API

Status Code

After sending a request, you will receive a response, including 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 Code.

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

Response Header

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 obtaining a user token. The x-subject-token header field is the desired user token. This token can then be used to authenticate the calling of other APIs.

(Optional) Response Body

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

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