Error: Too Many Requests

Post by sntx »

Hi Martin,

Recently got this error: "Too Many Requests - Returned in API v1.1 when a request cannot be served due to the application's rate limit having been exhausted for the resource."

From Twitter's API website: https://dev.twitter.com/rest/public/rate-limiting:
"Rate limiting in version 1.1 of the API is primarily considered on a per-user basis — or more accurately described, per access token in your control"

I currently have 11 accounts all using the same API Key. Each account is following 75 users every 24 hours, which seems pretty safe to me. Am I getting this error because of the combined activity of all accounts?

Thanks!
