Errors

SocialData uses conventional HTTP response codes to indicate the success or failure of an API request. In general:

• Codes in the 2xx range indicate success.
• Codes in the 4xx range indicate an error that failed given the information provided (e.g., a required parameter was omitted, Twitter user not found or suspended, etc.).
• Codes in the 5xx range indicate an error with SocialData servers (these are rare) — typically a retry will succeed.

HTTP STATUS CODE SUMMARY

200	OK	Everything worked as expected.
401	Unauthorized	No valid API key provided.
402	Payment Required	Credits balance insufficient to process the request, add funds to your balance.
403	Forbidden	The API key doesn't have permissions to perform the request.
404	Not Found	The requested resource doesn't exist.
422	Unprocessable Content	Validation failed. The request was unacceptable, often due to missing a required parameter.
429	Too Many Requests	Too many requests hit the API too quickly. We recommend an exponential backoff of your requests.
