[twitter-dev] Re: Tracking Unfavoriting
Hi John, thanks for the response - I didn't noticed you'd replied! Ok, by user streams we're talking about the streaming API yes (http://apiwiki.twitter.com/Streaming-API-Documentation) - can I get it from there or are you saying that by in preview is not in that API yet? No point asking this but any timescales on changes?

Hi John, I've replied a few times but it's not showing up...hmm ANyway, are you referring to this API http://apiwiki.twitter.com/ChirpUserStreams?

This feature is in preview and isn't yet available for service integrations, but we hope to fix that soon. Otherwise, favorites are a bit of a second-class object within Twitter, although we do want to make them on par with tweets and retweets and such, it's not easy. -John Kaluckihttp://twitter.com/jkalucki Infrastructure, Twitter Inc.

Thanks John, sorry - didn't notice your reply. Are you saying that the streaming API will handle this? Or am I getting user streams mixed up? thanks Joel On Jun 16, 2:13 pm, John Kalucki j...@twitter.com wrote: User Streams have favorites and unfavorites for the logged in user and that user's followings.

[twitter-dev] Rate Limiting question
Hi all, I was feeling a little clever after working on some Twitter API stuff but then thought oh! I'd better think about Twitters rate limiting...and then that's where my brain started to melt! A few bits of info: my web app needs people to authenticate (OAUTH) and, from then on, the app analyses their tweets and occasionally updates registered user's statuses. I've applied for the webserver IP to be white listed which I believe gives the app 20,000 requests per hour. I've not found the search API to be great when looking for a hashtag (sometimes tweets just don't seem to get indexed) so I've gone a stage further and am analysing the individual timelines of all my registered users via a cron job (the cron job sucks in all of a persons tweets greater than the last analysed tweet of the user). This call is made via OAUTH/authenticated so I believe such a call depletes the user's rate limit quota rather than the IP/authenticated account of the webserver quota? Is that correct? Thanks for any thoughts here Joel
