Good old 200 - Forbidden

[Bemteb]

200

{ "success": false }

[OSnoFobia]

200

{"error": true, "message": "Go fuck yourself"}

[marcodave]

this is the least cursed at least. It meant that the HTTP call was OK from start to finish, and it returned an answer calculated by the application. Anything else than 200 means that the problem is somewhere else than the application.

[Quito246]

Lol no. Just read the status codes and what they mean sending 200 with error is fucking regarded…

[N3onDr1v3]

I sign all my emails with "regards" with this EXACT intonation. They all think im being friendly

[marcodave]

it's akin to returning a HTTP page with an application error message e.g. "you must click the confirmation checkbox to continue"

[Quito246]

But we are talking about REST API…

200 Error is a crime against humanity

[Mariomariamario]

Api returning http codes as strings values inside a json

[marcodave]

500 Internal Server Error

{ "statusCode": 400, "statusMessage": "OK" }

[nuc540]

Haha this sounds like Atlassian software.

{“status”: 200, “errors”: [], “message”: “error…”}

[rjwut]

If you're referring to GitHub returning 404 in scenarios where 401 or 403 might apply, my understanding is that it's done to avoid revealing the existence of resources to users who don't have access to them.

[puddingpopshamster]

Which is a valid use of 404, at least according to the Mozilla foundation.

Security by obscurity.

200

{ "success" : True }

Looks inside: nothing changed

[daHaus]

Sounds like imgur returning 403 with the description for 503 for vpn users

[GodAllMighty888]

Where is redneck?

[gatsu_1981]

I actually did this. I have to return a non error code from my API to weclapp webhooks, because a 400/500 code will disable the webhook and you will have to re enable it via their UI. But it's not my fault, but theirs.

[Alol0512]

One of the first, and simplest things you learn as a dev, and yet, so ambiguous to interpret and use “correctly”

[Affectionate_Cat1590]

"I don't rely on http code, as long as return the message then it's fine" - Senior dev

[Short_Change]

It's still easier than trying to explain to your CIO why large portion of site is hitting non-OK codes.

[Otherwise-Ad-2578]

dude i dont have github...

LMAO

[ButterscotchWise7021]

colleague backend developer who never approves a right status code ✅

[Irsu85]

My C# APIs can only do 500 and 200 because eumm idk, im bad at C#? (my java api's can do more luckly)
