<mark style="color:orange;">**Common Issues and Best Practices**</mark>

* In languages where the `user_id` value exceeds the default Integer type limit (e.g., Node.js), store `user_id` as a string. Use the `id_str` property returned by the API for these values
* Always URL-encode the `cursor` value when passing it back to the API for subsequent requests
{% endhint %}

### Response codes

* **HTTP 200 OK -** succeeded
* **HTTP 402 Payment Required** - not enough credits to perform this request
* **HTTP 404 Not Found** - requested user profile 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

### Rate limits

By default each user has a limit of 120 requests per minute shared across all endpoints. Please reach out to support@socialdata.tools if you need to raise your rate limit.

### Example request

```bash
curl "https://api.socialdata.tools/twitter/user/783214/affiliates"
-H 'Authorization: Bearer API_KEY'

```
