← All HTTP status codes
200
OK
The request succeeded. The standard response for successful HTTP requests.
The 2xx class
2xx — Success. The request was received, understood and accepted. 200 OK is the default; APIs also use 201 for creation and 204 for empty responses.
Monitoring for this code
A 2xx is the expected outcome — but "returns 200" alone doesn't prove the API is healthy. Pair status checks with response assertions (body fields, latency budgets) so a 200 with a broken payload still raises an alert.
