Common response parameters
API responses use the HTTP response format. Responses can be returned in either the
JSON or XML format. You can specify the response format in the request. The default
response format is JSON. Each response includes a unique request ID that is indicated
by the RequestId parameter regardless of whether the call is successful.
- A
2xx
HTTP status code indicates a successful call. - A
4xx
or5xx
HTTP status code indicates a failed call.

- JSON format
