# Troubleshooting and error handling

The Make API uses standard HTTP error codes in combination with custom Make error codes.

In general:

* a response status code `2xx` means succesfull request
* a response status code `4xx` means error on the client side
* a response status code `5xx` means error on the server side (internal error in Make)

For more information, check detailed overview of error types and their possible causes in the [dedicated section](/api-documentation/troubleshooting/http-status-codes.md).

For general troubleshooting tips, check out the [Troubleshooting](/api-documentation/troubleshooting/common-issues.md) section.
