In Stripe API responses, what does a 4004 NOT FOUND status indicate?

• A. The API request was successful.
• B. The API request is unauthorized.
• C. The API request timed out.
• D. I can't find what you're looking for.

Answer: (D)

Not Found indicates the resource you requested cannot be located. In Stripe responses, this happens when the specific object ID you’re asking for doesn’t exist, has been deleted, or the path is incorrect. It’s a client error in the 4xx range, meaning the problem is on the request side, not a successful call, not an authentication issue, and not a timeout. The natural-language interpretation that fits this status is “I can’t find what you’re looking for,” since it conveys that the exact resource can’t be located. The other descriptions describe success, unauthorized access, or a timeout, which don’t match Not Found.
