Response codes 2XX indicate a successfully processed request (e.g., code 200 for retrieving data, code 201 for adding a new entity, code 204 for deletion, etc.).
Response codes 4XX indicate that a request could not be processed correctly because of some client-side data issues (e.g., 404 when addressing a non-existing resource).
Response codes 5XX indicate that an internal server-side error occurred during the request processing (e.g., when database is temporarily unavailable).
Each response error includes HTTP code and JSON data with error description. It has the following structure:
error_code
– integer error code;
error_message
– text error description;
details
– additional error details (format is specified to each case). Can be empty.
