How do I handle status codes in APIs?

Handling status codes in APIs is crucial for understanding the response from the server. Common codes include 200 for success, 404 for not found, and 500 for server errors. Would you like to know how to implement error handling?

Yes, how can I implement error handling for these codes?

You can implement error handling by checking the status code in your API response. For example, if you receive a 404, you can display a user-friendly message or redirect the user. Would you like to see some code examples?

That would be great! Can you show me a code example?

Sure! Here's a simple example in JavaScript using fetch:

fetch('https://api.example.com/data')
  .then(response => {
    if (!response.ok) {
      throw new Error('Network response was not ok ' + response.status);
    }
    return response.json();
  })
  .then(data => console.log(data))
  .catch(error => console.error('There was a problem with your fetch operation:', error));
