The Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is an application layer protocol in the Internet protocol suite model for distributed, collaborative, hypermedia information systems.

HTTP is the foundation of data communication for the World Wide Web, where hypertext documents include hyperlinks to other resources that a user can easily access, e.g., by a mouse click or by tapping the screen in a web browser.

The API returns standard HTTP success or error status codes.

HTTP status codes are classified as follows:

Code Range

Description

Code Range

Description

100-199

200-299

300-399

400-499

500-599

The various HTTP status codes that might be returned are listed below:

Code

Name

Description

Code

Name

Description

201

The request succeeded and a new resource was created as a result.
The transaction was successfully created.

400

The server cannot or will not process the request due to something that is perceived to be a client error (e.g., malformed request syntax, invalid request message framing, or deceptive request routing).
The request failed, as the transaction is its final state.

401

Although the HTTP standard specifies “unauthorized”, semantically this response means “unauthenticated”. That is, the client must authenticate itself to get the requested response.
The request failed authentication.

404

The server cannot find the requested resource. In a browser, this means the URL is not recognised. In an API, this can also mean that the endpoint is valid but the resource itself does not exist.
The transaction does not exist.

500

There was a server side error.
The server has encountered a situation that it does not know how to handle.


The mandate states are classified as follows:

State

Description

Description

Cancelled

Active

Declined
