Yes, they aren't whitelisting apps based on id and that sucks. I'm not using the search API, I'm making use of authenticated API calls against each user and it has been working well (my app makes thousands of reqs per hour).
There actually is no rate limit on the calls I make (they are posts not get and twitter puts limits on gets). But, the twitter API team said that at times when there are excessive requests, they block these calls as well. I'm guessing there's some other app that is making a lot of post requests that are similar to mine. I don't know how to get over this. Right now I'm trying to move these calls over to some other server, been working on it. But, I love the appengine, I want to be here :( Is there no way you can make my app use some other ip range, that might help. -N On 8 April 2011 10:17, Nick Johnson (Google) <nick.john...@google.com>wrote: > Hi Nischal, > > Are you using the search API, or one of the other APIs?
