Chad, Sorry for not being clear. I was thinking about Abraham William's suggestion above where Twitter Search API works with authenticated sessions+rate limiting, instead of IP based rate filtering. Just so you know, AppEngine has 30 second timeout on request to all AppEngine urls, and 10 second

I would recommend just using a physical server and uploading a simple php proxy script. If you have existing webspace, it will save you the trouble of setting up an complete ec2 build just to run a proxy script. On Oct 9, 7:11 pm, Akshar wrote: > Thanks Abraham. > > Any pointers on how to setup

Thanks Abraham. Any pointers on how to setup a proxy on amazon ec2 for GAE? On Oct 8, 6:07 pm, Abraham Williams <4bra...@gmail.com> wrote: > Pretty much. You have limited options: > 1) Run your Search API requests through a proxy where you will have > exclusive access to the IP. > 2) Wait for V2

Pretty much. You have limited options: 1) Run your Search API requests through a proxy where you will have exclusive access to the IP. 2) Wait for V2 of the Twitter API where the REST and Search APIs get combined so you can have authenticated search queries. 3) Hope Twitter slaps some duct tape on

http://apiwiki.twitter.com/Rate-limiting states that "for cloud platforms like Google App Engine, applications without a static IP addresses cannot receive Search whitelisting." Does that mean there is no way to avoid getting HTTP 503 response codes to search requests from app engine? On Oct 8,

Twitter should really in this case either white list all GAE IPs (I'm sure an email to Google could get all IPs they use) or allow charging API requests to an authenticated account rather than by IP (much like the REST API does). This way each GAE application would just set up a twitter account an

Hi Chad, I am sorry but that doesn't even help in the slightest. You are essentially saying that we shouldn't develop on the App Engine, since would now have to also buy a proxy. Which is completely unfeasible and defeats the purpose of why people are using the app engine. I understand that th

Hi All, GAE sites are problematic for the Twitter/Search API because the IPs making outgoing requests are fluid and cannot as such be easily allowed for access. Also, since most IPs are shared, other applications on the same IPs making requests mean that fewer requests per app get through. One w

Same here; my app runs on Google App Engine and 40% of the requests to the Twitter Search API get the 503 error message indicating rate limiting. Is there anything we as app authors can do on our side to alleviate the problem? /Martin On Oct 5, 1:53 pm, Paul Kinlan wrote: > I am pretty sure
