The developer portal indicates that the cap defines how many Tweets they can pull per month. At the same time, a tweet by @XDevelopers talks about 10k API GET requests/month:

We are also launching a new Basic (v2) access for hobbyists with 10,000 GET/month and 50,000 POST/month, 2 app IDs, and Login with Twitter for $100/month.

Does anyone know more about this? Is the 10k cap on total Tweets or on GET requests? If I do e.g. one API call to get the 10 most recent tweets in a list, does that count as 1/10,000 or as 10/10,000?

Thanks!

It’s a typo / error - there’s no limit on GET Requests, the 10k limit is on tweets retrieved by the Project in a month (also it’s not a calendar month, it’s a month from whenever the reset time is)

10 most recent tweets will count as 10 in the cap. Also, retweets and quotes would count as 2, if you request expansions.

Not what I was hoping for, but thanks for the clarification, Igor!

Piggybacking on this question, is there a way to know the remaining tweet limit for a given project? Is it included in the GET response somewhere?

It kinda is in a browser GET but it’s not in the API, so you’ll have to count and keep track yourself or scrape it from the developer portal.

I see, thank you for answering!
