UiPath-ADAv1 API-Based Automation Practice Question
When an API returns a 204 No Content status code, what does this signify in your UiPath automation workflow?
⚠ Common exam trap
Candidates often assume a 204 status code indicates an error or a failed request, leading them to unnecessarily include error handling logic for a perfectly successful API operation.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
The request was successful, but there is no payload body.
A 204 No Content status code is the server's way of indicating that the request was successful but there is no body data to return. This is common for successful 'DELETE' or 'PUT' operations. In UiPath, checking for this code is vital to prevent deserialization errors, as trying to deserialize an empty string will result in an exception in the JSON parser activity.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
The request failed due to a server-side error.
Why it's wrong here
Status codes in the 5xx range indicate server-side failures. A 204 status code belongs to the 2xx success range, meaning the action was performed correctly by the server. It is not an error but an informative message about the response state, confirming the operation succeeded without returning payload data.
- ✓
The request was successful, but there is no payload body.
Why this is correct
A 204 code confirms that the server successfully processed the request and that the client does not need to expect any content in the response body. This allows the developer to skip deserialization steps, preventing errors and ensuring the automation correctly identifies the operation as complete without needing data parsing.
- ✗
The request is unauthorized and needs a new token.
Why it's wrong here
Unauthorized requests return a 401 status code. A 204 is a success code, indicating that the client's credentials were valid and the action was carried out. It does not indicate any issue with the authentication layer or the validity of the token used during the request process.
- ✗
The API endpoint has been deprecated or removed.
Why it's wrong here
If an endpoint is removed or invalid, the server will return a 404 Not Found error. A 204 status implies that the endpoint exists, was reached correctly, and the requested action was successfully executed by the server-side application logic, just without the return of a standard response data body.
