While interfacing live twitter feeds with websites, a main issue has come up where Twitter only allows for a client to pull the RSS feed of a certain users status' 150 times per hour. On most sites, this is ok, but in the long run, this will start causing problems where data cannot be viewed properly or errors are being thrown.
To overcome this, I have finished writing a script that will regularly (every 10 minutes) download a selection of twitter status feeds and save them to the local system. If any errors come up, then the downloaded data is discarded, otherwise the old feeds are updated. This allows for constant access of twitter feeds with no downtime, and faster load times. | | Tags: PHP, RSS, Twitter |
