Hello!

I want to increase rate limit for my app (app id: 19782225), mainly for following endpoints.

  • direct_messages/events/new
  • users/search.

I saw other topics, and I tried to send request from following form.

https://help.twitter.com/forms/platform

But I couldn’t find “I would like to apply for elevated POST limits.”.
Can I have that displayed on the support form?

Thanks!

How many users does your app have? If it’s just you posting, you cannot increase the limits - the limit increase means allocating each individual user their own limit instead of sharing it between all users of an app.

Also there is no increased limit for the GET endpoint users/search.

There are no elevated limits for those endpoints - direct message posting is capped on a per-user basis (account limits are separate from API limits) and there is no elevated option for the legacy user search API.

Thank you for replying!
I misunderstood about rate limit per User and per Application.

Our product is under developing so there are no users for now.
And I have another questions about those endpoints limit.

direct_messages/events/new

We want to send some notification by twitter direct message from one specific account.
Then, per account limit about direct message, 1000/day is applied for the account so we can send 1000 notification at maximum.
Is there any way to send direct message exceeding that limit? Can post limit increasing be able to solve this?

users/search or (users/lookup)

We want to use users/search api to get the user information specified by the form.
Then, 900/15min-window rate limit is applied for application(?).
Is there any way to search user exceeding that limit? (Can it be solved by using authenticated user’s token?)

Thanks!

No.

users/search or (users/lookup) … Can it be solved by using authenticated user’s token?

Yes. Both users/search and users/lookup can be called with the user’s token, and each user’s token will have a separate rate limit. https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/twitter-api/v1/rate-limits
