Common to every endpoint

Any route can answer these: a missing or wrong key, no credits left, the platform not answering, or a failure on our side. None of them costs credits.

GET /v1/cosmos/profile?handle=design

{
  "success": false,
  "message": "Invalid API key"
}

04Notes

Usually 25 developers, no further pages. The answer echoes `since` and `language` next to `developers`. An empty list is a 200 for 0 credits. A `since` outside the listed values is a free 400.
