Rate Limits #7

Description

@thedavecarroll

Each Twitter API endpoint has a specific rate limit for the standard API.

You can find more information on Twitter's standard API rate limiting here.

For instance, here are the rate limits for lists endpoints.

/lists/list             : @{limit=15; remaining=0; reset=1552260236}
/lists/memberships      : @{limit=75; remaining=75; reset=1552260742}
/lists/subscribers/show : @{limit=15; remaining=15; reset=1552260742}
/lists/members          : @{limit=900; remaining=900; reset=1552260742}
/lists/subscriptions    : @{limit=15; remaining=15; reset=1552260742}
/lists/show             : @{limit=75; remaining=75; reset=1552260742}
/lists/ownerships       : @{limit=15; remaining=15; reset=1552260742}
/lists/subscribers      : @{limit=180; remaining=180; reset=1552260742}
/lists/members/show     : @{limit=15; remaining=15; reset=1552260742}
/lists/statuses         : @{limit=900; remaining=900; reset=1552260742}

After reaching the limit, the current Invoke-TwitterAPI calling function generates an error similar to the following:

Invoke-RestMethod : {"errors":[{"message":"Rate limit exceeded","code":88}]}
At C:\Program Files\PowerShell\Modules\PSTwitterAPI\0.0.7\public\Invoke-TwitterAPI.ps1:34 char:5
+     Invoke-RestMethod @RestMethod_Params
+     ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo          : InvalidOperation: (Method: GET, Re...rShell/6.1.2
}:HttpRequestMessage) [Invoke-RestMethod], HttpResponseException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : WebCmdletWebResponseException,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.InvokeRestMethodCommand

How should rate limits be handled?
