Get the response a request returned · SocialTap API reference

The body and status a request returned, without running it again: kept only while keep_response_bodies is on, for response_body_retention_s (7 days), at most response_body_max_bytes (1 MB) each; otherwise not_found (details.reason). Free.

Auth: an API key with the account:read scope, or the dashboard session.

Test mode: A test key sees test requests only; a live key and the dashboard see both.

Example

cURL

curl 'https://staging.socialtap.dev/v1/requests/<id>/response' \
  -H "x-api-key: $SOCIALTAP_API_KEY"

Get the response a request returned

Field	Type	Description
`data`	`object`
`data.body`	`string`	The answer's body exactly as it was sent: JSON text ({data, meta} or {error}), parse it to use it. When truncated, its first 1 MB (cut at a character boundary): not valid JSON.
`data.expires_at`	`string` (date-time)	When the kept body is deleted, RFC 3339 UTC.
`data.http_status`	`integer`	The answer's HTTP status.
`data.object`	`string`	Always request_response. One of `request_response`
`data.request_id`	`string`	The request it answered.
`data.size_bytes`	`integer`	The whole answer body's size in bytes (body is shorter when truncated).
`data.truncated`	`boolean`	true when the answer was longer than 1 MB and body holds only its start.
`meta`	`object`	The shared route meta (see the API reference introduction).

400

400 Bad Request.

Code	HTTP	Retry	Meaning	What to do
`invalid_input`	400	No	The request parameters are missing or malformed, or the URL is not a supported link for this endpoint.	Fix the parameter named in param (the message says how); for a link of the wrong kind, call the endpoint the message names.

invalid_inputNo retry

Fix the parameter named in param (the message says how); for a link of the wrong kind, call the endpoint the message names.

401

401 Unauthorized.

Code	HTTP	Retry	Meaning	What to do
`unauthorized`	401	No	The x-api-key header is missing, unknown or revoked (or, on the dashboard's routes, the session cookie is missing or expired).	Send a valid API key in the x-api-key header; without one, get a key at details.signup_url (AI agents: POST details.agent_signup_url).

unauthorizedNo retry

The x-api-key header is missing, unknown or revoked (or, on the dashboard's routes, the session cookie is missing or expired).

Send a valid API key in the x-api-key header; without one, get a key at details.signup_url (AI agents: POST details.agent_signup_url).

403

403 Forbidden.

Code	HTTP	Retry	Meaning	What to do
`forbidden`	403	No	The API key is valid but may not make this request: its account is suspended, its scopes do not include the route, it is waiting for its owner's email confirmation, it is past its expiry, or the request came from an IP its allowlist does not include; or the request used a rotated key's previous secret (or one no longer current) for something that needs the admin scope. A running job stops the same way when its account is suspended or the key that created it is revoked or expires. It is about the key, never the item (a private item is private_or_unavailable, also 403): branch on the code.	Do what details.reason says: if suspended, contact support; otherwise use a key whose scopes cover the route (details.required_scope) or the key's new secret after a rotation, have the owner confirm the emailed link, create a new key, or call from an allowed IP.

404 Not Found.

Code	HTTP	Retry	Meaning	What to do
`not_found`	404	No	The item does not exist or was deleted.	Check the URL or ID; do not retry.

not_foundNo retry

The item does not exist or was deleted.

Check the URL or ID; do not retry.

429

429 Too Many Requests.

Code	HTTP	Retry	Meaning	What to do
`rate_limited`	429	Yes, later	The account exceeded its runaway-protection ceiling: plans do not limit request rate, but a high per-account safety ceiling stops broken client loops. Support raises it on request. Without an API key (signup, the MCP server's tool listing and find_endpoint), requests are limited per IP address instead.	Wait for the number of seconds in the retry-after header, then retry; ask support to raise the ceiling if your sustained traffic needs more (calls without an API key: use one).
