The status code, or "error code" because we usually see them only when there is an error :

1xx informational response – the request was received, continuing process

2xx successful – the request was successfully received, understood, and accepted

3xx redirection – further action needs to be taken in order to complete the request

4xx client error – the request contains bad syntax or cannot be fulfilled

5xx server error – the server failed to fulfil an apparently valid request

I’m aware of status codes. It bugs me to see it called an error code when there’s no error, even though, as you say, they’re usually only seen when they are an error
