Success responses

When a request is successful, Paddle returns a data object or array with a 2xx HTTP response code. List endpoints return a data array and metadata object with pagination information.

The Paddle API always returns requested entities in a data object or array. In most cases, it also returns a meta object with information about the request, including pagination information for list operations.

Success responses return a 2xx response code.

When there's an error, the API returns an error object instead. Errors return a 4xx or 5xx response code.
