API Status Codes

After an API endpoint is executed, you'll usually get a status code along with the data you requested (if it ran successfully). Status codes are the same across all web services so it's good for you to know them.

For Example: if you're trying to work with a weather external API service to get the daily forecast and get a 503 response, It means there's something wrong on their end.

See below for all status codes
