HTTP Status Codes

HTTP 202 Accepted

202 Accepted

The server accepted the request for processing, but the work has not completed yet.

202 Acceptedgeneral

Observed message

202 Accepted

Why it happens

  • The request completed successfully according to the semantics of this status code.
  • The server selected a more specific success response based on the method, resource state, or negotiation result.
  • An API, framework, or intermediary intentionally returned this success code to describe a more precise outcome.

How to fix it

  1. Confirm that the status code matches the behavior your client or integration expects.
  2. Review related headers such as Location, Content-Range, ETag, or DAV metadata where relevant.
  3. If the success code is unexpected, inspect application logic, API contract, and intermediary behavior.
