Re: [ecf-dev] TweetHub - increasing number of API calls allowed

[Scott Lewis <slewis@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi James and all,

I just ran into the rate limit by

1) starting/logging into an existing account
2) exiting tweethub
3) restarting tweethub...resulting in message/exception upon initial 
connect:

Connect to scottslewis failed.
 Exception getting twitter friends
 400:The request was invalid.  An accompanying error message will 
explain why. This is the status code will be returned during rate limiting.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<hash>
 <request>/statuses/friends.xml</request>
 <error>Rate limit exceeded. Clients may not make more than 100 
requests per hour.</error>
</hash>

Is this the expected behavior with the rate-limit?  If so, is there 
anything I can do to avoid hitting this rate limit...as I would like to 
avoid having it be a problem in demos (where it's sometimes necessary to 
stop/restart the app several times).

Thanks,

Scott
