Key Project Challenges:

• 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.

Solutions:

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.
