Why using twitter API ?

[rt2]

Hi Martin

may I know why TB is using API keys? because I know some bots arent using them

just wanted to know the diff ? and how would that affect the accounts regarding locking/suspending the accounts

Thank you.

It allows things to be done that cannot be done otherwise, such as the instant notifications of followers / tweets / user actions.

Makes searching and drilling deep a lot easier.

As to limits, have a search of twitter their limits are all public

ok, and how many accounts I can add to TD if I use one twitter api?

Thanks

There is no limit.

Although it is a footprint, so think about what accounts you are using on an API.

ie do not put a "spammy" account on the same API as a real long term account.
