# Follow

`GET /api/social/r/{post_id}/{network}`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.getcheapgames.com` (the document declares no server; this is the origin it was published from)
- URL: `https://api.getcheapgames.com/api/social/r/{post_id}/{network}`
- Auth: none declared

A link in one of our posts, or on its bio tile: on to its game, marked.

A post that no longer exists, or has no game, still lands somewhere: a link
already out on a network is followed for as long as the post is up.

A bio tile is counted here, credited to wherever the bio page's visitor
came from, which the page passes along. A caption link is NOT counted
here (see the module docstring): it is marked with its network and post,
and counted when the page it lands on is shown (`arrive`).

## Path parameters

- `post_id` integer, required
- `network` string, required

## Query parameters

- `from` string, nullable
- `ref` string, nullable

## Response `200`

Successful Response

- unknown

## Other responses

- `422`: Validation Error
