200 OK

What it means

The standard success response. What "success" means depends on the method: a GET returns the resource, a POST returns the result of the action, a PUT/PATCH usually returns the updated representation or confirmation.

Common causes

• The request succeeded — but verify the body is what you expect
• Some APIs wrap errors inside 200 responses ({"error": ...}) — check the payload, not just the status

Reproduce it in cURL

curl -i https://httpbin.org/get

Same request, no terminal: paste this into the cURL converter for native code, or straight into ReqPad on your phone.

How to debug it

A 200 with an unexpected body (e.g. an HTML error page from a proxy) is a classic trap — always check the response content, not just the status.

The fastest way to pin down a 200 is to reproduce the exact request and inspect what actually went over the wire — status, headers, timing and body, without your app code in the way. That is what an API client is for; ReqPad does it from your phone, with every request saved to history.
