This might be a dumb question: but how I can setup the success of an HTTP request to Success or Failed based on the HTTP Response Status Code?
I get responses with 500 and 400 response codes and they are marked as success. I looked at the available assertion options and for HTTP requests they seem to be dealing mostly just with the http response body.
No worries! This is a very common question. You have two options to mark HTTP requests as Failed based on status codes:
Response Validation (Recommended):
Custom Script Assertions：
pm.test in custom scripts to create your own assertionsFor more details, check our documentation: Validate responses - Apidog Docs
very nice - thank you much for the quick and comprehensive response. I will dig into this.
The “Validate Response in Run and Debug Case” option is missing in our Project Settings. We are under the Professional plan. Is Enterprise needed?
Therefore I can’t find a way to achieve my goal by using option 1.
Also I want to specify that the Tests I am talking about needing the Success/Failure validation setting based on Http Status Code are not generated from/referencing to Endpoints in the Default Module.
Hello! Thank you for the detailed explanation. Let me confirm your scenario: you added a step directly via “Add HTTP request” in Tests, rather than importing or applying an existing API from Endpoint or Endpoint debug case.
If that’s the case, we recommend using Method 2 to solve this. You can create script assertions in custom scripts using pm.test syntax, as shown in the image below.

yes, indeed that is what I did. Ok, I will try method 2
