The new page Matt cited will tell you all the answers... great to have that available! 100 API calls per hour (unless you are white-listed) is the constraint for the situation you described, unless you hit the 2,000 limit and don't have 2,000 followers. In that case, you have to wait no more than 1 hour to execute the next successful API call. If you are white-listed, the limit is 20,000 an hour, but that is moot for most of us and 2,000 becomes the practical constraint. If you aren't white-listed and have only one client hitting the API, it should be easy to figure out when you'll be able to make requests again. With multiple clients contributing to the limit, I never could figure out a way they could independently estimate when the limit would expire, but I stopped trying when my app was white-listed. Nick
