HTTP Status Codes

The ForgeBox API returns appropriate HTTP status codes for every request.

200 OK: Success!
400 Bad Request: The request was invalid. An accompanying error message will explain why.
403 Forbidden: The request is understood, but it has been refused. An accompanying error message will explain why.
404 Not Found: The URI requested is invalid or the resource requested does not exist
500 Internal Server Error: Something crashed, oops!

Error Messages

When the ForgeBox API returns error messages, it does so in the returned structure as we saw in our API documenation page. A sample is shown below:

XML Example:

<forgebox>
  <error>true</error>
  <messages>Invalid Return Format</messages>
  <data />
</forgebox>
