Limits

  • Maximum per call: 1 posts.
  • Minimum per call: 1 post — a target with less data returns fewer posts, and an empty result is still a successful call.
  • Each call fetches a full page of up to 1 and costs the same either way. Pass limit to receive fewer than that in the response.
  • This endpoint returns a single record per call and is not paginated.

What this costs in practice

10,000 posts = 10,000 calls × 1 credits per call = 10,000 credits = $0.00

Priced at the Custom pack rate: 1,000,000 credits for $0.00.

Error codes

401invalid_api_keyMissing or unrecognized X-API-Key header. No credits are charged.

403account_suspended / key_revokedThe account is suspended or the key was revoked.

429monthly_cap_reachedThis key used the monthly call cap you set for it. Retrying will not help — raise the cap, use another key, or wait for the next calendar month. No Retry-After header is sent. Not charged.
500upstream_errorUnexpected failure while fulfilling the request. Not charged.
