All status and error codes

With Telesign APIs you need to code against the status or error codes that come back in the content of responses, rather than using the HTTP status code.

Status codes in Telesign APIs are three- or four-digits long. Error codes are five digits long.

A transaction with an intermediate code may resolve to another status later. One with a final code will not change status in the future.
