Hey Alex,

We have looked into the search api and are currently rewriting the
application.
We will test it in a couple hours and I'm pretty sure it will be what
we need.
There are just have a few little issues to overcome first.

Thanks for the tip and help!

Sure does.  You might check out the Search API.  You can retrieve
@replies that way as well, and in higher volume.

Hey Alex,

The application retrieves all of the @replies to a single specific
user using http://twitter.com/statuses/replies.xml and stores them to
a database.

As there is a limit of the last 20 @replies and I do not know really
how much traffic I am requesting the replies.xml on every visit.
It could be as high as 2500 requests an hour or as few as 200, but I
think it will be a very brief period of high traffic with a plateau
and decline within 60 hours to a sustained level of 500/hr.

If there was a way to retrieve more than the last 20 @replies, say 500
or so, I could easily step this frequency down using caching and not
worry about missing any replies.

Does that make sense?

Thanks Alex,

-Lee

What the application does, how often you plan to request which methods.

Between one and three days.  I just cleared out the backlog of requests.

White list application... I may have not understood what is needed from me.

2008-11-18 Thread ThatLeeGuy

Hello All,

I submitted an application to be added to the white list from my
personal account. However I think I did a few things wrong:

I want an website application white listed that uses an authenticated
request for past replies. Is it ok that we used a domain and ip in our
application rather than a user account?

What do you need to know in the way of application details to provide
you with enough information to make a decision?

Lastly, I understand that you probably have greater issues today, how
long do you think it will be before we know if we are approved?

Thanks All,

Lee
