Hey Roger, Thanks for sharing your code. A few things about the rate limits you are seeing:
The 150 rate limit is for non-authenticated requests to the Twitter API. These requests happen when no user identifying details are sent. The 350 rate limit is for OAuth authenticated requests to the Twitter API. These requests happen when you send a user token and secret. As you are not authenticating with Basic Auth in any of your requests you would only see the unauthenticated rate limit (150) or your OAuth rate limit (350). The reason you could be seeing 150 is that the token and secret you have are no longer valid - although in that situation I would expect us to return an error saying "Could not authenticate with OAuth. I'll be looking into other reasons why that might be happening later today. Hope that explains what you are seeing, Matt On Tue, Aug 31, 2010 at 12:39 AM, Roger Ertesvåg <webfo...@webfokus.no> wrote: > Hi, > I'm using the ruby twitter gem: > > http://github.com/jnunemaker/twitter > > So to set it up I do: > > oauth = Twitter::OAuth.new(CONFIG['twitter_key'], > CONFIG['twitter_secret']) > oauth.authorize_from_access(CONFIG['twitter_atoken'], > CONFIG['twitter_asecret']) > base = Twitter::Base.new(oauth) > > Then when I do: > > base.rate_limit_status > > I get: > > <#Hashie::Mash hourly_limit=150 remaining_hits=150 reset_time="Tue Aug > 31 08:26:37 +0000 2010" reset_time_in_seconds=1283243197> > > If I use the exact same code for other accounts I have I get: > > <#Hashie::Mash hourly_limit=350 remaining_hits=350 reset_time="Tue Aug > 31 08:22:40 +0000 2010" reset_time_in_seconds=1283242960> > > > Also, if I was not authorized by OAuth shouldn't the limit be even > lower? > > > Regards > Roger > > > On Aug 31, 1:03 am, Matt Harris <thematthar...@twitter.com> wrote: >> Hi Roger, >> >> It sounds like the OAuth part of your request isn't being seen by our >> servers.
