Response Codes

Wombat uses conventional HTTP response codes to indicate the success or failure of an API request. In general: Codes in the 2xx range indicate success. Codes in the 4xx range indicate an error that failed given the information provided (e.g., passing data that is invalid or of the wrong shape, etc.). Codes in the 5xx range indicate an internal error, we monitor and fix these as they arise (they should be rare).
