Twitters rate limit is a tool created to control how their application programming interface (API) is used in order to stop abuse and provide equitable access to resources. The rate limit is defined as the maximum number of requests per API endpoint permitted within a window of time, often 15 minutes. If an endpoint has a rate limit of 900 requests per 15 minutes, it means that you are allowed to make up to 900 requests within any 15-minute interval. Exceeding the rate limit results in temporary restrictions, such as being unable to perform certain actions or retrieve data. When the rate limit is reached, the API answers contain rate limit-related headers that show how many requests are still open and when the limit will reset. Developers should use the proper error handling tools to gracefully manage rate limit exceeded errors. It is not possible to bypass Twitters rate limit.
