Learning to handle errors when making requests is an important key of having a great application. Below is an example request with a good & bad response.

This is an example request which fetches a specific user's data on twitter.

Headers

Name	Type	Description
x-api-key*	String	NoAuth API Key

Request Body

Name	Type	Description

screen_name*	String	Find user by their twitter name

200: OK

{
  "status": "success",
  "message": "Response from twitter...."
}

429: Too Many Requests

{
  "status": "failed",
  "message": "You have reached the rate-limit. Please wait a minute."
}
