Requests in premium api

[saghi_yeganeh]

How requests are calculated in the premium api? I just upgraded my account to paid premium api and found out the 50 requests that already came with the free sandbox are also included in the paid version!! Also was wondering for each search request how many actual requests is calculated? I am using the following python code.

tweets = collect_results(rule,
max_results=10000,
result_stream_args=premium_search_args)

Yes, the requests are included in your billing cycle regardless of the package you are subscribed to (so if you have sandbox, or other paid levels each request is counted)
As for “actual requests” it depends on your query, if your query returns 5000 tweets, then you need to make 10 requests: 10x500

Thank you for the response @Connexinet!

I’m not exactly sure which Python tool you are using @saghi_yeganeh, but do note that the highest max_results allowed with the Premium Search API is as follows:
Sandbox - 100 Tweets per request
Paid Premium - 500 Tweets per request
