I’m trying to read my twit (send with a smartphone) for a localhost application, twitter as remote…
I make a jquery+json script but with my crazy setInterval at 25ms, I find quickly the limit of 150 requests/hour, fail (like a whale)…
Do you know if the twitter API can help me to do more “read only” ?
Another option is to make my own twitter parser to extract from html (a tiny bot), but sound like stupid…
thank
You can switch to twitter’s streaming API which reverses the way that you get the data. Instead of you connecting to twitter and asking for the feed every 25ms you establish a connection to twitter and they will push the updates through that connection:
Detailed examples and documentation are here: https://dev.twitter.com/docs/streaming-api/user-streams
This will get around the rate limits and make you local app very responsive.
