Hello everyone!
It seems like Twitter is about to tighten it’s restrictions on usability of their API without any announce. Why not just to disable API at all?
I have a bunch of apps, that crawl Twitter using Net::Twitter from CPAN. I respect every policy of Twitter, but today I found, that my apps, created about week ago, is constantly receiving 401.
I create new apps, put it to the same crawler, et voila! Everything is working fine…
So, it seems like Twitter is delimiting absolute maximum number of allowed requests per application ( i.e. even if we make, say, one request per minute during 15 minutes window, and will do this everyday, expect this gets broken forever after. say. 1M completed request ).
Could Twitter kindly confirm this or explain, if I’m ( hopefully ) wrong?
