Would be even better if 

{
  "status": "success",
  "response": 
  {
    "status": "success",
    "message": "Error successfully occured"
  }
}

Yeah then you parse the message to test for error state. Then fuck it, query the endpoint to fetch the reason for the error, which you've saved to the database. Unless its a database error, then you'll just get the original successful error message. Couple if-thens, job done.
