[twitter-dev] Re: API HTTP Post statuses/update.xml
From personal experience the limit is around 150 per hour. That number has been raised/lowered in the past and yes the error message is misleading. It is possible that the 150 per hour is just a hard limit and 1000 per day is a policy limit. Either way if you can technically post 150 an hour that's as many as you're going to be able to do. Unless you present a very very good case to Twitter I don't believe this limit can be raised. I know the link Matt gave has some solid numbers but I wouldn't expect any more detail than that. It's been mentioned in this group before that exact numbers can't be given about some limits. They can change at any time and spammers could use that info to fly under the spam team's radar. On Jul 29, 3:50 pm, Eric Mortensen emort...@gmail.com wrote: Why not? If Twitter states I can send 150 an hour or 1000 a day I should be able to. Not my rules its twitters. So I guess it needs to be written somewhere that 42 per hour is the limit. I am just trying to understand why it appears that I am hitting a limit when i am only doing what twitter apparently allows. The limit I see is possibly the number of messages sent at one time and twitter can't handle it and throws the error I have been receiving. So if that exists than I understand. I just need to know where it is stated. The error message appears to wrong as well since I can still send tweets and it has been a couple hours later. Then I can tell the program manager that this is why we can't send this many messages because of this limit. Maybe what will help is a link stating that there are protections that prevent a certain number of updates/tweets happening at once.

It sounds like you are being restricted because you are sending too many per hour. The limit of updates per day exists but there are protections to prevent all those updates happening at once. I'm not familiar with the code that handles the measure windows or what the limits are but consider that 1000 tweets per day is approx 42 per hour.

I noticed that 127 tweets were posted and the remaining got kicked with the error response. Not sure if there is a limit of 127 I thought it was 150 limit per hour. This also does not hit the 1000 daily limit since it was only 200 tweets. I will try this again in about 1 hour. I should be able to start tweeting again. Let me know what you think?

Make sure your web host can contact api.twitter.com. One way to do
that is with this command curl -v

If there's an error or no output then your host has to figure out why

[twitter-dev] Re: getting authenticated user's rate-limit-using rest API.
There is no way that Twitter's api is going to let you swap between
two users (ie: here are two usernames that can auth, swap to the other
when one runs out of hits)
You will have to check the authenticating user's rate limit before
each request. When that account hits 0, authenticate with the second
user, check it's rate limit, if it's greater than 0 continue with the
request.
If you code your app this way your request won't be interrupted. But
instead of going through hoops like this could you explain what you're
doing that requires over 20,000 requests per hour? I can't speak for
Twitter but I would guess that using multiple accounts to get around
rate limits is frowned upon. There may be an easier way to achieve
what you're doing (streaming/higher access levels/etc)

[twitter-dev] Re: Updates not being indexed?
It's not really an issue with volume. You are way below the hourly limit of the number of tweets allowed. Once you hit that limit you'll know. The api will return an error stating you're over your allowed status updates for the hour. From what I can tell not being indexed by search only affects search. If someone is following or if you mention someone you they will still see your tweets. I can't speak for Twitter as to why they leave accounts out of search. It could either be related to reducing how much data the search service goes through or trying to lessen spammy tweets. You might be able to email the team at a...@twitter.com to get back in the search index. If you are only using search to track your sent tweets you could store tweet data in your own database.

[twitter-dev] Re: API REST problem
There are a few status updates on @cltag that are fairly similar. If
you're posting the same tweet multiple times twitter will only accept
the first tweet and ignore the rest. To test this add a timestamp at
the end of each tweet like this status=$mensaje.time() and try
again.
Instead of checking for an empty buffer you may want to use $info =
curl_getinfo($curl_handle) after curl_exec() and check out that $info
array. More specifically $info['http_code']. That will make debugging
this and other issues a little easier for you.

There is no officially supported way to get a static url for profile images but if you're familiar with google app engine you may want to check this out: http://code.google.com/p/spiurl/ On Aug 18, 1:34 pm, Adriano Nagel a...@safira.com wrote: Hi, Is there a permanent URL to user profile images? Currently when a user changes his avatar, my app displays a broken image. I'm trying to avoid looking for updates periodically, but I couldn't find anything related in the API. Thanks, -- Adriano
Re: Is update_profile_background_image not working?
If you're getting a 200 back I believe your request sent to twitter is correct. Go to Settings - Design - Change background image. You should see your uploaded image. Twitter is not showing custom background images updated through their api if a theme is selected. Unfortunately the only way to display the background image is to manually select it while logged in. I am running in to a similar situation when changing any of the design colors.

A couple of things: - I believe my multipart is correct because I can use the exact same request body to update my avatar using update_profile_image - The response coming back is the equivalant of a show (that is, I am not getting any response other than a 200). Also is there any timeline on the tile bit from October? Thanks guys - -Max
