StartExam API returns Json Content-Type responses.
You should specify Accept header application/json to get responses in json.
Accept: application/json; charset=utf-8
Every API call returns one of the following HTTP status codes:
| HTTP Status Code | Description |
|---|---|
| 200 OK | Indicates success |
| 400 Bad Request | The request had bad syntax or was inherently impossible to be satisfied |
| 403 Forbidden | The request is forbidden because HTTP Date header or Authorization header is incorrect |
| 404 Not Found | The server has not found requested resource |
| 500 Internal Server Error | The server encountered an unexpected condition which prevented it from fulfilling the request |
In case of client errors (400, 403, 404) the server returns a message with the description and possible reasons of the error.
Response example:
HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden
Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8
Content-Length: 80
{
"message": "HTTP header 'Date' is incorrect: it's older than 15 minutes"
}To fix client errors during the development use the error code and message provided in a reponse. Also don't forget to follow the latest changes in the StartExam API documentation and examples.
In case of server errors (500) or any bugs and gaps found in the documentation please submit your problem to our support team: support@startexam.com
