You will always receive limit notices if you go beyond the sample. If you
get them on a new predicate set, roll-back to the previous predicate set and
investigate. If you need more predicates or a higher proportion of tweets,
apply for higher access at a...@twitter.com

 Do you know the limit though?

 Sometime I upload many tracks, I am afraid my app hits the limit, so I
 want to do some detection on my side to make sure there is no tweet
 lost.,

   Hi Mark,
   Thank you for your reply, but could you explain more? For example, if
   I search a very hot key word (not a, or o ), and the tweet flow is
   5000 tweets/min. Does this mean that I only be able to receive
   2000tweets/min because the restriction? what about the other 3000
   tweets? Will they be delayed or just discarded?

The

 HI Everyone,
 I am wondering if there is a rate limiting for the pushing speed
 for
 the Twitter's streaming API?
 
 I first use the Twitter searching API to search a and it returns
 2300 tweets per min to me. And then I tested o, it also returned
 me
 around 2400 tweets per min. Now, I tested track = a, b.
 Theoretically, the streaming API should returns me more than 4000
 tweets per min. However, I found the streaming API still only
 returns
 me about 2400 tweets!
 
 My downloading speed is 16.68Mb/s So it seems that I still have
 enough
 spare bandwidth, but the Twitter just does not push more data to
 me.
 Is this true? Are there any internal limitation has been done by
 Twitter?
 
 Cheers
 Lawrence
