Onboardbase uses conventional HTTP response codes to indicate the outcome of an API request. Generally, codes in the 2xx range indicate success. Codes in the 4xx range indicate an error that failed due to the information provided (e.g., a wrong API Key header was passed to a request, a parameter was omitted failed, etc.). Codes in the 5xx range indicate an error with Onboardbase servers, these cases are rare.
