Return code for commands given to alexa-remote-control

I'm afraid there is no such thing as a response code for Alexa's replys.
After all it's an asynchrounous request. In most cases you can query some property you intended to change and check for the intended result (e.g. turning up the volume).

There's also the prompt-history (which is currently undergoing massive changes) that might indicate how Alexa responded to a request.

If it is indeed the API HTTP result code (normally HTTP/200) you want to check, then you'd have to use curl's -w "%{http_code}" and redirect the StdOut to some other file descriptor or file:

response=/tmp/response.txt
error=$(curl -s -X GET -w "%{http_code}" -o "${response}" "https://api.example.org"
echo "HTTP response code is: ${error}"
echo "Response content is:"
cat $response
