White Listing and Rate Limiting

[mtruth]

Hi,

I'm creating an application in VB.Net, I've been white listed. Yet
when I get my rate in VB.Net it shows that am I am only getting 150
request. When I check my available requests, I am using my username
and password.

Yet, when I run Tweetdeck, I am shown that I get my full white listed
rate limit.

Not sure what I am doing wrong, but I'd like to make sure that while I
am testing my application I don't have to worry about rates.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers,

Michael

What did you whitelist? your account or IP?

I whitelisted my account. My IP would change depending on where I am
doing my work.

Are you sure your checking your rate with an authenticated call? If
you don't, you'd get the rate for your IP

Yes, when I send the request to the server, I set the network credentials with my username and password.  The same way I would any other call that requires authentication.

Instead of using
request.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(username, password);

try the following (sorry it's in C#) as .NET will try an
unauthenticated request first, before trying an authenticated
request :

byte[] encbuff = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(username +
":" + password);
String enc = Convert.ToBase64String(encbuff);
request.Headers.Add("Authorization", "Basic " + enc);

That looks like it might do the trick.  I'll give it a go!

Thanks much!  That did it.  The VB.Net code is as follows:

 

Dim encbuff As Byte() = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(userName + ":" + password)

Dim enc As String = Convert.ToBase64String(encbuff)

client.Headers.Add(

"Authorization", "Basic " + enc)
