[twitter-dev] Re: Does twitter allow apps for getting followers by following each other?

I was searching for the same thing, so it would be great to know if
this auto-follow sort of usage of twitter API is allowed or not?

Example: On a twitter authentication (OAauth) based website, when
USER1 logs into the website will follow 5 other members (that might or
not follow back).

If it`s allowed, what would be the API usage limit?

Would it be ok to restrict this auto-follow option on 5 followings /
member / each one hour - basis?

Thank you.

Sincerly, Cristian.

P.S.: I`m not sure what happent to my first post, this is the 2nd on
this topic. I appologise if reply needed to be approved and that`s why
it didn`t show the 1st one.

 Basically they allow users to login and click a button to follow other

 am wondering is that allowed?

I was looking for the same thing, an answer if there is a limit for
using OAuth in order to create friendships between members of a
twitter authentication based site.
Basicaly this is a sort of auto-follow when login using twitter
account.

The first moral question would be: Is it allowed?
2nd question: If YES, is there a limit?

To be precise i`m only refering to the OAuth option to POST friendship
creation between one (login/signup twitter user) and others (also
members of the website, twitter users).

Example: If there is a limit of one hour since user1 last time logged
into our website, he can/or may not be able to follow other 5,10
members.

Would be of great help to know if this is not against twitter policy
on how API resources can be used so we can start developing on this
idea.

Thank you.

Sincerly, Cristian.
