Multi-Status

WebDAV: the body contains multiple status codes for multiple sub-operations.

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.

Other 2xx status codes

200 OK 201 Created 202 Accepted 203 Non-Authoritative Information 204 No Content 205 Reset Content 206 Partial Content 208 Already Reported 226 IM Used
