What does a response code of 204 signify in Dynatrace API?

A response code of 204 signifies "No Content" in the context of the Dynatrace API. This means that the server has successfully processed the request, but there is no content to send back in the response body. This status is often used when the action requested has been successfully completed, such as a successful deletion of a resource or an update that does not require sending any response data back to the client.

The relevance of this code in API interactions is significant, as it indicates that the request was understood, processed, and fulfilled successfully, but there is simply no additional information to convey. This allows for efficient communication where the client understands that the operation was successful without needing further details.

In contrast, other response codes indicate different outcomes: "Created" typically refers to a 201 status code, "OK" corresponds to a 200 status, and "Too Many Requests" would be represented by a 429 status.
