The response may contain more or fewer. ## Responses - 200: Page of posts; a page without posts carries the cursor of the next one - 400: Query missing or blank, a parameter outside the accepted set, or a cursor that cannot continue this search Refused at the gateway: the request target, path and query string together, is longer than 8,192 bytes; or the headers, the target counted among them, exceed 16,384 bytes or 64 fields - 401: #/components/responses/GatewayUnauthorized - 402: #/components/responses/GatewayPaymentRequired - 403: X answered with the error of a suspended account Refused at the gateway: the API key is unknown or revoked - 404: X answered that the search is not there, or nothing matched and no cursor leads to a next page - 405: `method_not_allowed`: the endpoint answers GET alone, and any other method, HEAD included, is refused Refused at the gateway: the path exists, but no operation on it takes the method of the request, HEAD included; `Allow` names the methods that do - 409: #/components/responses/GatewayConflict - 429: #/components/responses/GatewayTooManyRequests - 500: The requested information could not be read; this does not establish that the object is absent - 501: The requested information is unavailable without sign-in - 503: Rate limit (`rate_limited`), temporary request failure (`upstream_error`), service capacity unavailable (`no_proxies`), too many concurrent requests (`overloaded`), or request temporarily unavailable (`upstream_stale`) Refused at the gateway: the check could not complete, the account is suspended, or the platform did not answer; each may pass later, and `Retry-After` comes only when the platform did not answer ## Credits Check the live price in the documentation before sending. Platform 2xx and 4xx responses can use credits, including empty data. Gateway refusals and 5xx responses do not use credits.
