[twitter-dev] Re: is there a search request limit in place?

My FireBug shows that it is pulling the most recent tweets from the Search API, but the page itself is not displaying them if there are new tweets. Also, the livetwitter jquery pluging or whatever is driving it is not using the since_id parameter... so it might "upset" the search team when it is p

[twitter-dev] is there a search request limit in place?

Hi there, I'm currently in New Orleans attending a tradeshow (SGIA) and I setup a site that would stream live tweets from people talking about the tradeshow at http://t-shirt.sc It used to show the latest posts pretty quickly after they were posted, but when I look at the site now, I don't see t

[twitter-dev] API request limit information - clarification

Hi, the twitter API request limit information is confusing me - so I destilled my understanding of it here: There are 2 kind of different limits: A rate-limit _and_ update- limits. 1. "rate-limit" This limit is applied to all GET requests (e.g. https://twitter.com/statuses/user_ti

[twitter-dev] Re: search API request limit

Yes, the Search API has a more flexible approach to rate limiting. No authentication is required to use it. On Fri, Mar 6, 2009 at 13:59, Devin wrote: > > Can someone explain this to me please: > > "We do not rate limit the search API under ordinary circumstances, > however we have put measures

[twitter-dev] search API request limit

Can someone explain this to me please: "We do not rate limit the search API under ordinary circumstances, however we have put measures in place to limit the abuse of our API. If you find yourself encountering these limits, please contact us and describe your app's requirements." Does this mean t

Yes, that method works whether you're whitelisted or not. On Sun, Feb 8, 2009 at 14:16, Abraham Williams <4bra...@gmail.com> wrote: > I guess this could have been clearer but I ran almost 3000 authenticated > requests and the rate_limit_status counted fine so it is probable that it > will count f

Re: Request Limit

I guess this could have been clearer but I ran almost 3000 authenticated requests and the rate_limit_status counted fine so it is probable that it will count fin into the 20k range. On Sun, Feb 8, 2009 at 02:11, Abraham Williams <4bra...@gmail.com> wrote: > I've not tested in the 20k range but it

Oops, my bad, I have a .curlrc in place that authenticate it. Unauthenticated it doesn't seem to be counting down. Alex: possible bug? -Stuart 2009/2/8 Stuart : > Here's a crazy thought... try it!! > > Here's what the rate_limit_status shows unauthenticated from my dev > server just now... > > s

Re: Request Limit

I'm sorry for wasting your time, Abraham. I'll be more specific next time. That still doesn't answer my question though as to whether there is a method to get my used-up requests within the new 20k/hour rate limit. Alex? On Sun, Feb 8, 2009 at 1:11 AM, Abraham Williams <4bra...@gmail.com> wrote:

Re: Request Limit

I've not tested in the 20k range but it counts into the 2k range. So you should be fine. Also for future reference if you are looking for answer A don't ask question B. Ask question A. The bit bit about working in the 20k range was a key part of the original question and it was not included. On S

Re: Request Limit

Does that apply to the 20,000 requests per hour limit? I thought that was more geared to non-whitelisted users. Jesse On Sat, Feb 7, 2009 at 11:44 PM, Abraham Williams <4bra...@gmail.com> wrote: > http://apiwiki.twitter.com/REST+API+Documentation#ratelimitstatus > > > On Sun, Feb 8, 2009 at 00:

Request Limit

Is there a way Twitter could provide the number of requests Twitter has detected an app has used in an hour in various requests? This will make it easier to determine how close we are to hitting that limit and throttle down if necessary. Thanks, Jesse
