Issue #527: /1.1/statuses/show/:id and /1.1/statuses/show/?id=:id are not rate limited from the same pool

Hello,

The 1.1/statuses/show.json requests should give me 180 requests every hour, however I kept on running out of requests. Then I inspected the headers and I saw that the X-Rate-Limit-Limit returns that I can only do 15 requests.
Or the documentation is wrong, or this is a bug in the system (I really hope it's the latter)

Regards,
Matthieu

  • Thanks for the report; modifying the bug's title to accurately reflect the scenario and submitting to the engineering team for review. In the meantime, you can use the interpolated path to acquire the proper rate limit: /1.1/statuses/show/:id.json
