Response codes

Rackspace CDN returns an HTTP code that denotes the type of response.

• Successful response codes are returned only if all configured providers were successful in processing the request.

• Error response codes are accompanied by an application/json response body that contains the error messages.

This API uses standard HTTP 1.1 response codes.

The following table lists possible responses with their associated codes and descriptions.

Response	Associated response code	Description
OK	200	The request has succeeded. (Some API calls return 201 instead.
Created	201	The request has been fulfilled and a resource was created.
Accepted	202	The request has been accepted for processing.
No Content	204	The request has been fulfilled but does not return a representation (that is, the response is empty).
Bad Request	400	The request was not understood or was missing required parameters.
Unauthorized	401	Authentication failed, or the user does not have permissions for a requested operation.
Forbidden	403	The server understood the request but refused to fulfill it.
Not Found	404	A requested resource was not found.
Method Not Allowed	405	The request method is not supported for this resource.
Request Entity Too Large	413	The server is refusing to process a request because the request entity is larger than the server is willing or able to process.
URI Too Long	414	The request URI provides is too long for the server to process.
Too Many Requests	429	Too many requests have been sent in a given amount of time. Pause requests, wait up to one minute, and try again. (Intended for use with rate limiting.)
Internal Server Error	500	The service encountered an unexpected condition that prevented it from fulfilling the request.
Service Unavailable	503	The service is temporarily unavailable, for example, for scheduled platform maintenance. Try again later.
