Hello Devs,
In this blog I am going to discuss about the https status code in an API call.
I know, you all must have worked on many APIs till date and also checked the Network tab in browser's Developers tool to check whether the HTTP request is success or its failed. But have you ever seen something called status code in the network tab, which contain some random numbers like 200, 404, 501 etc.
In this blog I am going to discuss about these numbers, what these numbers are and what these numbers denotes. So, without wasting time, let's get deep dive into the tutorial.
What is status code?
HTTP response status codes indicates that whether the request made by you, or your browser has been successfully completed or not.
Depending on the response status you will get the different status code.
Status codes are categorized in the following 5 groups.
- Informational responses (status code between 100–199)
- Successful responses (status code between 200–299)
- Redirects (status code between 300–399)
- Client errors (status code between 400–499)
- Server errors (status code between 500–599)
Let's see some of the general status code in each category.
1. Informational responses (status code between 100–199)
100 Continue, if status code is 100, it indicates that the response is OK and you can continue to make another request.
