Change Notification - New Error Codes for Pages

New error codes are being introduced to the Verity API Page endpoint. These error codes are derived from HTTP status codes received by Page Content Extractor when it attempts to download web pages and are meant to provide clearer reasons for failures. This change will be released on March 21, 2023.

Please Note: These status codes are not returned through a callback and the only way to access them is on a subsequent request to Verity API.
