The solutions I needed:

1. How can I increase the APIs rate limit?
2. I'm using https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/twitter-api/v1/developer-utilities/rate-limit-status/api-reference/get-application-rate_limit_status API to get the APIs usage status, but it's returning same value in limit and remaining field. How can I get the exact usage details of APIs?
3. How I can get the daily API APP limits? The API seems to be returning 15 minutes limits, but I need to know how much app limit quota is remaining.

Answer 1

The post limits (Tweets, retweets, Direct Messages etc) are per-user quota. You can find out more about them from Twitter's help pages .

The current technical limits for accounts are:

• Direct Messages (daily): The limit is 1,000 messages sent per day.
• Tweets: 2,400 per day. The daily update limit is further broken down into smaller limits for semi-hourly intervals. Retweets are counted as Tweets.

These limits are shared across all of the apps a user might use within a day. There is no API endpoint or header that shows what the current quota is - you have to account for this in your code.
