A value past its maxLength gets this answer, & the message names the field & its limit. - `401`: Unauthenticated - `402`: Payment required. MPP reads include `WWW-Authenticate`. Authenticated reads include balances, plus checkout when the key can open it. A key that reads only gets the account page instead. A failed request never creates checkout. A caller on a plan gets top-up only, plus `credits_renew_at` when the plan renews. Guest keys offer top-up. - `404`: Article not found - `424`: Dependency unavailable, unauthorized, or limited. Default v1 uses 502. Best-practice responses use 424 for transparent dependency failures. Search answers 424 `search_unavailable` when X fails the query itself, or when its filters matched none of the last 3,000 posts read. The message says how far back the search read. - `429`: Too many requests right now. Each user gets 500 reads a second. Each minute allows 120 writes & 60 deletes. `x_api_rate_limited` means X limits this read for now. Neither answer costs anything. Wait for the seconds in `Retry-After`, then retry. - `500`: Unexpected error. - `502`: Dependency unavailable, unauthorized, or limited. Default v1 uses 502. Best-practice responses use 424 for transparent dependency failures.

With X-Xquik-Busy, retry until your deadline. - `default`: Unexpected error. ## Changes - **2026-10-20** `45942c75fdc2`: 20 warning - added the new `topup_in_progress` enum value to the `allOf[#/components/schemas/Error]/error/oneOf[subschema #1: LegacyErrorCode]/` response property for the response status `429` - added the new `topup_in_progress` enum value to the `allOf[#/components/schemas/Error]/error/oneOf[subschema #2: StructuredError]/code` response property for the response status `429` - added the new `topup_in_progress` enum value to the `error/oneOf[subschema #1: LegacyErrorCode]/` response property for the response status `400` - added the new `topup_in_progress` enum value to the `error/oneOf[subschema #1: LegacyErrorCode]/` response property for the response status `401` - …16 more [Operation history](https://skmtc.dev/xquik-dev/apis/xquik-api/changes/api/v1/x/articles/:tweetId/get.md) --- [API](https://skmtc.dev/xquik-dev/apis/xquik-api.md) · [All operations](https://skmtc.dev/xquik-dev/apis/xquik-api/llms.txt) · [OpenAPI document](https://skmtc.dev/xquik-dev/apis/xquik-api/revisions/45942c75fdc2?raw)
