Thank you very much.. yes you understood my exact requirement. It is said that POST api calls are not rate limited.. sending tweets is a POST call. so it should not be rate limited. Am I right? What is the api call to post a tweet? I think "POST statuses/update" is used to post a tweet and it is non rate limited api call(according to documentation). If I'm correct,then my application doesn't have any rate limiting problems. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
