HTTP HLR Responses

When you make an HTTP HLR request, the server will send a response back to you showing whether your request was successful or not.

A successful response will look like:

OK [uniqueID]

Where [uniqueID] is the ID of the HLR query you made, which you can use to find the results of your query. For example: OK 789511.

An unsuccessful response will look like:

ERR [ErrorType] [ErrorDescription]

Where [ErrorType] is either FAIL, in which case there was an error with the request which needs attention before being retried, or RETRY in which case there was a temporary error and you should retry your request in one or two minutes.

If you receive a FAIL error type, you can use [ErrorDescription] to help identify and correct the problem. For a list of all [ErrorDescription] values and possible solutions, please see the I'm Receiving An Error, What Does This Mean? article.

An example unsuccessful response might look like: ERR FAIL Invalid Username or Password.
