Our app authenticates users with Twitter (using oAuth) and then sends API calls like 1. users show 2. status friends
These calls do NOT require authentication but we want them to count against user's limit --> so it goes to 150/hr on users quota and NOT the app quota. However, even after making sure that the user is authenticated, these are not deducting the user's limit. curl -u user:password http://api.twitter.com/1/account/rate_limit_status.xml gives the same number - it does not get deducted. It seems that they are still getting counted in the app quota of 150/ hr. Q1. How do we check if the app quota is getting deducted? Q2. How do we create/make the api calls so that they count against the user's quota? Thanks
