The UPS tracking API has a similar issue, when it doesn't find a tracking number it returns 200 and an API response with the not found error inside. The documentation even states that the API does return 404 in that case. A github issue about that mismatch is open for over a year already: https://github.com/UPS-API/api-documentation/issues/166
