Collecting data from social media APIs

Hey. Has anyone used proxies for collecting data from social media apis? How do you guys manage api rate limits and quotas??

I’ve been using mobile proxies for social media data collection, so far its been great. I usually keep track of API quotas by logging every request and response, and I use a queue system to ensure that requests are spaced out properly to avoid hitting rate limits. This helps me stay within the API limits while still getting all the data I need.

I use a mix of rotating proxies and a rate limiter in my app. The rate limiter helps that I don’t exceed the allowed number of requests per time period, and the rotating proxies help spread the requests across different IPs to prevent getting blocked. Id recommend you give that a try
