Response Status Codes — Sayari

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

Success

All successful requests will be indicated with 2xx status codes.

Code	Response	Description
200	Ok	Successful GET request. Everything worked as expected.
201	Created	Successful POST request. Everything worked as expected.

4xx range codes indicate errors based on provided information. 5xx range codes indicate server-side errors.

Error codes in the 4xx range often include an error code for clarity.

Code	Response	Description
400	Bad Request	Incorrectly formatted request.
401	Unauthorized	Request made without valid token.
404	Not Found	Resource not found or does not exist.
405	Method Not Allowed	Request made with an unsupported HTTP method. Currently only GET and POST are supported.
406	Not Acceptable	Request made in an unacceptable state. This is most commonly due to parameter validation errors.
415	Unsupported Media Type	Accept header on request set to an unsupported media type. Currently only application/json and text/csv are supported for indicated resources.
429	Rate Limited	Too many requests within too short of a period. The reply will contain a retry-after header that indicates when the client can safely retry.
500	Internal Server Error	Internal server error occurred.

Error format:

1 {
2   "status": 500,
3   "success": false,
4   "messages": ["Internal Server Error"]
5 }

Validation messages on request parameters will also be displayed in the messages field to give more information on the failed request.
