As a Bot When I can a User vote I should be informed if the vote ended

joaopapereira commented 8 years ago

To simplify this my idea was:

HTTP_STATUS == 200, When the vote is successfull and the voting still open
HTTP_STATUS == 201, When the vote is successfull and the voting ended with consensus
HTTP_STATUS == 202, When the vote is successfull and the voting ended without consensus

I think that overloading the standard HTTP codes is not a good idea.

For instance:

201 Created The request has been fulfilled, resulting in the creation of a new resource.

So the api should return a 201 every time a new vote is created.
