Re: [twitter-dev] Rate Limit problem even with 20k calls?

[Matt Harris]

Hey Hugo,

The rate limit you refer to is for the REST API only.
The Search API, which it looks like your using, has it's own rate limiting
system external to the REST API.

Re: [twitter-dev] Rate Limit Problem

Hi,

Are you sure thats not the user you're requesting being suspended rather that 
you?

Have you checked your HTTP response to see how many API calls you have left?

Scott.
