[twitter-dev] Re: Confused about rate limits
:) Ok, authenticated means what it means in the context of the API calls. I am a developer, I make the difference. Perhaps I wasn't too clear: first I used cURL to call http://api.twitter.com/account/ rate_limit_status.json anonymously, no oauth tokens, nothing, and I got 150. Then I used a CodeIgniter Twitter library from here https://github.com/elliothaughin/codeigniter-twitter to authenticate and make the call to account/verify_credentials and to account/ rate_limit_status. I got my account info ok, which means that the request was authenticated, but the rate limit was still 150 but with less remaining request (2 to be exact). There is no question about whether or not I am authenticated, because I call other API resources that require authentication and I always get the data with a 200 http status header, but the maximum hourly requests stay at 150 and the remaining requests go down after each call. I'm guessing that it may not stop at 150 on authenticated requests but I'd hate to have to sit here and click through my app 150 times to find out. Alin PS Why would you think I was talking about signing in on twitter.com when I was talking about verifying credential?

[twitter-dev] Re: Confused about rate limits
You actually have to put the 1 before account: http://api.twitter.com/1/{end
point}.json I just now realized that the CodeIgniter library that I
use does not add the version number. I guess I'll have to send the
developer a note on that.
Hey! It works fine now. Thank you. I would have never thought to look
at what URL the library was sending requests to.
Thanks to all who replied.

go away.
Rather than http://api.twitter.com/account/rate_limit_status.json;
use
http://api.twitter.com/account/1/rate_limit_status.json;
