Responses are returned as JSON in **text frames**, one response per frame.

Example of successful response:

### Status codes[​](https://developers.binance.com/docs/binance-spot-api-docs/testnet/websocket-api/response-format)

Status codes in the `status` field are the same as in HTTP.

Here are some common status codes that you might encounter:

-   `200` indicates a successful response.
-   `4XX` status codes indicate invalid requests; the issue is on your side.
    -   `400` – your request failed, see `error` for the reason.
    -   `403` – you have been blocked by the Web Application Firewall. This can indicate a rate limit violation or a security block. See [https://www.binance.com/en/support/faq/detail/360004492232](https://www.binance.com/en/support/faq/detail/360004492232) for more details.
    -   `409` – your request partially failed but also partially succeeded, see `error` for details.
    -   `418` – you have been auto-banned for repeated violation of rate limits.
    -   `429` – you have exceeded API request rate limit, please slow down.
-   `5XX` status codes indicate internal errors; the issue is on Binance's side.
    -   **Important:** If a response contains 5xx status code, it **does not** necessarily mean that your request has failed. Execution status is _unknown_ and the request might have actually succeeded. Please use query methods to confirm the status. You might also want to establish a new WebSocket connection for that.

See [Error codes for Binance](https://developers.binance.com/docs/binance-spot-api-docs/testnet/errors) for a list of error codes and messages.
