Overview

The Rampnow API returns standard HTTP status codes to indicate the success or failure of API requests. These codes are returned by the server and provide immediate feedback about your request.
HTTP status codes are different from application error codes. Status codes indicate the HTTP-level result, while error codes provide specific application-level details.
