Re: [twitter-dev] API Rate Limit For Followers List - Cache Problem?

[Mark McBride]

This could conceivable happen even between requests.  The results are
ordered by the time somebody started following you, so if you want to have a
(fairly) complete list of your followers, just take a second pass and stop
when you start seeing people already in your cache.  Detecting people who
have stopped following you isn't possible with this method, so at the moment
you'll always be a bit out of date on this front.

[twitter-dev] API Rate Limit For Followers List - Cache Problem?

[GoogleRock]

I understand the twitter API has a rate limit of 150 requests per
hour.

I want to download a total list of followers.

When I download followers I cache the information (100 followers at a
time).

However if I run out of requests and have to wait until the next hour
to begin again how do I know that my cache is still good?  Couldn't
someone un-follow while I am waiting until the next hour and then my
cache is dirty?

Any one have insight into this problem?

Thanks

[twitter-dev] API Rate Limit

[vikas]

Hi,
I went through the group lists searching for a clear understanding of
API rate limit, but unfortunately could not able to get a clear idea.
There are already many discussions about this but i am asking this
again as i need this information to develop my product.

I have few simple questions, the answers to which will solve my
problem, any one please help,

does the limit applies to IP only?
ex, if N number of users are requesting through a whitelisted IP, then
only IP's limit count is decreased and the individual users count is
not changed

or is it ip and also user based ?
ex, if my IP is whitelisted, then for 20,000 users i will get 20k *
20k requests credit per hour.

Please explain the exact way the rate limit is working

thanks and regards,
Vikas

[twitter-dev] API rate limit problem

[puneet]

Hi guys,
  I requested whitelisting API rate limit to twitter and got
approved before 2 days. However, still i am facing the same API rate
limit (150) problem. I have checked it and it did not change from 150
to 20,000 for my account.
does anybody know what went wrong?

my screen name is "puneet035"

Thanks,
Puneet

[twitter-dev] API rate limit for login calls?

[Mark]

Hi,

I'm writing a twitter service which only uses API methods not
requiring authentication.

I'd like to bind the service to the user's twitter name though. In
order to verify the user's identity, I could have them sign in with
OAuth (seems a little overkill though because I won't be using any API
calls which require authentication).

Since the login stuff has to be done server-side, I'll probably hit
the 150 API rate limit really fast. I know I could ask to have my app
white-listed to up that to 20k. Are there any other options, to verify
a user is who they say they are?

Thanks

[twitter-dev] API rate limit and as3

[Germig]

Sorry for this noob-question.
The search api is rate limited by IP adress. If the request comes from
an swf-file, which IP adress is the one, they will recognize? I think
the one from the client, or?
And a request from an php-file would use the IP-adress from the
server?
Would be nice to get an answer.
Best regards Martin
