Response

What Is a "Response”?

A "response" is the information sent back from a server to a client after the client makes a request. When you use an API, you typically send a request to a server asking for certain data or to perform an action. The server processes that request and then sends back a response, which includes the data or information you asked for, or details about the action you wanted to be performed.

A response usually contains a status code, headers, and a body:

• Status Code: This is a three-digit number that tells you if the request was successful (like 200 for "OK") or if there was an issue (like 404 for "Not Found").
• Headers: These provide additional information about the response, such as the type of data being returned.
• Body: This is the main part of the response, containing the data you requested, usually in a format like JSON or XML.

In simple terms, the response is how the server talks back to you, letting you know whether your request was successful and providing the information or results you need.
