# Errors

Malomo uses conventional HTTP response codes to indicate success or failure of an API request. In general: Codes in the `2xx` range indicate success. Codes in the `4xx` range indicates that a request failed with the information provided. Codes in the `5xx` range indicate an error with Malomo's servers.

| HTTP STATUS CODE                   |                                           |

| 200 - OK                           | Everything worked as expected             |
| 400 - Bad Request                  | The request couldn't be completed         |
| 401 - Unauthorized                 | No valid API key was provided             |
| 404 - Not Found                    | The requested resource could not be found |
| 500, 502, 503, 504 - Server Errors | We screwed up. Sorry!                     |
