Retrieve rate_limit_status for authenticated user (patch) #50

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
I'm working on a desktop application for Twitter, and I wanted to be able
to get information about a user's rate_limit (see
http://apiwiki.twitter.com/REST-API-Documentation?SearchFor=rate+limit&sp=1#Rate
Limiting
and
http://apiwiki.twitter.com/REST-API-Documentation?SearchFor=rate+limit&sp=1#rate
limitstatus).

The following patch seems to offer the functionality that I need.  I
created two methods in the Api class: GetRateLimitStatus and
MaximumHitFrequency.  The former retrieves the dictionary from Twitter and
the latter offers the number of seconds that can be used as a regular
interval for checking Twitter without exceeding the user's rate_limit.

There's a good chance that I will have further modifications pertaining to
the rate_limit business, but I wanted to contribute this back as soon as I
could.

Looks like they recently made a modification to the way the reset time works.  
Now, 
instead of being the time that the rate limits will be reset, it's the time at 
which 
the rate limits take effect.  I modified the patch to add an hour to the new 
reset 
time behavior.
