Retrieve user's articles

WARNING:

You are viewing an outdated version of our documentation. For the latest and most accurate information, please visit docs.socialdata.tools.

Returns array of articles posted by the user. You can request additional results by sending another request to the same endpoint using cursor parameter.

Endpoint

GET https://api.socialdata.tools/twitter/user/[user_id]/articles

Endpoint parameters

Name	Description	Example
user_id (Required)	The ID of the user for whom to return results.	1034554665109676033

Common Issues and Best Practices

• 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

Endpoint codes

• HTTP 200 OK - succeeded

• HTTP 402 Payment Required - not enough credits to perform this request

• HTTP 403 Forbidden - user's profile is set to "protected"

• HTTP 404 Not Found - requested user 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 [e-mail] if you need to raise your rate limit.

Example request

curl "https://api.socialdata.tools/twitter/user/1034554665109676033/articles"
