Every status code except 200 is considered an error and you will get a message in the response JSON explaining the error.

Sample non-200 response:

```json theme={null}
    {
        "error": {
            "summary": "verification_type: This field is required.",
            "fields": {
                "verification_type": [
                    "This field is required."
                ]
            }
        }
    }
```
