What are HTTP status codes❓
An HTTP status code is a server response to a browser's request. When you visit a website, your browser sends a request to the site's server, and the server then responds to the browser's request with a three-digit code: the HTTP status code.
🔵 HTTP Status Codes
100 - Continue — this status did the notification code that the server has received the first request and waits to receive further instructions from the browser.
101 - Switching Protocols — it is used when the server receives the changes proposed by the browser. For example, changes from HTTP 1.0 to HTTP 1.1.
102 - Processing — the server has received the request but has not completed it. This is to prevent the browser from interpreting that the request has been lost, but not yet completed.
103 - Checkpoint — It is used to proceed with the request that was previously missing or cancelled.
🟢 HTTP Successful Codes
200 - OK
201 - Created
202 - Accepted
204 - No Content — server precessed the request successfully, but there is nothing to return
🟡 HTTP Redirection Codes
301 - Moved Permanently
302 - Moved Temporarily
304 - Not Modified
307 - Moved Temporarily (preserves HTTP method)
308 - Moved Permanently (preserves HTTP method)
🔴 HTTP Client Error Codes :
400 - Bad Request — the request was not understood, malformed request syntax, etc.
💡 Check your request for a missing required parameter or an invalid query parameter value.
401 - Unauthorised — when authentication is required, but was not provided.
💡 The provided API key is invalid or missing.
403 - Forbidden — server is refusing action based on user not having necessary permissions for the resource.
💡 The provided API key is invalid for the requested project.
404 - Not Found — but may be available in the future (e.g. not existing user on specific ID).
💡 The requested resource does not exist
405 - Method Not Allowed — for example, when you do a POST request to a GET-only endpoint.
💡 The requested HTTP method is not supported for the specified resource.
406 - Not Acceptable — generated data are in e different format than accepted by the client.
408 - Request Timeout
409 - Conflict — edit conflict between multiple simultaneous updates.
410 - Gone — similar to 404, but indicates that the resource won’t ever be available again.
411 - Length Required — request did not specify length of content.
413 - Payload Too Large — the request is larger than the server is willing to process.
414 - URI Too Long — typically when too many data are transferred via GET params.
415 - Unsupported Media Type — request contains data in wrong format.
429 - Too Many Requests
💡 The rate limit for the API has been exceeded.
🟣 HTTP Server Error Codes
500 - To Many Requests
💡 The rate limit for the API has been exceeded.
