Description
There are error codes for each entity to indicate no results are found for a query (e.g. for flows). I was wondering why the choice was made to work with error codes here instead of an empty list?

Research direction
Start by reading the linked flows example in openml_OS/views/pages/api_new/v1/xml/pre.php and inspect how the API represents no-result responses for each entity. The issue does not define a requested behavior or acceptance criteria, so a maintainer decision about error codes versus empty lists is needed before implementation can be considered done.
