Success
201 201 Created
The request succeeded and something new exists as a result — normally a record created through an API. The response usually carries a Location header pointing at the new resource.
Common causes
- Returned by REST APIs after a successful POST.
How to fix it
- No action needed. If you are building an API, prefer 201 over 200 for creation so clients can tell the difference.
