Re: Question regarding the rate limit and my program. Auth and IP Addresses
1.) Yeah... that's really weird. Although I hadn't coded the C# code for retrieving the rss feed... I thought http://x:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/rss/blah.rss would automatically use http basic auth to login, correct? I just tried it again not too long ago, and after calling the url 100 times (to test), another login was also blocked for an hour. So I'm hoping I got something wrong when I thought http://x:[EMAIL PROTECTED] was a short-hand way to basic auth yourself. 2.) Haha, I agree with this. Woudln't scale well. The only people that the program will be following regularly is the university's twitter, me, and a FEW other admins that have never used twitter before. But twitter already has an optional sms device update enabled, so I thought maybe I missed something about email following. Guess not! Thanks for the reply. Glad to know my groups discussion got added right. Can't wait to get this thing working.

If they're signed in, it should not be limiting by IP at the same time. You might look at the rate_limit_status method to see if the rate limit is really what is affecting you. 2. I can't speak for the Twitter team, but I suspect 40,000+ emails being sent out because Scoble blew his nose is not going to scale well. > ps: I dont think my browser is working correctly.

Question regarding the rate limit and my program. Auth and IP Addresses
Hey, I'm making a small-application for our apartment complex at the university I'm attending. It's going to be used for campus announcements and requests. A lot of people have the same ip addresses, as both our university and local apartment complex use the same low-level internet provider. We often get a message in windows that another user has the same ip address as one of us. It's annoying! Anyways, my question: I know I'm going to be using the API (rss mainly) more than 100 times per hour with as many people as we're expecting 1.) If I make the users create accounts, and I authenticate them when getting status feeds... will that work even if a lot of them have the same ip address? Like, does the rate limit take in account their ip address if they're authenticated? I've tried testing this by using http://username:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/statuses/user_timeline/x.rss I'm still rate limited, even if I use another username and password combination. I'm hoping what I tried for an example isn't the same thing as HTTP basic auth. 2.) Another question. Is there any way to set twitter to auto-send an email when a user they're following posts a new tweet? ps: I dont think my browser is working correctly. New to Google Groups.
