Responses

There are four categories of search responses:

• The results response - response with one or more search results records.
• The no results response - response when no search result records were found.
• The request for clarification response - response when a search was ambiguous and needs clarification, most commonly when a location such as a city is incompletely described in the search request. A list of possible alternatives is provided in this response.
• The error response - response with an error message, such as a required parameter was missing.

Each of these responses share a common Data Dictionary which describes the elements that may be returned by the WPAPI.
