Hi @Sai kumar123 ,

You cannot directly access the HTTP status code of the incoming request because the framework does not expose this information in the request object. The request object is primarily used to access details like headers, query parameters, body content, etc.

Status code concept applies to responses sent back to the client, not the request itself. The server (ServiceNow) is responsible for determining and setting the response status code based on the logic implemented in your API.
