Re: [twitter-dev] Twitter Streaming API rate limiting frequency-track

[John Kalucki]

You can test new keywords with a default access account to get an idea of
their velocity, then roll it into your main account. Exactitude isn't
helpful, as word frequency varies as the tweet volume varies. The limit
rates are fixed and have not changed in over a year.

 Hi,
 Since there is no per keyword rate limiting in streaming api, adding one
 keyword which gets lot of tweets can limit the data of low frequency
 keywords.
 What is the frequency at which data is limited at different access
 levels?Is it constant or keeps changing? If this is known we can find the
 frequency of a keyword before tracking using another stream or search api
 and  add it only if the sum is not exceeding the maximum.
 Please confirm whether this is a good strategy for such situation?

 Thanks,
 Karthik

Thanks John, but my application needs to add/remove keywords on a regular
basis,  and  i am planning an algorithm which does something like calculate
current frequency for main account which is  near approximation for the
current time (calculating based on last 10 mins,1 hr,1 day frequencies)  and
on adding a new keyword it increases. I cant find a way to determine when to
stop adding new keyword without knowing an upper limit.
