Hey guys,

does this scrpit also work to pull ordniary rss?

greetz.. and could you decide which license to use?
I’m planning on integrating your source into a project of mine…

Thanks Marc for pointing this out.

At the moment the limit is 150 calls per 60 minutes (according to their FAQ) – even though I could not confirm that number in first tests.

If I was forced to work around this, I’d first cronjob downloading the RSS feed every minute to another location and use that URL in the script.
Maybe in a later version the script might be able to perform this itself.

Just so everyone knows, apparently Twitter limits the requests made to 60 within an hour so if you have more hits than that in an hour Twitter will block this script. There is a workaround which we used: to just contact Twitter once in 5 minutes and to save the results on our own server…

Cheers

Everyone discard my earlier comment, this script works absolutely fine, my earlier problem had to do with encoding on my part, nothing to do with Haraldkraft’s work which is awesome !

Thanks!!

Hmmmm, I’ve got a problem with displaying German Umlaute – otherwise it works fine for me so far, thanks for your work!
