Because AccountPin IDs are generally not exposed via any API responses, you will have to parse the HTTP `Link` header to load older or newer results. See [Paginating through API responses]({{<relref "api/guidelines#pagination">}}) for more information.

```http
Link: <https://mastodon.social/api/v1/endorsements?limit=2&max_id=832844>; rel="next", <https://mastodon.social/api/v1/endorsements?limit=2&since_id=952529>; rel="prev"
```

##### 401: Unauthorized

Invalid or missing Authorization header.

```json
{
  "error": "The access token is invalid"
}
```
