HTTP status codes / 2xx — Success

203 Non-Authoritative Information

In one sentence

Success, but the payload was modified by a transforming proxy.

What it means

The response is a 200-style success whose metadata or body was transformed by an intermediary (e.g. a caching proxy that rewrote headers). Rare in modern APIs.

Common causes

How to debug it

If you see 203 unexpectedly, look at what sits between you and the origin — usually a proxy.

The fastest way to pin down a 203 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.
