All requests to User Admin API endpoints return standard HTTP headers, including the response status code, and a response body in JSON format.

Success response code and parameters

Successful requests return a 200 Success code with a JSON object in the response body.

Responses from endpoints that can return multiple resources contain a meta item in the response body. The meta item appears at the start of the response and contains the following parameters:

  • page. The current requested page. The first page of results is page 0.
  • count. The count of the items returned for a specific request. If we have the same or more as the limit the value matches the same value.
  • pageCount. The number of pages that result from the specified limit.
  • totalCount. The total number of items that we can retrieve from the API.
{
  "meta": {
    "page": 0,
    "count": 25,
    "pageCount": 8,
    "totalCount": 200
  },
  "items": [
    ...

}

Response codes and errors

HTTP headers include:

  "message": "Appropriate 400 error message"
