Status Codes

When you call any of the Lifecycle Management REST endpoints for API Platform Cloud Service, one of the following standard HTTP status codes is returned in the Response header.

HTTP Status Code Description

200 OK

The request was successfully completed. A 200 status is returned for a successful GET or POST method.

202 Accepted

The request has been accepted for processing, but the processing has not been completed. The request may or may not eventually be acted upon, as it may be disallowed at the time processing actually takes place.

The response contains a Location header of a job resource that the client should poll to determine when the job has finished.

400 Bad Request

The request could not be processed because it contains missing or invalid information (such as, a validation error on an input field, a missing required value, and so on).

401 Unauthorized

The request is not authorized. The authentication credentials included with this request are missing or invalid.

403 Forbidden

The user cannot be authenticated. The user does not have authorization to perform this request.

404 Not Found

The request specifies an endpoint that does not exist.

405 Method Not Allowed

The HTTP verb specified in the request (DELETE, GET, POST, PUT) is not supported for the specified endpoint.

406 Not Acceptable

The object identified by this request is not capable of generating a representation corresponding to one of the media types in the Accept header of the request. For example, the client's Accept header request XML be returned, but the endpoint can only return JSON.

415 Not Acceptable

The client's ContentType header is not correct (for example, the client attempts to send the request in XML, but the endpoint can only accept JSON).

500 Internal Server Error

The server encountered an unexpected condition that prevented it from fulfilling the request.

503 Service Unavailable

The server is unable to handle the request due to temporary overloading or maintenance of the server. The REST API web application is not currently running.
