Scheduling #3

Open gparvez opened 10 years ago

gparvez commented 10 years ago

I was wondering how the scheduling worked for SocialMedia plugins. For example, how often is it set to sweep Twitter/Instagram/etc. for new messages? It looks like Instagram is running at a very high frequency and I'm concerned about hitting the API rate limit. Is there a way to control this or make it run less frequently?

Hi @gparvez, sorry for taking so long to get back to you again!

The scheduler will run based on the settings on the /admin/manage/scheduler page. The default should be every minute and the Instagram API has a limit of 5000 requests per hour (http://instagram.com/developer/endpoints/), so we should be good. Double check what's on the Scheduler configuration page though!

How is the plugin working for you?
