Does anyone know Twitter's rate limi开发者_Go百科t on posting? Looking at their web page they claimed to not have one but I get an exception thrown if my program posts too fast... Any help is appreciated.

Current Twitter limits

The current technical limits for accounts are:

• Direct messages (daily): The limit is 1,000 messages sent per day.
• Tweets: 2,400 per day. The daily update limit is further broken down into smaller limits for semi-hourly intervals. Retweets are counted as Tweets.

The docs URLs have changed. You'll find more API info here: https://dev.twitter.com/docs/rate-limiting

Twitter limits on Posts are on a per user bases with api 1.1.

Here are the rate limites for get requests: https://dev.twitter.com/docs/rate-limiting/1.1/limits

And an explanation of get/post requests here: https://dev.twitter.com/docs/rate-limiting/1.1

It looks like the limit is 1000/day, but Twitter breaks rate limites down to 15 minute increments, so you might limit your api to around 9-10 tweets / 15min
