Rate Limiting
Clients are allowed 100 requests per 60 sixty minute time period, starting from
their first request. The rate
limited is applied to both authenticated and unauthenticated requests.
Unauthenticated requests are rate
limited by IP, and authenticated requests are tracked by the requesting user
ID. POST requests (ex: updating
status, sending a direct message) do not count against the rate limit, but some
actions may have caps on
them to prevent abuse.
Notification that a client has exceeded the rate limit will be sent as JSON or
XML when either is the requested
format, and otherwise will be sent in plain text. A status code of 400 will be
returned when the client has
exceeded the rate limit.
