Re: [twitter-dev] Http Response code handling
Hi Umashankar, If you receive a 420 error you should follow the back off strategy I mentioned to Zaver. We don't discuss how Seach handles it's rate limiting, just approaches on what to do if you fine yourself rate limited.

Re: [twitter-dev] Http Response code handling
Hi Matt, Do the failed requests count [one's with 420 response] into the tally for the next hour?

Re: [twitter-dev] Http Response code handling
Hi Zaver, A 420 response from the Search API means you have been rate limited. What you should do is stop making requests and then try again 30 seconds later. If you still get 420, wait 1 minute. Continue doubling the time you wait until the 420 stops and you get results. Then gradually increase your request rate again. For extra back off magic add a little jitter (e.g. a random number of seconds between say 0 and 30) to the doubled wait times. Hope that helps, @themattharris Developer Advocate, Twitter http://twitter.com/themattharris On Tue, Feb 22, 2011 at 12:29 AM, zaver wrote: > Hello, > > I am using the search api with multiple keywords (120 keywords) using > curl (curl_multi_init etc.), querying the api every 5 mins and i need > some help on how to handle some of the response codes. > Specifically: > > 420 -> i get this error on some of my keywords not all.

[twitter-dev] Http Response code handling
Hello, I am using the search api with multiple keywords (120 keywords) using curl (curl_multi_init etc.), querying the api every 5 mins and i need some help on how to handle some of the response codes. Specifically: 420 -> i get this error on some of my keywords not all. Does this mean that i am rate limited and should wait for the amount of time in the Retry-after part in general or only for these keywords? Currently I do wait for the amount of time it specifies for the whole keyword set. Is that right? Haven't come across these yet although i would like to have some handling for these. 502: Bad Gateway: Twitter is down or being upgraded. 503: Service Unavailable: The Twitter servers are up, but overloaded with requests. Try again later. Any help is greatly appreciated.
