Response status codes

Under Responses, you can see the possible HTTP status codes that will be returned together with a response message.

  • If the API returns a status code of "200", it means your request was successful. You can see an example of a successful response, as well as the model.
  • If the API returns any other code, it means there was an error.

The table below will help you identify the reason why you are getting a certain response.
