I’m creating a Application with python twitter API. I want to make a lot of status calls to twitter.
I understand unauthenticated calls are limited to 150 an hour.

So I went ahead and authenticated myapp through my twitter account. Still I’m getting only 150 requests an hour . As per the Document, I should be getting 350 requests a hour.

https://dev.twitter.com/docs/rate-limiting#rest

I used OAuth to authenticate my app,

api = twitter.Api(consumer_key='consumer_key',
consumer_secret='consumer_secret', access_token_key='access_token', access_token_secret='access_token_secret')

How can I get to 350 requests/hour. If I want more, where I can request it?

    Probably waay too late on this one. I had this issue. I believe it happened because I was logged into the Twitter(website) on my personal account(not the account I setup for my app) while running my app. Once I got a new access token, I was back to 350, and was able to verify my credentials.
