I'm developing an application that uses the Twitter Search API. The app searches Twitter for many (at least a couple thousand) specific keywords in real time.
A server would be set up to get the results for the many keywords in tweets and store them in a database that the application would access to return the results, as opposed to every user searching for the keywords on their end every time. The problem is after a while I notice that Twitter stops responding with new results. Is Twitter caching the results after a set amount of requests I can make in a given time period? The FAQ section on the developer's wiki does not provide much info on the rate limiting of the Search API other than that it is generous. Do you guys have the inside scoop on the actual numbers? I see where to submit an application and the application is basically working, but my client hasn't finalized the details for the app like the name and url yet. Am I out of luck until I am ready to officially submit the application for whitelisting. If not, how can I get my application's server added to a whitelist to ensure that the tweets return from twitter are real-time? -- Twitter developer documentation and resources: https://dev.twitter.com/doc API updates via Twitter: https://twitter.com/twitterapi Issues/Enhancements Tracker: https://code.google.com/p/twitter-api/issues/list Change your membership to this group: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/twitter-development-talk
