Hi there, This is actually a different error than your library may be leading you to believe -- the library is suggesting that the 403 may be due to rate limiting, but in this case it's actually due to a recent permission model change. The permission model gas change whereas requesting a user's

Hi Denzil, The paragraph is letting you know that the API isn't the only source of rate limits. If an API method says it isn't rate limited it means the request will not count against the 350 authenticated (150 unauthenticated) requests you are permitted per hour. It doesn't mean the method

Per user per application. A user can use, for example, 350 requests with TweetDeck, and then it can still use 350 requests with your application, without interfering with other users that also use your application. Tom On 5/31/11 2:37 PM, Rob Wilson wrote: Hi, I am writing an iPhone
