We have developed an app which captures tweets containing specific keywords. Then we use a moderation dashboard to select tweets to be displayed on live Tv broadcast. Similar to what Current TV did during the presidential debate.
The problem is, we apparently just got banned/block.... apparently because we are calling on the Streaming API too frequently. What our app does is collect tweets, and at the time of being blocked, we had 5 different searches on the Streaming API at the same time which had been running for the past 3 weeks. Also, we were using our personal accounts through the same IP. So We have fixed our code, and stopped all running processes. We have also moved our personal accounts to non-whitelisted IP address, and plan on using the Whitelisted IP address only for our app.. Our code uses the phirehose PHP interface to Twitter Streaming API as source for our app, How do we get Whitelisted again? Now what we are planning on doing is running different searches on different IPs if necessary. thanks!
