Twitter Developers
Firstly I want to express how disappointed I’m with the Twitter services lately.
I’ve a really critical app that uses Twitter’s methods to do some stuff and I’ve facing a problem that only happens randomly.
To reproduce this error all you have to do is this:
Access https://dev.twitter.com/console and submit the URL below
http://api.twitter.com/1/friends/ids.json?screen_name=gabesimas ( this is not me )
Sometimes it gives me the correct response that would be the friends’ id and sometimes it throws an error saying that I’ve reached the hourly limit
Right times:
{
“next_cursor_str”: “0”,
“previous_cursor_str”: “0”,
“next_cursor”: 0,
“ids”: [
17416571,
46284820, …
}
Wrong times:
{
“request”: “/1/friends/ids.json?screen_name=gabesimas”,
“error”: “Rate limit exceeded. Clients may not make more than 20000 requests per hour.”
}
That’s unacceptable !
I definitely need to know how to get over it and whether it’s only a period issue or it’s going to be like that for a while .
Sincerely
Paulo Almeida
