How to use HTTP Status Codes
Get the best out of HTTP Status Codes: every option explained, a worked example, and what to check when the output is not what you expected.
Updated August 1, 2026
What it does
Search and read server response headers, specs, and status definitions from 100 to 599. It runs entirely in your browser — your input never leaves your device.
Options
Every setting this tool exposes, straight from the code that validates it.
| Option | Type | Default | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|
code | whole number | — | A specific status code to look up. |
query | text | — | Filter by title/category. Ignored when code is given. |
Worked example
Run these settings on the tool page:
No settings needed — paste your input and go.
You get:
{
"count": 24,
"results": [
{
"code": 100,
"title": "Continue",
"category": "1xx Informational",
"desc": "The server has received the request headers and the client should proceed to send the request body."
},
{
"code": 101,
"title": "Switching Protocols",
"category": "1xx Informational",
"desc": "The requester has asked the server to switch protocols and the server has agreed to do so."
},
{
"code": 200,
"title": "OK",
"category": "2xx Success",
"desc": "Standard response for successful HTTP reques

Getting the result you want
Most of the control here is in the options above. If the output is not what you expected, the setting to check first is code and query — those change the shape of the output rather than the input it accepts.
Troubleshooting
- It is slow on very large input. Everything runs in your browser, so speed depends on your device. Very large inputs are best split up, or run through the API where the work happens on our servers.
Automating it
The same logic is available as a REST endpoint, so you can run it from a script, a CI job or your own app.
Bashcurl "https://api.toolsxpo.com/v1/http-status-codes" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOOLSXPO_KEY"
It costs 1 credit per successful call. See the full endpoint reference, or try it in the playground.
