It may sound foolish, but some of us coded our apps a couple years ago, improved them up to production readiness and then released and moved on to something else. Each of these mayor changes would in theory make one reread all this old code and find where one uses whatever you plan to change this

I disagree, Abraham. I requested whitelisting for my app because I needed more than 250 DMs per day. Twitter granted my request and my limit was increased considerably. This may be that Twitter did not increase DMs as a default. But at one time, if requested and justified, they would. This is why

Whitelisting does not remove the daily update and follower limits associated with POST requests; these limits are managed on a per user basis. Elevated DM limits are separate from the REST API whitelisting. It is possible that Twitter is no longer providing access to elevated DM limits as well

Thanks Matt! the trends.api.twitter.com server is working great. Question : what are the Rate Limit restrictions against that server? I am being very careful to respect the as_of time stamp for last request against a specific WOEID, but give 42 locations (the world plus 41 counties and cities)

Hi Ian, One step at at time. The server is experimental, which is why it isn't documented anywhere. I should have made that clear. Your feedback will let us know how it's performing. Because the server is hosting a cached version of the trends data you shouldn't find any issues with the rate

Well this is disappointing. 350 is not 20,000. I have one little twitter app (using the trends api) and I need around 800 requests per hour to get the data. This and a few other ideas I had just died. These are all small side projects with limited opportunities for monetization or funding.

Quick question, are the whitelists IP based? It's been a couple years since we requested the whitelisting, which was granted, but I am curious how that will affect us if we add more IP ranges to our servers? Thanks, Ben -- Twitter developer documentation and resources:
