Currently using the Twitter API for user login/registration on our site.

I have two questions:

  1. In the event that an account gets locked/limited, would the API functionality also be locked/limited for that account? Also, what would happen in either case? (i.e. how would the functionalities be affected if you were just limited vs. completely locked out.)

  2. Due to our account following too many users too quicky, our page became unavailable to view for a period of time. During this time, would users still be able to use the Twitter API to register/login or not?

1: The status of a user (private, public, restricted) does not affect their ability to use Login with Twitter endpoints

Suspended users may be different - i don’t know about that because i don’t have access to a suspended account to test.

2: if your own, developer account is restricted on twitter from posting or following, or for doing something else i don’t think it should affect other people being able to use “login with twitter” functions with your app but i’m not twitter so i can’t say for sure. If your developer account is suspended your apps stop working though (as far as i know).
