Twitter API problem

In Twitter limits there is written: 150 API requests per hour.

So it is server requests or user requests?

We want to make some website with possible auto posts of Tweets. That somebody enters message and time and every day, it will be posted with his Twitter Account.

So if 150 API requests is a limit for server, it is not good. But if it is API for user it is ok.

Maybe anybody have experience with it?

  • The limit on Twitter API calls is indeed per IP Address, not per user. I also was affected by this limitation for an application I built, so I feel your pain!

    A couple of articles that explain it in detail:

    Twitter's API limit: Static control in a dynamic world

    Twitter puts new limits on API calls: Who's affected | Webware - CNET

    This makes it a lot harder to deploy web-based Twitter services, and makes a case for building desktop software.

    • Here was mentioned 20.000 requests per hour.

      But on Twitter Wiki posted that: "The default rate limit for calls to the REST API is 150 requests per hour."

      Why these numbers are so different?
