Wrong response status code if UID doesn't exist

[NadChel]

Hey! I checked your OpenAPI, and it seems to be incorrect. I tried a few endpoints, and in all cases I got a 500. For example, I hit:

• https://stapi.co/api/v1/rest/animal?uid=1
• https://stapi.co/api/v1/rest/astronomicalObject?uid=1
• https://stapi.co/api/v2/rest/astronomicalObject?uid=1
• https://stapi.co/api/v1/rest/book?uid=1

I realize it's a volunteer project so I don't have any complaints, but I figured you should be informed 🙂

where did you obtain the uid? for example: https://stapi.co/api/v1/rest/animal?uid=ANMA0000028270

I don't believe 500 is an appropriate status code if no record with a given id (e.g. 1) exists

gotcha, yeah 404 would be more appropriate. sorry, should have read title not just description

Don't worry, I edited the title just a few hours back. It used to be more generic
