title1) HTTP Status

The status includes standardized codes and messages for certain request outcomes. When working with web services you’ll commonly see:

  • 200 OK success message

  • 400 Client errors (e.g., 404 Not Found meaning the resource is missing or doesnt doesn't exist); or

  • 500 Server errors (e.g, 503 Service Unavailable) 

In the above screenshot, the status code of 201 means resource was successfully created.

title2) Header

The header contains information about the response - this doesn’t actually contain the response itself. . A response header table is returned where you can access information about the response.
