Rated API utilizes standard HTTP response codes to communicate the outcome of an API request. It is essential to note that:
  • Response codes in the 2xx range signify successful execution of the request.
  • Response codes in the 4xx range indicate a client-side error, arising from insufficient or incorrect information provided (e.g., missing required parameters, invalid values types, etc.).
  • Response codes in the 5xx range signify a server-side error, indicative of an issue with Rated’s servers. These are uncommon.
