HTTP status code 200 — OK
Quick answer

Default success for GET; the body usually contains the resource representation.
200 means the server understood the request and returned a successful response. For APIs, treat it as “ok with a body,” unlike 204.
Common causes
- Normal successful GET/PUT/PATCH
- A framework default when a handler returns without setting a status
- A health-check endpoint reporting healthy
How to fix it
Nothing to fix — if you expected an error and got 200, check the response body/schema instead of the status code.
