what is the best way to get whitelisted for more than 360/hour API calls? I'm trying to do some network analysis and data mining and am held up by the API limit. I've applied about 4-5 times and have been denied each time.
- TimH 16y agoWhy did you get denied? If you don't know, ask @episod/Taylor to tell you.
- abraham 16y agoMy understanding is Twitter has basically stopped approving whitelistings. Unless you are in the 1% that has a genuine need they won't give it to you. Have you looked into using the Streaming API? http://dev.twitter.com/pages/streaming_api http://dev.twitter.com/pages/streaming_api
- abraham 16y agoThe likelihood of rejection might not be as dire as I previously stated but you can judge for yourself: http://groups.google.com/group/twitter-development-talk/msg/bf34a7c5379b05ec http://groups.google.com/group/twitter-development-talk/msg/...
- neilkod 16y agoI do in fact use the streaming api but that doesn't help with things I need, such as getting screen names based on a twitter id, and getting lists of followers for thousands of people at a time, in order to do some graph processing.
- abraham 16y agoHow are you getting user_ids without having the companion screen_name? You can get some extra API calls by proxying through http://apigee.com/ http://apigee.com/. You will likely just have to delay some of the processing to stay withing the rate limit.
- irons 16y agoYou received overt rejections? So far I've just heard nothing back.
