Hello,

I am new to Twitter API and I am trying to understand whether I should
apply for whitelisting my application. The documentation says:
"IP whitelisting takes precedence to account rate limits. GET requests
from a whitelisted IP address made on a user's behalf will be deducted
from the whitelisted IP's limit, not the users. Therefore, IP-based
whitelisting is a best practice for applications that request many
users' data."
However if for example 200 users are accessing twitter through my
application in one hour, and each access from my app to twitter is
done with the relevant end user as the twitter authenticated user, I
can do 200*150=30000 API calls in one hours without whitelisting the
IP address, which is more than the 20000 I could do with whitelisting.
Can anyone give a counter example where whitelisting is absolutely
necessary?

Thank you,
Boaz
