FAQ
- Q: What HTTP status code ranges are covered?
- A: 1xx (Informational), 2xx (Success), 3xx (Redirection), 4xx (Client Error), and 5xx (Server Error). All standard IANA-registered codes are included, plus common non-standard codes like 429 (Too Many Requests) and 503 (Service Unavailable).
- Q: Can I search by keyword instead of code number?
- A: Yes. Searching "not found" returns 404, "redirect" returns 301/302/307/308, and so on. The search matches both the code number and the status description.
- Q: What is the difference between 301 and 302 redirects?
- A: 301 (Moved Permanently) tells browsers and search engines the resource has moved forever β the new URL should be cached and indexed. 302 (Found / Temporary Redirect) indicates a temporary move; the original URL should still be used in future requests.
- Q: When should an API return 400 vs 422?
- A: 400 (Bad Request) is for malformed syntax or invalid input that cannot be parsed. 422 (Unprocessable Entity) indicates the request is syntactically valid but semantically incorrect β such as a missing required field or an invalid value type.
- Q: Does this tool require a network connection?
- A: No. The status code database is bundled with the tool and works entirely offline in the browser.
