The Hootsuite API is served over HTTPS to ensure data privacy.\n### Request Format\nThe Hootsuite API supports the following HTTP verbs:\n| Verb       | Description  |\n|--------|------|\n| GET    | GET requests retrieve resources. GET requests with query parameters should be [URL encoded](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percent-encoding).  |\n| POST   | POST requests create or update resources. POST requests can partially update a resource by passing a subset of the fields that should be updated. To remove a single field set it to null. POST requests should always set content-type and character encoding to: application/json;charset=utf-8. |\n| DELETE | DELETE requests delete resources. Delete requests return a 200 OK with an empty data envelope if the request was successful.|\n### Response Format\nAll responses are returned in JSON. The response is wrapped in a top level data envelope which is an object or array depending on whether a single item or a collection is returned. If a single item is returned the data field will be an object. If a collection is returned the field will be an array.\nIf the response was unsuccessful an errors array will be returned. Responses that partially fail will return both a data and errors object.\nA single item response:\n```\n{\n  \"data\": {},\n  \"errors\": [{},{},{}]\n}\n```\nA collection response:\n```\n{\n  \"data\": [{},{},{}],\n  \"errors\": [{},{},{}]\n  \"metadata\": {}\n}\n```\n### HTTP Response Codes\nThe Hootsuite API uses HTTP status codes to indicate the status of your request.\n|Code |Description |\n|---|---|\n|200 OK|Resource was successfully created, updated, deleted or retrieved.|\n|400 Bad Request|Invalid request, possibly due to missing parameters|\n|401 Unauthorized|Missing or invalid authentication|\n|403 Forbidden|Access denied|\n|404 Not Found|Requested resource does not exist|\n|429 Too Many Requests|Rate Limit Exceeded. Please contact dev.support@hootsuite.com for assistance|\n|500 Server Error|Unexpected error occurred on the server|\n### API Error Handling\nError responses are returned with the following fields. Note, the schema for OAuth2 error responses are different and comply with the RFC. Please refer to the Authorization endpoint documentation for details.\n|Field|Description|\n|---|---|\n|code|Unique number indicating type of error|\n|message|Description of error|\n|id|Unique id for tracing purposes|\n|resource|(optional) type and id are used to point to the field(s) that caused the error|\n```\n{\n  \"errors\": [\n    {\n      \"code\" : 1234,\n      \"message\": \"Could not create message for social profile\",\n      \"id\" : \"f7d32670-4e6a-48c0-a2a7-87803536a712\",\n      \"resource\": {\n        \"type\":\"socialProfile\",\n        \"id\":\"7534653235\"\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}\n```\n### Error Codes\nHere is a list of error codes and descriptions returned by our APIs:\n|Code|Description|\n|---|---|\n|1000|Missing or duplicate access token|\n|1001|Invalid access
