HTTP 202 Accepted

What is HTTP 202 Accepted?

The 202 (Accepted) status code indicates that the request has been accepted for processing, but the processing has not been completed. The request might or might not eventually be acted upon, as it might be disallowed when processing actually takes place. This is useful for asynchronous operations where the server cannot process the request immediately.

Common Use Cases

• Asynchronous job queue submission
• Batch processing requests
• Background task initiation

// Laravel - accepting a job for async processing
$job = dispatch(new GenerateReportJob($request->input()))
    ->onQueue('reports');

return response()->json([
    'status_url' => route('reports.status', $job->id),
], 202);
