What does HTTP 410 Gone mean?

The resource is permanently gone and no forwarding address is known. Unlike 404, it is an intentional signal that the resource was removed on purpose and will not return.

4xx responses indicate the request was faulty: bad syntax, missing authentication, or a resource that does not exist. The fix usually lives on the client/request side.

Common causes

Content was deliberately and permanently removed
A discontinued API endpoint or product
