@pavelkomarov You can return specific status with jsonify by returning a tuple like this for example:

return jsonify({"error": "Unauthorized"}), 401

If you have your API code in a blueprint, you can also do this I believe

@blueprint_api.errorhandler(404)
def not_found(error):
    return make_response(jsonify({'error': 'Sorry, board not found'}), 404)

The good thing here is that any other requests outside of the blueprint will continue to see the normal 404 page
