Tatham,

Thanks for the response. Does that mean If I use say twitteroauth (for 
OAuth) while making HTTP Get statuses then it will be authenticated api call 
even the method itself does not require authentication?

Can you please share some sample code for authenticated api call on methods 
that do not require authentication.?

Thanks,
Kumar

 *Subject:* [twitter-dev] Twitter Rate-limiting on the statuses/friends 
 list?

  

 Hi, 

 I am building a web application using sign-in with twitter and upon signed 
 in I am showing user's friends  followers. It's not another twitpic like 
 service but in the vertical market (CRM space).

  

 Since sign-in process api calls are authenticated hence will be charged to 
 the respective user (I am ok here) But *the real problem is rate-limiting 
 on the the friends/followers list* because GET statuses/friends (
 http://dev.twitter.com/doc/get/statuses/friends) calls do not requires 
 authentication and calls are deducted from the calling hosts IP address 
 allowance (my website) which are permitted 150 requests per hour which my 
 website will reach in few minutes.

  

 Earlier I could have asked for the *white-listing* from twitter but it's 
 not offered anymore. This features (friends/followers list) is very very 
 important features on my website and without this my website will be 
 toothless. Hence I'm very very frustrated. Can somebody help me how do 
 resolve this issue? 

  

 Thanks in advance.

  

 A Kumar.
