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"
}

05Notes

The answer has `query`, `posts` and `cursor`, the next page number as a string, or null when there are no more pages. A page covers 10 search results, so it usually holds 8 to 10 posts; results that are not posts or cannot be read are left out. Results come from web search, so they differ from X's own search. A cursor outside 1 to 11 is a free 400. Web search engines also answer loosely related pages when nothing matches, so only results that name the query's words (in their title, snippet or URL) are kept: a query nothing matches answers the empty list for 0 credits.

06Errors & credits

Every error has success: false, a real HTTP status and costs no credits.
