Create Incredible Websites With Twitter's API

Twitter is currently the darling of the web. With the highest growth rates out of all the social network and new media sites, Twitter is on a roll. The simplicity of the system and certain voyeuristic tendencies of the internet seem to be driving the growth. Essentially Twitter asks the user: "what are you doing?" and you obligingly tell Twitter, who in turn tells all your follows.

Twitter has included a powerful API in to their program which allows start ups and established web companies to build or enhance sites with the Twitter functionality. Agriya has undertaken many different Twitter applications and has extensive knowledge on the power and limitations of their API.

You should consider using Twitter in some way on your website because it opens you up to a massive audience, and not just that, but various tech blogs are giving Twitter and websites built using the Twitter API so much free exposure at the moment.

  • Rate limit

The Twitter API only allows clients to make a limited number of calls in a given hour.The default rate limit for calls to the REST API is 150 requests per hour. The REST API does account- and IP-based rate limiting. Authenticated API calls are charged to the authenticating user's limit while unauthenticated API calls are deducted from the calling IP address' allotment.

  1. Caching: Storing API responses in our application we expected high-volume usage. For example, we did not try to call the Twitter API on every page load of our hugely popular 140love. Instead, we call the API infrequently, cache the response on our end, and display the local version on page loads.
  2. Prioritize active users: Our site keeps track of many Twitter users (for example, fetching their current status or statistics about their Twitter usage), and considered only requesting data for users who have recently signed into our site.
