The Twitter document says "Each whitelisted entity, whether an account or IP address, is allowed 20000 requests per hour.", but in the twitter-development-talk group, i found this , "What you all have been confirming is correct. The intended behavior is 20k per IP unauthenticated, and 20k per IP *per user* authenticated. This is not a bug. " on the following link, http://groups.google.com/group/twitter-development-talk/browse_thread/thread/e75daf87a23a0a61/6e7a6378577cc821?lnk=gst&q=Rate+Limiting+Question#6e7a6378577cc821
What does "20k per IP Per User" means exactly , Assume a user is whitelisted and he is using my app which uses a whitelisted IP, for this scenario how many 'GET requests' credit my app will get from Twitter per hour? regards, Vikas On Dec 15, 9:12 pm, Abraham Williams <4bra...@gmail.com> wrote: > Here is Twitter's documentation on rate > limiting:http://apiwiki.twitter.com/Rate-limiting > > Abraham > > > > On Tue, Dec 15, 2009 at 09:21, vikas <cvika...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hi, > > I went through the group lists searching for a clear understanding of > > API rate limit, but unfortunately could not able to get a clear idea. > > There are already many discussions about this but i am asking this > > again as i need this information to develop my product. > > > I have few simple questions, the answers to which will solve my > > problem, any one please help, > > > does the limit applies to IP only? > > ex, if N number of users are requesting through a whitelisted IP, then > > only IP's limit count is decreased and the individual users count is > > not changed > > > or is it ip and also user based ? > > ex, if my IP is whitelisted, then for 20,000 users i will get 20k * > > 20k requests credit per hour. > > > Please explain the exact way the rate limit is working........ > > > thanks and regards, > > Vikas > > -- > Abraham Williams | Awesome Lists |http://bit.ly/sprout608 > Project | Intersect |http://intersect.labs.poseurtech.com > Hacker |http://abrah.am|http://twitter.com/abraham > This email is: [ ] shareable [x] ask first [ ] private. > Sent from Madison, WI, United States
