Response Status Codes

The error status codes are what Bright app returns when an API request or call fails. This topic provides a table of error codes with possible causes and troubleshooting actions.

Code	Description	How to fix
`200`	OK - the request has succeeded.	There’s no need to fix anything.
`201`	Created - the request has been fulfilled and has resulted in one or more new resources being created.	There’s no need to fix anything.
`202`	Accepted - the request has been accepted for processing, but the processing has not been completed.	There’s no need to fix anything.
`203`	Non-authoritative information - the request was successful but the enclosed payload has been modified from that of the origin server’s 200 OK response by a transforming proxy.	There’s no need to fix anything.
`204`	No content - indicates that a request has succeeded, but that the client doesn't need to navigate away from its current page.	There’s no need to fix anything.
`206`	Partial content - the server is delivering only part of the resource requested by the client due to a range header sent by the client.	There’s no need to fix anything.
`301`	Moved Permanently redirect status response - the requested resource has been definitively moved to the URL given by the Location headers.	It’s a normal behavior, but it can be used to redirect to login page if authentication is required.
`302`	Found - a specific URL has been moved temporarily to a new location.	It’s a normal behavior, but it can be used to redirect to login page if authentication is required.
`303`	Other redirect status response code - the redirects don't link to the requested resource itself, but to another page.	It’s a normal behavior, but it can be used to redirect to login page if authentication is required.
`304`	Not modified - there is no need to retransmit the requested resources. It is an implicit redirection to a cached resource.	There’s no need to fix anything.
`307`	Temporary redirect - the resource requested has been temporarily moved to the URL given by the Location headers.	It’s a normal behavior, but it can be used to redirect to login page if authentication is required.
`308`	Permanent redirect - the resource requested has been definitively moved to the URL given by the Location headers.	It’s a normal behavior, but it can be used to redirect to login page if authentication is required.
`400`	Bad request - API request is not formatted correctly.	Make sure your URL is correct. If it’s not works, try to clear browser cookies and DNS cache. Also, check your browser extensions, some of them can interfere with cookies. Otherwise, the Bright app can properly filter test attacks as bad input.
`401`	Unauthorized - authentication to use an API is failed.	You need to sign on and get an API key. Don’t forget to double-check your credentials.
`403`	Forbidden - requests to this URL are forbidden.	The resource requires special permissions. The correct authentication is required to gain these permissions. Also, this is used by WAF when blocking malicious requests.
`404`	Not found - the requested URL doesn’t exist on the API server.	Double-check the URL to make sure it’s correct and refresh the page.
`405`	Method not allowed - a web browser has requested access to one of your pages, and your web server has recognized the request. However, the server has rejected the specific HTTP method it's using. As a result, your web browser can't access the requested web page.	Clean your browser cookies and cache and then refresh the page.
`406`	Client’s requests with a particular protocol to a website or web application are not supported.	Please make sure that all the target settings are correct, and that the target is available.
`409`	Conflict - the request could not be processed because of a conflict in the request.	Please make sure that all the target settings are correct, and that the target is available.
`411`	Length Required - the server refuses to accept the request without a defined Content-Length header.	Please make sure that all the target settings are correct, and that the target is available.
`412`	Precondition Failed - access to the target resource has been denied.	Please make sure that all the target settings are correct, and that the target is available.
`414`	Too long response status code - the URL requested by the client is longer than the server is willing to interpret.	Clean your browser cookies and cache and then refresh the page.
`415`	Unsupported media type - the server refuses to accept the request because the payload format is in unsupported format.	Please make sure that all the target settings are correct, and that the target is available.
`417`	Expectation failed - the expectation given in the request's Expect header could not be met.	Please make sure that all the target settings are correct, and that the target is available.
`419`	Session expired - a session has expired while processing a post request.	Clean your browser cookies and cache and then refresh the page.
`422`	Unprocessable entity - the request is unable to process, although it is understandable.	Please make sure that all the target settings are correct, and that the target is available.
`424`	Failed dependency - status code means that the method could not be performed on the resource because the requested action depended on another action and that action failed.	Clean your browser cookies and cache and then refresh the page.
`429`	Too many requests - too many requests per second are sent.	Clean your browser cookies and cache and then refresh the page. Also, there is a possibility that rate-limited by WAF is turned on.
`431`	Request header fields too large - the server refuses to process the request because the request's HTTP headers are too long.	Please make sure that all the target settings are correct, and that the target is available.
`500`	Internal server error - API server crashed.	Clean your browser cookies and cache and then refresh the page.
`501`	Not implemented - the request is not available yet.	Please make sure that all the target settings are correct, and that the target is available.
`502`	Bad gateway - the server you were calling is not an actual API server, but a gateway or proxy.	Please make sure that all the target settings are correct, and that the target is available.
