Strange error response to #account.rate_limit_status?
Clive Crous
I noticed that my rate limit kept getting in the way of my testing
today so I started printing out the rate_limit_status at the begining
of my test so that I could see how much (in that hour) I have to work
with.
My code to print it out is as follows:
p @client.account.rate_limit_status?
The rate limit check only works on every third or fourth attempt. When
it does succeed I get the following print:
#<Grackle::TwitterStruct remaining_hits=30, reset_time="Thu Aug 26
19:03:22 +0000 2010", hourly_limit=30,
reset_time_in_seconds=1282849402>
( I can't believe I'm only allowed 30 per hour :( is that really normal? )
But mostly I get the following:
....../grackle/client.rb:255:in `rescue in process_response': Unable
to decode response: 705: unexpected token at '<HTML>
(Grackle::TwitterError)
<HEAD><TITLE>302 Moved Temporarily</TITLE></HEAD>

from test.rb:11:in `<main>'
(where test.rb:11 is the print I pasted near the top)
Thanks,

I'm receiving this same error again. This time using oauth (thanks to
your emails in my other post) and using the following method this
time, not rate check:
client.users.show?( :screen_name => twitter_screen_name )
