Hello.
I have a Ruby application using the twitter gem to search tweets using the Twitter REST API.
Since Friday afternoon 20 Nov 2015, I haven’t been able to get any results back. My program has been working until then.
The program hangs and either is killed or returns with error:
Twitter::Error::TooManyRequests: Rate limit exceeded.
I know there’s a limit that I can make a search request once every 15 minutes. But since Friday afternoon, I can’t make any requests. In other words, all requests fail with the error “rate limit exceeded”.
Is the Twitter REST API down? Or is it a problem with my account (eg access token issue)?
Please advise. Thank you.
