When calling the API through an HTTP XML request, CommonSpot returns a status code for each command in the command collection. See XML Results Structure for more information.

If a method throws an error when being called natively from ColdFusion code, the status code is returned as part of the CFCATCH structure. If the method is successful, you can assume that the status code is 200 OK. For more information, see Error Handling and Status Codes.
