{% hint style="warning" %} <mark style="color:orange;">**Common Issues and Best Practices**</mark>

* In languages where the `id` value exceeds the default Integer type limit (e.g., Node.js), store `id` as a string. Use the `id_str` property returned by the API for these values
  {% endhint %}

### Response codes

* **HTTP 200 OK -** succeeded
* **HTTP 402 Payment Required** - not enough credits to perform this request
* **HTTP 404 Not Found** - requested tweet does not exist
* **HTTP 422 Unprocessable Content** - validation failed (e.g. one of the required parameters was not provided)
* **HTTP 500** **Internal Server Error** - other error, typically means that SocialData API failed to obtain the requested information and you should try again later
