Hey, I recently subscribed to the premium v1 account and I’m hoping someone can give me some clarity on the request limitations.
I’ve attached a screen shot of my subscription , the thing that’s confusing me is that I am limited to 500 request, each request can return 500 tweets. Given those limitations. that means my total tweet limit is 250,000 which contradicts the “TWEET USAGE LIMIT” of 5M
I’m assuming I should be able to make 1 query, and return up to 5M tweets using that 1 query, by using the “next” token, however when I do that my request usage increments.
Can anyone give me some clarity, as this type of limitation in premium pretty bad for me.
it’s a bit confusing how they made it - it’s significantly more restricted than that:
yes, it’s 500 calls, with each call being able to get a max of 500 tweets, or 30 days worth of tweets, whichever comes first, so in practice you’ll use more calls.
the 5M tweets is an upper bound on the highest access level, which you won’t hit unless you upgrade to that.
Each time you make a successful call, it counts as a request, so paging through a single query will use multiple requests.
That’s so expensive! I can see why they can charge this money, but it’s screwing over the little guys trying to get a leg up.
Thank you for the response.
