422 Unprocessable Content

Look up a status, pick the right one for an API, or hit a live endpoint that actually returns it. Add ?code=418 to this URL and the response is that status — useful for curl, interceptors, and “what does my client do on 503?” Nothing here phones home except the Try it fetch to this same page.
