When the integration's error body is unclear, Unified extracts what it can and returns a clearer message. ### 429 Too Many Requests A 429 has two possible sources: * The integration's own rate limit, passed through. * Unified's workspace limit: a rolling 60 seconds, set by plan, with the message `Too many requests to unified.to API; max requests per minute: N`. ## Code Samples ### Node.js SDK ```javascript import { UnifiedTo } from '@unified-api/typescript-sdk'; const sdk = new UnifiedTo({ security: { jwt: '', }, }); const connectionId = '5de520f96e439b002043d8dc'; const id = '1234'; const results = await sdk.social.updateSocialComment({ connectionId, id, socialComment: { }, fields: '', raw: '', }); ``` ### Node.js (axios) ```javascript const options = { method: 'PUT', url: 'https://api.unified.to/social/5de520f96e439b002043d8dc/comment/5de520f96e439b002043d8d8', headers: { authorization: 'bearer .....' }, data: undefined, params: { fields: '', raw: '', } }; const results = await axios.request(options); ``` ### Java ```java AsyncHttpClient client = new DefaultAsyncHttpClient(); client.prepare("PUT", "https://api.unified.to/social/5de520f96e439b002043d8dc/comment/5de520f96e439b002043d8d8?fields=&raw=") .setHeader("accept", "application/json") .setHeader("authorization", ".....") .execute() .toCompletableFuture() .thenAccept(System.out::println) .join(); client.close(); ``` ### Go ```go import ( "fmt" "net/http" "io/ioutil" ) url := `https://api.unified.to/social/5de520f96e439b002043d8dc/comment/5de520f96e439b002043d8d8?fields=&raw= req, _ := http.NewRequest("PUT", url, nil) req.Header.Add("accept", "application/json") req.Header.Add("authorization", ".....") res, _ := http.DefaultClient.Do(req) defer res.Body.Close() body, _ := ioutil.ReadAll(res.Body) ``` ### Python ```python import requests url = "https://api.unified.to/social/5de520f96e439b002043d8dc/comment/5de520f96e439b002043d8d8?fields=&raw=" headers = { "accept": "application/json", "authorization": "....." } response = requests.put(url, headers=headers) ``` ### PHP ```php $curl = curl_init(); curl_setopt_array($curl, [ CURLOPT_URL => "https://api.unified.to/social/5de520f96e439b002043d8dc/comment/5de520f96e439b002043d8d8?fields=&raw=", CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true, CURLOPT_ENCODING => "", CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS => 10, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT => 30, CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION => CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_1, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST => "PUT", CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => [ "accept: application/json", "authorization: ....." ], ]); ``` ### Ruby ```ruby require 'uri' require 'net/http' require 'openssl' url = URI("https://api.unified.to/social/5de520f96e439b002043d8dc/comment/5de520f96e439b002043d8d8?fields=&raw=") http = Net::HTTP.new(url.host, url.port) http.use_ssl = true request = Net::HTTP::Put.new(url) request["accept"] = 'application/json' request["authorization"] = '....' response = http.request(request) puts response.read_body ``` ### cURL ```bash curl --request PUT \ --url 'https://api.unified.to/social/5de520f96e439b002043d8dc/comment/5de520f96e439b002043d8d8?fields=&raw=' \ --header 'accept: application/json' \ --header 'authorization: .....' ```
