# API errors
Typesense API uses standard HTTP response codes to indicate the success or failure of a request.
Codes in the 2xx range indicate success, codes in the 4xx range indicate an error given the information provided (e.g. a required parameter was omitted), and codes in the 5xx range indicate an error with the Typesense service itself.
