To paginate through the records in the followed tags collection, you must use the HTTP `Link` header to load older or newer results. The `id` property in the results refers to the [Tag]({{< relref "entities/Tag" >}}), not the record representing the following relationship to a Tag. See [Paginating through API responses]({{<relref "api/guidelines#pagination">}}) for more information.

```http
Link: <http://mastodon.example/api/v1/followed_tags?limit=1&max_id=2>; rel="next", <http://mastodon.example/api/v1/followed_tags?limit=1&since_id=2>; rel="prev"
```

##### 401: Unauthorized

Invalid or missing Authorization header.

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