[twitter-dev] Rate limiting questions
Hi,
I'm currently in the process of writing an application which
periodically gets directed messages from a user (once every 120
seconds checks if the user has new messages).
The API I am using is the Twitter4j library in Java. Here's the error
I get:
403:The request is understood, but it has been refused. An
accompanying error message will explain why.
TwitterException{exceptionCode=[ece01d6a-01eb72d6], statusCode=403,
retryAfter=0,
rateLimitStatus=RateLimitStatusJSONImpl{remainingHits=326,
hourlyLimit=350, resetTimeInSeconds=1309899, secondsUntilReset=1629,
resetTime=Tue Jul 05 13:58:10 PDT 2011}, version=2.1.10}
I am confused as to how my remainingHIts is still 326 yet I am rate
limited? Additionally, even if I wait until the reset time indicated
before hitting the service again, I receive the rate limit exception
again with the reset time pushed back by an hour.
I am fairly confident that this service does not poll Twitter more
than 350 times a second, is there something else that could be causing
me to be rate limited?
Thanks

Hi there,
My application gives Read, Write and Direct Message permissions.
Additionally, I was able to retrieve direct messages using the
appropriate access tokens earlier in the day, now none of it works.
Is there some specific thing I need to do in order to have the
permission level of these tokens set beyond the normal OAuth process?
Thanks for the help.

[twitter-dev] Re: Rate limiting questions
I figured out what was happening.
It looks like I was using the AuthenticationURL instead of the
AuthorizationURL and this was causing me to not obtain the proper
permissions.
Thank for your help!

[twitter-dev] Re: My TwitterJavaClient Opens Browser Window to Authenticate, WHY?
What you are seeing is the Twitter OAuth authentication. As far as I know there is no way to get around doing this at least once if you are using OAuth. You can still use basic authentication (username / password) but it's not recommended and I believe there are some limitations with it compared with OAuth.
