Obviously I don't know your product, but that just sounds like an endpoint that exposes a join table.
Any time I see status code sidestepping, it informs me that something more basic has been skipped earlier. "The monitoring is firing too often because of 404 errors, we should make this endpoint send back a 200 all the time so we stop being bothered by errors that are not errors" reads to me like curing a symptom.
- ozim 2y agoTo be more concrete we have 2 separate applications that you can use together. First app can display a link to document in second app if document is there. What we do is checking via API if document exists - show the link to open it. Only if user would try to open the link 404 would be correct. Checking if app should show the link 200 with true/false makes much more sense.
