Returned Result

Status Code

After sending a request, you will receive a response that includes a 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 request. For more information, see Status Codes.

For example, if status code 201 is returned for calling the API used to obtain a user token, the request is successful.

Response headers

Similar to a request, a response also has a header, for example, Content-Type.

Figure 1 shows the response header fields for the API used to obtain a user token. The x-subject-token header field is the desired user token. You can use this token to authenticate the calling of other APIs.

(Optional) Response Body

This part is optional. A response body is generally returned in a structured format (for example, JSON or XML), corresponding to Content-Type in the response header, and is used to transfer content other than the response header.

The following is a part of the response body for the API used to obtain a user token.
