Retrieve user's lists

Returns array of lists a user created or is subscribed to. Typically Twitter returns up to 100 lists per page. 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]/lists

Endpoint parameters

Name
Description
Example

user_id (Required)

The ID of the user for whom to return results

443198458

cursor (Optional)

Common Issues and Best Practices

  • In languages where theuser_id value exceeds the default Integer type limit (e.g., Node.js), store tweet_id and user_id as strings. Use the id_str property returned by the API for these values

Response 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 support@socialdata.tools if you need to raise your rate limit.

Example request

curl "https://api.socialdata.tools/twitter/user/343990983/lists"
-H 'Authorization: Bearer API_KEY'
-H 'Accept: application/json'
