Hi all,
If I understand correctly from this page, the limits for user-auth API endpoints are per-user, shared across all apps that user makes use of.
One of my applications has the use case of blocking/muting NFT artists and cryptocurrency users; that is, for each user of the application, it trawls through that user’s home timeline looking for such NFT/crypto users to block or mute. For users who have high following counts (e.g. are following 3000+ people), this frequently means my app can consume all 15 available statuses/home_timeline requests at all times for a given user, despite only looking for new tweets that have not been checked yet.
Are there formal or informal rules about apps doing this? I’m a bit surprised that there would not be (as an app which does this would effectively bar any other apps from querying a user’s home timeline). In big cases I will have to accept being unable to trawl a user’s timeline without missing tweets due to the fast nature of it, but I am mostly wondering about how many calls I am allowed to make and so forth.
