I'm a Teapot

4xx Client Error

An April Fools' joke from 1998. The server refuses to brew coffee.

418 I'm a Teapot comes from the Hyper Text Coffee Pot Control Protocol, an April Fools' RFC from 1998. It's not a real error you'll hit in normal use, but it survives as an Easter egg and some APIs return it as a playful 'no' or to mark a blocked request.

About 4xx Client Error

The request has a problem the client needs to fix, like a bad URL, missing auth, or invalid input.
