Method uses conventional HTTP response codes to indicate the success or failure of an API request. In general: Codes in the 2xx range indicate success. Codes in the 4xx range indicate an error occurred with the information provided (e.g., a required parameter was omitted, a resource was not found, etc.). Codes in the 5xx range indicate an error occurred within Method’s servers.
