[twitter-dev] Suddenly only getting search results from the past 24 hours...
Hi everyone, I'm relatively new to using APIs. I completed a data visualization project about a month ago and everything worked fine at that time. But now, when I run the app, I only get search results from the past day rather than the past seven days. I don't get any errors when this happens. Nothing has changed about my application, I haven't touched it for almost a month. What could have happened between that time? What might be causing this and how can I fix it? Btw, I'm using the Tweetr AS3 Library which uses HTTP GET and retrieves atom results. Thanks, Ed
[twitter-dev] Re: Search API rate limit IP address question
Thank you for your reply! If this were true then sometimes your request works and other times it doesn't. Is that the case? Yes, each time I run my app, it makes ~80 calls to the Search API. I can only run a full test of the app 2 or 3 times before I get the Stream Error. But if I run a partial test of only 10 or so calls, I can run it a bunch more times before getting the error. If I wait 30 minutes or so, I can continue testing...but that really affects my workflow! There are multiple requests happening here. I assume the following, which may or may not be correct: - From your browser you call your app - Your app runs some call through the twitter API - Twitter servers process the call and send it back to your app - Your app returns processed code back to your browser Yes, this is correct. From the above processes your IP address is passed through by the Twitter API to the twitter service. I'd suggest try running your request from a completely different network and see what happens. I tried running it from a friend's computer. I get the same frequency of Error, but when he changes his computer's IP address, I'm suddenly able to run the app again... How can I shift the load to my webserver's IP (the one that's whitelisted) rather than each individual computer's IP? Is it possible with Search API? Thank you!
[twitter-dev] Search API rate limit IP address question
Hello there! I have two questions: First, I received an approval for whitelisting for my server's IP address (as in, the IP number that I see when I log onto my webhosting account). I'm currently building my application in Flash using AS3 and after I've tested my project a few times, I'll get this error: Error #2032: Stream Error...[my search request] I assume this is rate limiting in action? I read on this discussion board that whitelisting doesn't affect Search API. Does this mean I will always be limited to some arbitrary (unpublished) search limit? Then, I noticed the IP address used for the GET request is the IP address of the computer I'm using, NOT the IP address of my web server. How is this happening even though I'm using a proxy installed on my web server? Shouldn't the call be made from the server, not the computer? Thank you. I'm pretty new at developing applications, so any help or advice is greatly appreciated!
