API Responses
XCover uses conventional HTTP response codes to indicate the success or failure of API requests. Error codes ranging from 200 to 299 indicate successful operations. Error codes ranging from 400 to 499 represent various error codes. Errors that can be resolved programmatically will result in an error code that briefly explains the error type and the reason for failure. 5xx codes indicate an unexpected error within the XCover application. In the unlikely event of a 5xx error, our engineering team will automatically receive a notification and will fix the issue as fast as possible.
