Responses

Status Code

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

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

Response Header

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

In the response header returned by the API used to obtain a user token, x-subject-token is the desired user token. Then, you can use the token to authenticate the calling of other APIs.

Response Body

The body of a response is often returned in a structured format as specified in Content-Type. The response body transfers content except the response header.

The following shows part of the response body for the API of obtaining a user token.

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

If an error occurs during API calling, an error code and error message will be displayed. The following shows the response body in the case of an error:

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

In the error response, error_code indicates an error code, and error_msg describes the error.
