Summary

This is to be a standard for Response Codes from backend endpoints. Response codes range from

Sucess ( 200 - 299 )
Redirect ( 300 - 399 )
Client Errors ( 400 - 499 )
Server Errors ( 500 - 599 ) 400 & 500 Errors are General/Unknown Errors -- all others have known causes

Status Codes:

Please see documentation if you have questions about implementation

Code	Constant	Reason Phrase
200	Responding Properly	Used for Sucess messages that don't do anything else but respond successfully
201	Created	Used for [POST] to denote that something was created
299	Deprecated API	Propsed status code for deprecated API use ONLY

Code	Constant	Reason Phrase
400	Bad Request	Something has gone wrong on the database.
401	Unauthorized	User does not have an Authorization Token to enter the server
403	Forbidden	User has a means of Auth (token), but not the correct Auth for this endpoint use
404	Not Found	The server cannot find the requested resource (i.e the endpoint is not valid). Use this instead of a 403 if we want to disguise the fact that the endpoint does exist, but the user does not have access.
406	Unacceptable User Input	User is attempting to [POST] something and it fails.
407	Third Party Error	Can use this to show that there is something happening with a Third Party service
408	Timeout	Server times out after 'x' amount of time.
418	Teapot Fun	Easter eggs for developers to learn about

Code	Constant	Reason Phrase
500	Internal Server Error	The server has encountered a situation it does not know how to handle.
503	Service Unavailable	The server is down for maintenance or is overloaded. Please try again later.

Code	Constant	Reason Phrase
302	Found	The endpoint that is being requested does exist. This is usually followed up with one of the redirects below.
307	Temporary Redirect	The endpoint that is being requested is underconstruction. Normally preceeded by a 302.
308	Permanent Redirect	The endpoint that is requested here is located in another URI -- used to be here, but not anymore. Please dont change the [POST] endpoint, but your [GET] is incorrect and needs changing.

Code	Cases
200	General Successful response code.
201	Successful response code for newly created request
299	Successful, Deprecated Resource
302	No use cases for this so far
307	No use cases for this so far
308	No use cases for this so far
