Hi, I am investigating options for showing a twitter widget on a website. I am considering using the Twitter provided Profile Widget (http:// twitter.com/goodies/widget_profile).
I wanted to clarify what rate limiting policy (if any) applies to this widget? >From reading the documentation, the widget does not make authenticated calls, and therefore a client IP limit would be applied. As the call to twitter is made via javascript from the client browser, the limit would then be placed on the client IP (150 calls per hour). The widget will show for various twitter users who register with my site (i.e. they say what their twitter name is and on their public page, the twitter widget will show their last couple of tweets). The render rate will be much higher than 150 per hour in total, but for an individual browser should be much less. Finally, what happens when a large number of clients (browsers) are behind a proxy such as at a university or large company? Thank you Jason
