Continuous 429 Error

What endpoint are you using?
Recent Searches

What API version are you on?
V2

Are you using a library or SDK? Which one?
I am using Postman with Authorization as Bearer token per my X developer account and project

What is the issue?
I am a first time user of the twitter API and trying to use the recent searches endpoint. I have not yet sucessfully returned a single result, yet my response body keeps telling me I have too many requests…

I have a free tier account with a 100 post limit, but again, I haven’t been able to return a single post so I have no idea why it keeps telling me i’ve hit the rate limit.

Steps to reproduce the issue
Step 1: Input above URL into Postman GET request
Step 2: Set Authorization as Bearer and input Token
Step 3: Send request and observe ‘Too Many Requests’

What is the error message?
{
“title”: “Too Many Requests”,
“detail”: “Too Many Requests”,
“type”: “about:blank”,
“status”: 429
}

When did it start?
Yesterday

What have you tried to troubleshoot?
Multiple different URL’s, tried using Lambda/ Python functions instead, tried waiting for the rate reset but doesn’t work either

Why does my rate limit say 1? Shouldn’t it be 100 per the free tier account?

I have a free tier account with a 100 post limit

It’s for posting posts (tweets), not for fetching them.

/2/tweets/search/recent requires the Basic access tier ($100/month, about to change to $200/month).

The rate limits for the GET /2/tweets/search/recent endpoint for the Free plan are:

1 requests / 15 mins PER USER
1 requests / 15 mins PER APP

As shown in the following headers, you have exceeded your rate limit:

x-rate-limit-limit: 1
x-rate-limit-remaining: 0

Your rate limit will be reset after the timestamp specified by the x-rate-limit-reset header.
