Response

Status Codes

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 Header

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

If the API is used to obtain a user token, the response header shown in Figure 1 is returned.

Response body

A response body is generally returned in a structured format, corresponding to the Content-Type in the response header, and is used to transfer content other than the response header.

The following shows part of the response body for the API to obtain a user token. For the sake of space, only part of the content is displayed here.

{ 
    "user": { 
        "id": "c131886aec...", 
        "name": "IAMUser", 
        "description": "IAM User Description", 
        "areacode": "", 
        "phone": "", 
        "email": "***@***.com", 
        "status": null, 
        "enabled": true, 
        "pwd_status": false, 
        "access_mode": "default", 
        "is_domain_owner": false, 
        "xuser_id": "", 
        "xuser_type": "", 
        "password_expires_at": null, 
        "create_time": "2024-05-21T09:03:41.000000", 
        "domain_id": "d78cbac1..........", 
        "xdomain_id": "30086000........", 
        "xdomain_type": "", 
        "default_project_id": null 
    } 
}

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": "Request body is invalid.", 
    "error_code": "IAM.0011" 
}

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