I’m experimenting with “https://api.twitter.com/2/tweets”, (GET /2/tweets | Docs | Twitter Developer Platform) with which you can get tweets whose id you know. I’m trying to find what the rate limits are for how often you can use this, if you have a free account.
First of all there’s the 15-minute limit. But calling /application/rate_limit_status after calling the above multiple times shows no change, as if they don’t count towards the 15-minute limit of anything.
Then there’s also the monthly limit, which in my dashboard is still at 0 of 500’000. Is there a monthly limit to these kinds of requests?
Also, you can download multiple tweets per request (upto 100). Do those count toward the limit too? Or do they count as 1?
I would double check this because i could be wrong but, as far as i can tell:
Monthly 500,000 limit is shared between Search and Stream, and /2/tweets calls don’t count towards it.
The ratelimits for /2/tweets are available in the http x-rate-limit headers, not in the /application/rate_limit_status - that one is for v1.1 API only.
