Questions
How is this different from the HTTP Status Codes reference?
The Status Code Finder is optimized for quick lookups. Type a specific code number and get an instant explanation. The HTTP Status Codes reference lets you browse all codes organized by category.
What status codes should I use in my API?
Common API status codes: 200 (success), 201 (created), 204 (no content), 400 (bad request), 401 (unauthorized), 403 (forbidden), 404 (not found), 409 (conflict), 422 (validation error), and 500 (server error).
What is the difference between 301 and 302 redirects?
A 301 is a permanent redirect, telling browsers and search engines to always use the new URL. A 302 is a temporary redirect, meaning the original URL may be used again in the future. Use 301 for URL migrations and 302 for temporary detours.
What does a 204 No Content status code mean?
A 204 response means the server successfully processed the request but is not returning any content. It is commonly used for DELETE requests or form submissions where no response body is needed.
Does this tool work offline after the page loads?
Yes. All status code data is included in the page. Once loaded, you can search and look up any HTTP status code without an internet connection.
