Re: How to find out how many API requests have been used?
Today, I've increased the time interval to two minutes, and so far, I think it's working without problems with posting. I've just set the interval to 1 minute, do you think it will give me posting problems?

Re: How to find out how many API requests have been used?
It seems that after around 120 or so posts, the posts start failing. This is with a 1 minute time interval between posts. Any explanations?

Re: How to find out how many API requests have been used?
So if I increased this time interval to a minute or two, do you think posting would work?

Re: How to find out how many API requests have been used?
Thank you. This is not in the C# library I'm using, but I'll configure it manually. Do you by any chance know whether updating status counts against the rate limit? I wrote a little test program for playing around with the API, that simply posts the time as a status message every 30 seconds. Sometimes, when I go online and check the status messages, they stop abruptly, but the client doesn't give me a 404 error. Is this evidence of reaching the limit? I will try and check this using the method you pointed out, but if you by any chance know the answer to this question, help would be appreciated. -Maximz2005 On Dec 1, 8:23 pm, Cameron Kaiser <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I started exploring the Twitter API in C# yesterday, and I have a > > question.

How to find out how many API requests have been used?
Hi, I started exploring the Twitter API in C# yesterday, and I have a question. Is it possible to find out how many requests out of the maximum 70 per hour have been already used up? Twhirl does this somehow, and they say that this counter will be the same in all Twitter applications, so I assume there's an API method for doing this. I'm using the Yedda Twitter C# library, so you can just answer me with an API method name, and that'll work for me. Thank you so much, -Maximz2005 P.S. Twitter ROCKS!
