Twitter::API::Trait::RateLimiting - Automatically sleep as needed to handle rate limiting
version 1.0004
use Twitter::API; my $client = Twitter::API->new_with_options( traits => [ qw/ApiMethods RateLimiting/ ], %other_options, ); # Use $client as normal
Twitter's API implements rate limiting in a 15-minute window, and will serve up an HTTP 429 error if the rate limit is exceeded for a window. Applying this trait will give Twitter::API the ability to automatically sleep as much as is needed and then retry a request instead of simply throwing an exception.
A coderef, called to implement sleeping. It takes a single parameter - the number of seconds to sleep. The default implementation is:
sub { sleep shift }
