Status Codes

Our API uses conventional HTTP response codes to indicate the success or failure of an API request.

In general: Codes in the 2xx range indicate success. Codes in the 4xx range indicate an error that failed given the information provided (e.g., a required parameter was omitted, a charge failed, etc.). Codes in the 5xx range indicate an error with our servers.

The following success and error codes are managed by our APIs:

Success

Status code HTTP Message Description
200 OK Everything worked as expected.
201 Created Resource has been created successfully
204 No Content Server has successfully handled the request and that there is no additional content to send in the response

Error

Status code HTTP Message Description
400 Bad Request The request was unacceptable, often due to missing a required parameter.
401 Unauthorized No valid Authentication provided.
403 Forbidden You don't have permissions to perform the request.
404 Not Found The requested resource doesn't exist.
406 Not Acceptable Provided content-type header is invalid
409 Conflict The request conflicts with another request (perhaps due to using the same idempotent key).
429 Too Many Requests Too many requests hit the API too quickly.
500, 502, 503, 504 Server Errors Something went wrong on our API server.
