[twitter-dev] Re: Search API the public alternative to URL count API?

2011-02-15 Thread Martin Cronjé
Hi Carlos,

I am not sure I understand the relevance of your question. I am
planning on using OAuth for authentication. The URL count API
(url.api.twit..) does not need authentication.

Assuming that with callback you refer to the Javascript callbacks; The
processing in question will happen in a backend component and thus
wont be able to receive the callbacks?

  Hi there,

  I am busy writing an aggregator and I am looking at using the Twitter
  API to get URL counts.

  I seems that public developers are not allowed to use the URL
  counting API based on the Tweet Button FAQ. Which leaves me with not
  other option but to use the search API for URL counting. Using the
  search API makes not sense if there a Count API.

  This leaves me with the following questions
  1. Will my application / I.P. get banned if I use the Count API?
  2. Is there a way to request multiple URLs at once to limit round-
  trips?
  3. The URL count API returns not threshold information. So if I am
  allowed to use it, should I manage the thresholds myself

  FAQ -http://dev.twitter.com/pages/tweet_button_faq#count-api
  URL Count API -http://urls.api.twitter.com/1/urls/count.json?url=URL
  Search API -http://search.twitter.com/search.format

  My application aggregates URLs on a central server using a shared
  account so the request numbers may be quite high
