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.

Hi Linvi

Thanks for the super quick response. Good to know that you are planning to implement this feature soon.

Thanks for the example code, Looks like i will do some thing based on your example to achieve what i am trying to do.

One question, Can I create the credentials using CredentialsCreator.GenerateApplicationCredentials as shown here and then call TwitterCredentials.SetCredentials to set the newly created credentials and then use the functions like i used to do before, instead of using ExecuteQueryWithTemporaryCredentials?

Once again thank you very much for the help.
