- 200 OK - the request was successful (some API calls may return 201 instead).
- 201 Created - the request was successful and a resource was created.
- 204 No Content - the request was successful but there is no representation to return (i.e. the response is empty).
- 400 Bad Request - the request could not be understood or was missing required parameters.

- 403 Forbidden - access denied.
