Hmmm! We seem to have conflicting evidence here! I just (again) verified that twxlate.com is getting 20k requests per hour per user.
How long ago was it that Alex and other API team members made the recommendation that you mentioned? Is it possible that twitter changed policy since then? Either way, I agree that we now need a very clear affirmation from twitter as to the policy. I sure hope I don't have to eat my words! :-) Jim On Aug 10, 9:08 pm, Dewald Pretorius <[email protected]> wrote: > On Aug 10, 11:02 pm, "jim.renkel" <[email protected]> wrote: > > > My logic is now: "Ifratelimiting is not peruser, then all users of > > anIPaddress will share one pool of20krequests per hour.
