Hello i have tweet id's and i saved them to database before. But i saw that i could not save created time efficiently (it is saved like 00:00:00). Therefore i wished to update my tweets with tweet id by using following code.
MyConnectionBuilder myConnection = new MyConnectionBuilder();
Twitter twitter = new TwitterFactory(myConnection.configuration.build()).getInstance();
Status status = twitter.showStatus(Long.parseLong(tweetId));
But it takes too much time to get tweets, is there any rate limit for this ? If there is a rate limit how can i make it faster ?
Updating every single tweet via showStatus wastes your "credits" for a given timeframe (rate-limit).
For updating multiple tweets, you should use lookup with a maximum of 100 ids per request. This call will use the /statuses/lookup endpoint.
Rate-Limit and endpoint documentation can be found here
Code-Snipped for it:
Twitter twitter = twitterFactory.getInstance();
ResponseList<Status> responseList = twitter.lookup(ArrayUtils.toPrimitive(ids));
if(responseList != null) {
for (Status status : responseList) {
// do what you need to do here
}
}
