What is your concern about supplying credentials with every call? No, you can't batch your requests on the API side -- you're going to have to make a call to the API for every post. Have you looked into OAuth? You retrieve a single token for access, which along with your consumer token you use over and over again to make requests on behalf of a specific account. You still need to make an API call for every POST action however.

My issue is the amount of time it takes to do a certain number of friendship/destroy and friendship/create calls. Right now I am using the code from the original post. Would the oAuth speed this up versus the posts that I am doing? Does anyone else know a way to speed up a larger group of API calls? Thanks, Dan

If it's a desktop app, you could spawn some number of threads (say 10) and make 10 post calls in each simultaneously.

Why does it have to be a desktop app? Most real web frameworks support asynchronous calls. Desktop app, web app, whichever, spin off some threads and go asynchronous.
