HTTP/Quandl error codes

The Quandl API returns standard HTTP status codes to indicate the success or failure of all requests.

  • A 2XX response indicates that the request was processed successfully.

  • A 4XX response indicates that there was something wrong with the request.

  • A 5XX response indicates that the server encountered an error while processing the request.

In addition to HTTP status codes, the Quandl API returns custom error messages for specific error types. These are tabulated below:
