Hi, App Engine uses a shared pool of IPs for outgoing urlfetch requests. Unfortunately, as you observe, some services such as Twitter enforce per-ip ratelimiting.
In the case of Twitter, most of their APIs that support anonymous access also support authenticated access. You can submit authenticated requests instead, which are limited by your account, rather than by your IP. -Nick Johnson On Tue, Feb 9, 2010 at 2:33 PM, enes akar <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi; > > I have just deployed an application to app engine which use twitter search > api. > > But there is a problem.
