
They’re like little messages that devices send,
To get a response from their API friend.

API requests are like a note,
Sent to an API with a hopeful mote.
They can ask for data or do some work,
And wait for a response, like a playful quirk.

But sometimes the API friend may say,
“I cannot do as you request today”.
And send a response with a special code,
To let the device know what’s on the road.

— — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — —

Response codes are like a language too,
And help devices know what to do.
There’s 200 for success, and 400 for bad,
And 500 for errors, that makes devices sad.

With response codes, the devices know,
If their requests are a friend or foe.
They can take action based on the code,
And keep the tech world in a secure mode.

So next time you send an API request,
And wait for a response with bated breath,
Remember that codes are the language that speak,
And help devices find what they seek.

API requests and response codes together,
Are the backbone of tech’s forever.
They help devices connect and communicate,
And make our world a much better state.
