# Errors
The help desk's API uses conventional HTTP response codes to indicate the success or failure of an API request. Response codes in the 2xx
range indicates success. Codes in the 4xx
range indicates a failure due issues on the request provided (e.g., required parameter is missing, maximum parameter length reached, etc). Codes in the 5xx
range indicates a server side error, if you are using the self-hosted application, you should check your app's log files to see what happened.
Here's a list of all the HTTP codes used and their meaning:

200 | Success -- Everything went smoothly. |
201 | Created -- Resource was created successfully. |
