## Responses

## Try it

**Uses your real account.** The request goes from your browser straight to `www.helprange.com` with your API key and acts as you. The key stays in this page (in this tab's session storage only if you tick the box), is never put in a URL and is not sent to analytics. Do not paste a key on a shared computer.
 API key

  Remember in this tab

link_id (path, required)

page (query)

limit (query)
