abstract:: You've successfully built an XMLHttpRequest or fetch client, but now your api is returning weird numbers. What do they all mean?! This lighning talk will cover all of the weird -- but useful! -- http status codes that you're likely to encounter during everyday API usage. The talk will answer questions like:

Success doesn't always mean the same thing: 200, 201, 202, 204
Redirecting with 300, 301, 302, 307 and 308
Caching status codes (304)
What is the difference between 401 and 403?
What's in a 404?
Conflict resolution (409)
Why twitter is full of stoners (status code 420, 429).
The importance of coffee (418)
