Hello, I am new to Twitter API and I am trying to understand whether I should apply for whitelisting my application. The documentation says: "IP whitelisting takes precedence to account rate limits. GET requests from a whitelisted IP address made on a user's behalf will be deducted from the whitelisted IP's limit, not the users. Therefore, IP-based whitelisting is a best practice for applications that request many users' data." However if for example 200 users are accessing twitter through my application in one hour, and each access from my app to twitter is done with the relevant end user as the twitter authenticated user, I can do 200*150=30000 API calls in one hours without whitelisting the IP address, which is more than the 20000 I could do with whitelisting. Can anyone give a counter example where whitelisting is absolutely necessary?
Thank you, Boaz
