Re: [nodejs] Node.js - Rate limit exceeded when consuming friends/ids

[pushpinder rattan]

which module are you using for the GET request?

I am creating a node.js app that interacts with twitter REST API to get user's information. I cannot get oauth to work as I'm receiving the
rate limit warning "Rate limit exceeded. Clients may not make more than 150 requests per hour". But I am able to get the results with response status set to 200 OK

My GET request header looks like below,

{ authorization: 'OAuth oauth_consumer_key="2SrY0yqoV7u11sBZVazpFg",oauth_nonce="efvvn5fr5VWw",oauth_signature_method="HMAC-SHA1",oauth_timestamp="1341486006",oauth_token="523050582-QizPw7WfKJVrUQ3N0SL3FDYnuO0Kv1i4W0ghjrK1",oauth_version="1.0",oauth_signature="R94taCP2bEHV1z4QV5Bm8IZx2cQ%3D"',

  host: 'api.twitter.com',

  accept: '*/*',

  connection: 'keep-alive',

  'user-agent': 'NodeJS',

  'content-length': 0,

  'content-type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded' }

I am able to get my Oauth call without any problem using java and I am getting this issue only with node.js. So my oauth_token seems to be valid and I believe there is something wrong with my header and signed request.

Can anyone please help me in finding what I am doing wrong here? I am using node-v0.8.0 and using request module. I tried node-oauth and other custom written ones but in vain.

Thanks in advance.

Have you tried ntwitter? It's pretty good for interacting with twitter.

Solved the problem.

@Roly Fentanes & @pushpinder rattan Thanks a lot guys for your reply.

I tried node-oauth, request, ntwitter etc and nothing worked..

Everything was right and the problem is with the twitter app I have created. Something have messed up.

I recreated my twitter app and got the new oauth token and it started working...

I found this article useful for debugging oauth, https://dev.twitter.com/discussions/204

Thanks a lot...

I think maybe you should stop consuming friends and take a good hard look at what horrific things you've been doing. Cannibalism is frowned upon, much more so when it's your own tribe.
