Those 350 requests per user per hour - that's just to the REST api, not the search api? Is there any comparable usage for the search api? We have an app that regularly runs a specific searches for users, performs some significant analysis on them, and gives them the results of that analysis. We

Ed, I'm not sure what you mean by: You need to get *all* your users to *explicitly* authorize the application's *exact* usage of their data! Of course! that is exactly what we are saying and I'm not sure if you're really saying you shouldn't get the user's authorization as that doesn't make

Ryan, I have asked this a few times, (every time you mention using site streams) and I realize everyone at twitter is really busy, but it would be really helpful to know whether it is possible to write twitter web based apps right now given that there is no whitelisting, and site streams seems to

Hi Hank, We believe it to be entirely possible to build a web-based Twitter client using only the REST API without whitelisting. Where are you thinking that you would require it? Site Streams makes it easier in some ways, though the implementation can be more complicated and intensive. By

Thanks Taylor. So just to clarify, the 350 requests is per user account, not per server/ip address? We are creating a web application (not a desktop/mobile client) that will need to query account multiple times per hour. If the rate limits are per user account then we have no problem. If the rate

Highly unlikely. At the present time it's either the Streaming API or using GNIP. I don't believe there are any use cases where they would provide you with elevated Streaming API access to the level you desire. Sent from my iPhone On 16 Mar 2011, at 04:23, manusis ra...@manusis.com wrote:

We should have been more clear, but elevated levels of streaming was included in the previous statement about ending the whitelisting program. There are open levels for each stream or you can contact Gnip if you are looking for elevated access for the purposes of data analysis. Also as we stated

Thanks Augusto. But the same thread indicates that tools like Streaming API will replace whitelisting. So it does not make sense for me for Streaming API to put under the same umbrella as whitelisting. Since then, we've added new, more efficient tools for developers, including lookups, ID lists,

From that same post : http://groups.google.com/group/twitter-development-talk/browse_thread/thread/1acd954f8a04fa84/688b8bfe26a5c178 Developers interested in elevated access to the Twitter stream for the purpose of research or analytics can contact our partner Gnip for more information.

Yeah I went through gnip in detail but their pricing is excessively expensive especially when I care only about twitter data and not the hundred other sources that they provide. I was hoping that if not partner track, twitter might be open to give at least restricted track access to developers.
