<h3 id="historical">How do I search for historical Tweets?</h3> | ||
<p>Unfortunately, Twitter only allows its API to reach roughly a week into | ||
the past. </p> | ||
<p>If you need really old data, you’ll have to use | ||
someone like DataSift or Gnip, who re-sell access to the Twitter firehose. | ||
It's quite expensive.</p> | ||
|
||
<p>If you know in advance that you'll need the data, then | ||
set up the dataset and choose “Monitor future Tweets”. | ||
It'll then be available later when you need it. | ||
</p> | ||
|
||
<h3 id="updated">How often is the Twitter data updated?</h3> | ||
<p>Assuming you have the “Monitor future Tweets” checkbox selected, about once an hour.</p> | ||
<p>In this mode, the <strong>“Search for tweets”</strong> | ||
tool will request tweets newer than the last tweet ID it stored in its previous | ||
run (so there is no overlap, and no wasted API calls).</p> | ||
|
||
<h3 id="slowdown">What does “Twitter has asked us to slow down” error – mean?</h3> | ||
<p>Twitter allows us to request 18000 tweets or 75000 followers in total, on a user’s | ||
behalf, in any given 15 minute period. This is called “rate limiting”.</p> | ||
|
||
<p>You don't need to worry too much if you're hitting the limit, the tools will | ||
carry on trying and get more data over time. If it is all going too slowly, there | ||
are several things you can do.</p> | ||
|
||
<ol> | ||
<li>The limit is shared across all | ||
ScraperWiki Twitter tools you might have running at the same time. | ||
Turn off monitoring or delete ones that you're not using. | ||
</li> | ||
<li>The rate limit is <i>also</i> shared with any other apps that are | ||
calling Twitter using your Twitter login details. You can <a | ||
href="https://twitter.com/settings/applications">see all the apps that are | ||
accessing your account</a>, and disable ones you don't use.</li> | ||
<li>Use multiple Twitter accounts. Each time you make a new dataset, | ||
you can authenticate against a different Twitter account. This is useful | ||
if, for example, you are doing work for several clients.</li> | ||
</ol> | ||
<p>Choose the <strong>“Diagnostics”</strong> link to get | ||
detailed technical information about the rate limits and status. | ||
</p> | ||
|
||
<h3 id="timezone">What's the time zone of dates?</h3> | ||
<p>The <code>created_at</code> column is in UTC (more commonly called GMT).</p> | ||
