what is the 100k follow limit and why does it break your app?
- marketer 16y agoRight now I have the "shadow" role for the streaming API: see http://dev.twitter.com/pages/streaming_api_methods http://dev.twitter.com/pages/streaming_api_methods I requested "birddog", which provides 400k stream follows.
- mprovo1 16y agoFrom what I understand, he is using the 'statuses/filter' call of the stream api, filtering with users that have installed his app. This allows him to get the tweets of all his users in a single connection to twitter. 'statuses/filter' and 'statuses/sample' are the only two methods provided to all accounts and they are very limited. I mean, 100K users is a big number for sure, but not a surprising number given it's a twitter app on facebook. We are far from the firehose level! As a work around, he might be able to go back to the REST api, use statuses/friends_timeline, and stay within the 300 per hour/per user limit. Good luck Michael.
