There are 3 different screenshot for the rate limits on post requests. Can you look at them and please tell me what is the true one?

I have an elevant access on v2 API.

Source 1: POST /2/tweets | Docs | Twitter Developer Platform
Source 2: https://developer.twitter.com/en/portal/products
Source 3: Rate limits | Docs | Twitter Developer Platform

So this is a bit confusing with Manage Tweets, but both are true. There are two limits in place. One for every 15 minutes, so you can make 200 requests in 15 minutes but only 300 per 3 hour period. I hope this explains what’s happening further.

So I got that now.

But the question is about per app rates. If you can check the POST follow request ( POST /2/users/:id/following) you will see 1000 successfull request per 24 hours per App. But in this source (POST /2/users/:id/following | Docs | Twitter Developer Platform) I can’t see any per app rate limiting.

If I use the POST follow endpoint, what will my rate limit be? This is more confusing.

Thanks.

Hey are you there?

I’m very interested in this topic as well, as its a bit confusing across the Twitter SLAs.

Can someone help me understand what tier/pricing level, etc would allow for polling to get the latest (so not publishing, just reading)

  1. 120 request per second (or is 60 the max?)
  2. 7200 requests per hour
  3. 50000 request per day

Thanks!

50 requests per 15-minute window per each authenticated user POST /2/users/:id/following | Docs | Twitter Developer Platform however, each individual user is also subject to their own limits: What is the Twitter follow limit and ratio? | Twitter Help.

Polling what exactly? If you want latest tweets from some users, use the filter stream and get them live without polling: Filtered stream introduction | Docs | Twitter Developer Platform
