Commented Unassigned: How to use application authentication [2573]

Hi

I have set up my application with twitter and i used TweetInvi to connect to twitter. Everything works just fine, but the rate limit for Search is 180 while i expect it to be 450.

Below is how i authenticate
TwitterCredentials.SetCredentials(userAccessToken, userAccessSecret, consumerKey, consumerSecret);

var rateLimits = RateLimit.GetCurrentCredentialsRateLimits();

rateLimits.SearchTweetsLimit.Limit is giving 180.

I am using tweetinvi version 0.9.4.1.

Is this how i should use the authentication mechanism to activate application authentication? Can you please help me figure out why the user level rate limit is applied even though i am using an application level key.

BTW Fantastic API. Thanks so much for making it available for every one to use.

Thanks
S.

Just for the purpose of showing how to perform an Application only WebRequest at the current time.

``` C#
var mySearchQuery = "salut";
var credentials = CredentialsCreator.GenerateApplicationCredentials("xWMytIGSmXPuPe9OxwlQz1Wac", "n1l88uNwskBSu8hkuAumxieDRYKPKf7j4C13nbvAt0Z8ubu5iG");
var query = string.Format("https://api.twitter.com/1.1/search/tweets.json?q={0}", mySearchQuery);
var json = twitterRequestHandler.ExecuteQueryWithTemporaryCredentials(query, HttpMethod.GET, credentials, Enumerable.Empty<IOAuthQueryParameter>());
var searchResult = jsonConverter.DeserializeObject<ISearchResultsDTO>(json);
var tweets = Tweet.GenerateTweetsFromDTO(searchResult.TweetDTOs);
```

Obviously this is ugly but if you need it right now, this is the best I can give you.
