I apologize if this question has already been answered in the archives. I've followed this list for a couple days and hadn't seen this specific question come up.
My application has been white listed. In doing so, I specified a set of 5 IP addresses from which traffic from my application may come. TFM states [1]: we offer whitelisting which will raise an account or IP address' rate limit to 20000 requests per hour. My understanding is that this means each of my 5 IP Addresses can make 20,000 unique API requests per hour (for a total of 120,000 API requests / hr as long as I write some sort of IP Address load balancing code.) But I have not seen that actually spelled out in so many words. Is my assumption correct? (my app is nowhere near that limit, but I am working on some capacity planning numbers.) If my assumption is correct, is there a further limit on the number of unique addresses my Application can have whitelisted? Also, is whitelisting limited to IPv4? I have not yet tried it with any IPv6 addresses. [1] http://apiwiki.twitter.com/Rate-limiting?SearchFor=white+list&sp=1 -- Patrick Burrows http://www.CleverHumans.com
