Status Code

After sending a request, you will receive a response, including the status code, response header, and response body.

A status code is a group of digits ranging from 1xx to 5xx. It indicates the status of a response. For more information, see Status Code.

If status code 201 is returned for the calling of the API for obtaining a user token, the request is successful.

Response Header

A response header corresponds to a request header, for example, Content-type.

Figure 1 shows the response header for the API of obtaining a user token, in which x-subject-token is the desired user token. Then, you can use the token to authenticate the calling of other APIs.

(Optional) Response Body

The body of a response is often returned in structured format (such as JSON or XML) as specified in the Content-type header field. The response body transfers content except the response header.

You can obtain a token by calling an API. The following shows part of the response body for the API to obtain a user token.

{
    "token": {
        "expires_at": "2019-02-13T06:52:13.855000Z",
        "methods": [
            "password"
        ],
        "catalog": [
            {
                "endpoints": [
                    {
                        "region_id": "XXXXXX",
......

If an error occurs during API calling, the system returns an error code and a message to you. The following shows the format of an error response body:

{
    "error_msg": "The format of message is error",
    "error_code": "AS.0001"
}

In the preceding information, error_code is an error code, and error_msg describes the error.
