Quotas & limitations
We have the following limits/quota to abide by:
- This tool only scrapes tweets from the last 7 Days
- Scraped tweets are throttled to a limit of 15,000 tweets per 15 minute interval
- There's a quota per month (on the free tier), so we can only scrape 1,500 tweets per month
TIP
This quota seems to be slow at updating, so you can try to push through scrapes as quickly as possible before it updates
There's no consequence for exceeding the quota, but you will be blocked from further scraping when it is maxed out
:::error the command line will output [🐸/tscrape]: Error 404 - No tweets found.
if the quota has been maxed out. :::
Managaing Quotas & API keys
We have a DesignDev twitter developer account; login info and API keys stored on zoho.
Log into the Developer Portal Dashboard to monitor quota usage and API keys.
From here you can see:
