Option to return "no breaches found" in json body, rather than simply a 404 status
It would be good to be able to return something in the json body when no breaches are found for an account.
A parameter to enable this message would be great.
I'm working with a 3rd party software to pull data, and doesn't expose the status in an accessible way.
(I would have thought a 204 status would have made more sense?)
HTTP 404 is the semantically correct response code, there’s no reason to include anything further in the body. Sounds like a deficiency with the product you’re using if it’s unable to interpret response codes correctly.

It is a dataviz tool so it generally expects to have data returned, not what it would see as primarily an error message.
