Response
Successes
Any response with an HTTP status code within the 200 range means that the API is processed successfully.
Errors
A response with an HTTP status code in the 400 or 500 range means that the request failed to be processed.
400 range: error due to information provided with the request (ex: missing a required parameter).
500 range: error due to a problem associated with the server.
When an error occurs, expect the following response.
id : A unique ID to identify the error.

title : Provide the contents of the error in human-readable form.
correlation_id : Points to the ID of the request associated with the error.
