Hey Paul.

Are you authenticating, or querying the API anonymously? Anonymous
queries regularly get rate limit exceeed errors from AppEngine,
since Twitter limit IP addresses to 100 queries per hour, and
AppEngine urlfetch service only makes requests from a small set of
addresses.

The solution is to create Twitter account(s) for your application, or
if it is acting on behalf of specific Twitter users, add OAuth
consumer support to your code and have the users authorize your
application, so the queries are charged to their accounts instead.

If you are getting ApplicationError exceptions, well that is something
altogether different.

 Hi Guys,

 My Site www.twollo.com is having some issues connection to Twitter.  It is
 hosted on the Google App Engine.  I am just emailing to ask is anyone else
 on the App engine experiencing problems connecting to Twitter?

 I have tested some of my other sites that use urllib on the Google App
 engine and all appear to be able to make successful http connections to
 other sites: such as yahoo etc.

 I have also tested some other Twitter Applications that I know that are
 hosted on the App Engine.  I am trying to isolate the problem, is it the App
 Engine end, is it Twitter (have they blocked Google) Any ideas are
 welcome?

 Hopefully it will right itself. :)

 Paul

Hi David,

Every request was either authenticated (both oauth and normal basic  
auth) or outside the rate limiting criteria, I.e posts.

Regardless the situation seems to not be occuring now, it is just  
trying to get to the bottom of the problem as there were proper app  
engine exceptions but that could be a result of the status code  
returned.
