← All HTTP status codes
200
OK
The request succeeded. The standard response for successful HTTP requests.
The 2xx class
2xx, Success. The request was received, understood and accepted. 200 OK is the default; APIs also use 201 for creation and 204 for empty responses.
Monitoring for this code
A 2xx is the expected outcome, but "returns 200" alone doesn't prove the API is healthy. Pair status checks with response assertions (body fields, latency budgets) so a 200 with a broken payload still raises an alert.
