Tom : Thanks. I will create multiple user accounts. I guess about 20 (350 * 20 = 7000 considering 1 request per second) should solve my issue. --Regards, Denzil On Sat, Jun 4, 2011 at 3:35 AM, Tom van der Woerdt i...@tvdw.eu wrote: If you authenticate, all requests (except for search)

I'd like to point out that this is against the TOS. You should limit your API requests where possible - for a normal application with user interaction you won't need more than 350 per hour. If you do some sort of data analysis, you may need to use streams instead. Tom On 6/4/11 7:53 PM,

Oh! I should avoid creating multiple user accounts in that case. I would like to perform analysis on a target set of users and not streams. How do I proceed? I should add that 350 requests per hour is highly insufficient for my use case. --Regards, Denzil On Sat, Jun 4, 2011 at 11:33 PM, Tom

If you have the permission of the users, you can probably use their OAuth tokens, which gives you an almost infinite API limit (actually it's still 350 per user, but you won't easily break that). If you want to perform an analysis on a group of users without their consent (without OAuth

Tom : I probably missed the point. I see the targeted users, their data is public and accessible using no authentication but the API limits are too small. I can't gain OAuth access from them. I would like to increase this to more API calls using OAuth. --Regards, Denzil On Sun, Jun 5, 2011

Ah! I feel similar. Which essentially means that despite acquiring data which is publicly available I will be limited to 150 requests per hour and even OAuth will not help increasing it to 350 ? --Regards, Denzil On Sat, Jun 4, 2011 at 2:32 AM, James Gifford ja...@jamesrgifford.com wrote:

If you authenticate, all requests (except for search) will go into the 350 requests. If you want 500, then perform 150 unauthenticated and 350 authenticated. If you need even more, use more accounts to do the requests. Tom On 6/3/11 11:06 PM, Correa Denzil wrote: Ah! I feel similar. Which

1. Does Twitter support https:// on all of its API calls? yup. 2. If so, is it possible to use PLAIN_TEXT signatures in OAuth? nope. 3. Does a simple end-user iPhone app need to provide a full 3-legged OAuth request, or can the 2-legged OAuth variant be used as referenced in the
