Insolvency API - what represents zero company insolvencies?

Endpoint: GET https://api.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/{company_number}/insolvency

Could someone from CompaniesHouse please answer this:
Does this response indicate that there are NO company insolvency events? OR, is this not a safe conclusion?

Request
GET /company/XXXXXXXX/insolvency HTTP/1.1
Host: api.companieshouse.gov.ukundefined

Response status
404 error

Response body

{
  "errors": [
    {
      "type": "ch:service",
      "error": "company-insolvencies-not-found"
    }
  ]
}

Searching through the forum, I’ve noticed that this endpoint has the behaviour of returning a 200 with a null response. When this happens, it’s suggested that this can be interpreted as ‘no company insolvency’ events. So I’m trying to get a more definitive understanding of what response represents zero company insolvencies

There are indicators in the company profile ‘has_insolvency_history’ and ‘links. insolvency’.
The Beta site uses this “links” section to determine what ‘tabs’ to display.

Thanks again for your help Mark. Sounds like the absence of the ‘insolvency’ link is confirmation that the company has no insolvency events, is my understanding correct?
