Comment on I’m Done Developing for Twitter

Comments

Amateur question here. How does Twitter stop your app? Do they block your IP from accessing their API?

In order to interact with their API, you need a security token. They revoke the rights on that token, and the API rejects your requests.

And to put a finer point on it, tokenized APIs are basically whitelists.
