Serge, You can always verify the whitelisted status of your IP or user through a call to account/rate_limit_status. For instance, here are my results:
doug$ curl -u dougw:PASSWORD http://twitter.com/account/rate_limit_status.xml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <hash> <reset-time type="datetime">2009-07-21T08:29:35+00:00</reset-time> <remaining-hits type="integer">19995</remaining-hits> <hourly-limit type="integer">20000</hourly-limit> <reset-time-in-seconds type="integer">1248164975</reset-time-in-seconds> </hash> Notice the hourly rate limit of 20000 indiciating my account is whitelisted. Removing the authentication will give me the results for my IP address: doug$ curl http://twitter.com/account/rate_limit_status.xml<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <hash> <reset-time type="datetime">2009-07-21T08:27:45+00:00</reset-time> <remaining-hits type="integer">148</remaining-hits> <hourly-limit type="integer">150</hourly-limit> <reset-time-in-seconds type="integer">1248164865</reset-time-in-seconds> </hash> The hourly limit here is 150 indiciating my IP is not whitelisted. For completeness, our rate limiting article is here [1]. Again, whitelisting does not ensure your users will not get suspended. Whitelisting only affects rate limits. 1. http://apiwiki.twitter.com/Rate-limiting Thanks, Doug -- Do you follow me? http://twitter.com/dougw On Tue, Jul 21, 2009 at 12:29 AM, sjespers<se...@webkitchen.be> wrote: > > Thanks for looking in to this and for unsuspending my account. > Did you also confirm that the server I am working from is whitelisted? > How can I make sure that it is?
