Why does Status Codes exist?
Status Codes is a simple easy to use service that returns the requested HTTP Status code. The project was originally developed to help me better understand Cloudflare Workers, their capabilities and continuous deployment from GitHub. While there are other services, I do not believe there are any that are as responsive globally as Status Codes, due to the deployment of the site on the edge of Cloudflare's network.
Making A Request
To make a request simply add the status code to the end of the url, for example https://statuscodes.peth.me/200.
By default a GET request will return a body with the status code name, i.e. "200 OK". If you would like no body returned simply add ?body=flase to the end of the url, for example https://statuscodes.peth.me/200?body=flase
Random Response
When building applications they must be able to deal with an unexpected response. For this reason there there is a 'random' request type.
Supported Request Types
Status Codes supports GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE, COPY, HEAD, OPTIONS, LOCK, UNLOCK and PROPFIND request types.

FAQs
Why don't you support 1xx status codes?
Status Codes is run using Cloudflare Workers. Unfortunately they limit the allowed status code returns to 200-599. If a request is made to any 1xx pages a 501 Not Implemented status will be returned.
What monitoring is in place to ensure Status Codes is working correctly?
All endpoints are regularly tested to ensure it is returning the expected results, using Postman. All endpoints are tested at a minimum weekly, with some tested every 5 minutes.
Are requests tracked?
Status Codes is built on-top of Cloudflare Workers. Cloudflare provides limited analytics on the total number of request made, country and requests blocked. No tracking outside what is required by Cloudflare is conducted.
Are there any usage limitations?
There are no hard defined usage limitations for Status Codes by Sam Petherbridge. The services is hosted by Cloudflare and is thus subject to their normal protections.
