Hey guys - I'm curious as to know whether there's any problems with the search API?
I'm curling from a PHP script, and it keeps timing out with 'couldn't connect to host' errors when my URL is a search (eg: http://search.twitter.com/search.atom?q=test). Interestingly, if I curl either of the following: http://api.twitter.com/1/help/test.xml http://api.twitter.com/1/account/rate_limit_status.xml ...and it doesn't time out, I get a true, and my rate limit is 150/150. I'm not using any authentication, this is a straight request from a script. Could I be on an IP blacklist for search (can I check this?)? I've been pretty careful with my caching, I make nowhere near 150 requests an hour, although my site is on a shared server, so it's entirely plausible someone else has been hammering it. Although if that was the case, would something not show up on the odd times I actually get the rate limit to show something? If anyone can help, or point me in the direction of something I've missed, I'd be eternally grateful... ben -- Twitter developer documentation and resources: http://dev.twitter.com/doc API updates via Twitter: http://twitter.com/twitterapi Issues/Enhancements Tracker: http://code.google.com/p/twitter-api/issues/list Change your membership to this group: http://groups.google.com/group/twitter-development-talk?hl=en
