[twitter-dev] Re: Rate limit status's remaining_hits element scope

2009-04-20 Thread obeymiffy

On a related note, i'm finding that these params
* X-RateLimit-Limit
* X-RateLimit-Remaining
* X-RateLimit-Reset
only seem to get returned to me when i call the account/
rate_limit_status endpoint.  And even though the docs say that it
should not count against the API limit, they are the only call that
shows that count being decremented.

I've double checked that my calls are GET and i'm using the
search.json endpoint with very simple queries.  Am I missing
something?  I'd like to track that number so that I know if our usage
is going to be near the rate limit.

Regards
Jon

Hi Jon,

The search and main twitter.com APIs use different rate limiting  
[1] so search.json is not expected to have those headers.
