HTTP Status Codes

Innovate 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 caused by the information provided (i.e., a required parameter was omitted, a method was not found, etc.), and codes in the 5xx range indicate an error with Fulcrum’s servers (these are rare).

Status Code	Meaning
200	OK – The request has succeeded . Request include GET and POST
201	Created – The request has succeeded and a new resource has been created as a result of it. This is typically the response sent after a PUT request.
202	Accepted – The request has succeeded and has been added to the queue, but the resource has not yet been created. This is typically the response sent after PUT and POST requests.
204	No Content – There is no content to send for this request. This is common for DELETE requests.
400	Bad Request – This response means that server could not understand the request due to invalid syntax.
401	Unauthorized – Authentication is needed to get requested response. This is similar to 403, but in this case, authentication is possible.
403	Forbidden – Client does not have access rights to the content so server is refusing to give proper response.
404	Not Found – Server cannot find the requested resource.
405	Method Not Allowed – The request method is known by the server but has been disabled and cannot be used. Double check your method type (i.e. GET, POST, PUT, DELETE)
406	Not Acceptable – You requested a format that isn’t json
410	Gone – The kitten requested has been removed from our servers
418	I’m a teapot
429	Too Many Requests – You’re requesting too many kittens! Slow down!
500	Internal Server Error – We had a problem with our server. Try again later.
503	Service Unavailable – We’re temporarially offline for maintanance. Please try again later.
504	Gateway Timeout – This error response is given when the server is acting as a gateway and cannot get a response in time.
