Hi, The document says "Each whitelisted entity, whether an account or IP address, is allowed 20000 requests per hour. ", in one of the twitter-development-talk 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. ", what does "20k per IP Per User" means ?
If N number of users are using my application which communicates with Twitter over a whitelisted IP, then in total, how many GET-requests- credit my application will get from Twitter per hour for authenticated based requists?
