About HTTP Status Codes

HTTP status codes are three-digit numbers that a server returns in response to a client's request. The first digit classifies the response: 1xx for informational, 2xx for success, 3xx for redirection, 4xx for client errors, and 5xx for server errors. This system was introduced in HTTP/1.0 (RFC 1945, 1996) and continues through HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 today.

The most frequently encountered codes in practice are 200 (OK), 201 (Created), 301 (Moved Permanently), 302 (Found), 400 (Bad Request), 401 (Unauthorized), 403 (Forbidden), 404 (Not Found), and 500 (Internal Server Error). Understanding subtle distinctions — like 401 vs 403 (authentication failure vs authorization denial) or 301 vs 302 (permanent vs temporary redirect) — is essential for correct API design and SEO.

This tool lists all standard HTTP status codes from 1xx to 5xx, organized by category tabs with real-time search by code number or name. Click any code to copy it to the clipboard. Use it as a quick reference while designing REST APIs, debugging server responses, or learning web development.

Common Use Cases
  • ▸Look up the exact meaning of an unfamiliar HTTP status code
  • ▸Reference correct status codes when designing REST APIs
  • ▸Debug HTTP errors returned by servers or third-party APIs
  • ▸Verify correct use of redirect codes (301 vs 302 vs 307 vs 308)
  • ▸Check authentication error distinctions (401 vs 403)
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What is the difference between 401 and 403?
401 Unauthorized means authentication is required or has failed — the server doesn't know who you are. 403 Forbidden means authentication succeeded but the authenticated user does not have permission to access the resource — the server knows who you are but won't let you in.
Q. When should I use 301 vs 302 vs 307 vs 308?
301 (Moved Permanently) and 308 (Permanent Redirect) are for permanent URL changes — search engines transfer link equity to the new URL. 302 (Found) and 307 (Temporary Redirect) are for temporary redirects — search engines keep indexing the original URL. The key difference between 301/302 and 307/308 is that 307/308 preserve the HTTP method (e.g. POST stays POST), while 301/302 historically changed POST to GET.
Q. Is 418 I'm a Teapot a real HTTP status code?
Yes — it was defined in RFC 2324 as an April Fools' joke in 1998 and is registered in the IANA HTTP Status Code Registry. It is occasionally used in real APIs as a humorous rejection response. It is not intended for production use per the spec, but it's technically valid and widely recognized.
