I can’t seem to see the response status code for calls made to Cumulocity when carrying out a number of operations such as creating a measurement, alarm, event and updating an inventory managed object.

For example, to create a measurement, I have written the following:

`const { data, res } = await c8yClients.measurement.create(measurementBody);`

However when I observe the data and res values from a successful call, I am unable to obtain the status code `201` as defined in the API documentation here: [Cumulocity - OpenAPI](https://cumulocity.com/api/core/#operation/postMeasurementCollectionResource)

I know that we can obtain the status code when using the .core.fetch method in the web sdk as follows:

`const res = await c8yClients.core.fetch(URL,...)`

But as you can see, it is using the .core.fetch. of the web sdk, for which I can obtain the status in the response via `res.status`. Is this the only way to get the response status code?

I just tried this out myself and I can get the `res.status` from the `client.measurement.create()` function returns the HTTP status code of the API request.

Maybe you’re running into some other issue with the code.

Below is a snippet that I used:

```auto
async function main() {
  const auth = new BearerAuth(process.env["C8Y_TOKEN"]);
  let baseUrl = process.env["C8Y_HOST"];
  if (!baseUrl?.startsWith("http://") && !baseUrl?.startsWith("https://")) {
    baseUrl = `https://${baseUrl}`;
  }
  const client = new Client(auth, baseUrl);
  const mandantoryObject = {
    sourceId: 3449597721,
    fragment: { series: { unit: "%", value: 51 } }
  };
  const { data, res } = await client.measurement.create(mandantoryObject);
  console.log("response", {status: res.status});
}
(async () => {
  await main();
})();

```

**Output**

```auto
response { status: 201 }

```
