HTTP Status Codes

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

HTTP Status CodeDescription
200-299The request was processed successfully
400-499The request was not valid (e.g. a required parameter was missing).
500-599The request could not be processed for an unexpected reason.

Response

Returns a JSON object and an appropriate HTTP status code.

Please note that the human-readable textual messages included within the error object are improved over time. For validation and mapping purposes, please use the error code or HTTP status code values.
