I'm writing an app which works with the network of followers/followings for a specific user, and frequently I reach rate limit and I have to wait some time to be able to request again which is annoying. Is there any way to bypass this limit ? e.g. paying for an account to twitter, etc.

I am working for a news channel which uploads 50 videos per day. I have integrated youtube api on the website for the same purpose. There seems to be a quota limit of 6 videos per day. Is there any way I can purchase or get more quota limit? What is the process and charges for increasing the quota limit.
The only way of obtaining a quota extension for your application is that of addressing Google directly.
There's this form that you'll have to fill in. Than wait for response -- which, according to the experience of users of this forum, doesn't arrive shortly.
I haven't worked with uploading videos but you should be able to ask for additional quotas for google apis on the IAM & ADMIN console view under Quotas (there should be a link from the developer dashboard under Quotas. Once there just select the quota you would like to change and submit a request.
Having said that, I have no experience with this process, so I don't know what is the involved in approving such a requests nor what kind of costs be involved.
I use the Twitter SDK for iOS (and Android,too). My iOS app pulls some tweets from the Twitter API via network request.
In the documentation (https://dev.twitter.com/rest/public/rate-limiting and https://dev.twitter.com/rest/public/rate-limits) Twitter describes some rate limits for requests and differs them "Per User or Per Application".
My iOS app pulls for example information from the endpoint https://dev.twitter.com/rest/reference/get/search/tweets with "guest authentication" (means: usage "Per Application" - not "Per User") to build a Twitter social wall.
What I don´t understand: What does Twitter mean in this case with rate limit for an Application? Does this means single instance of my iOS app on a device has it´s own rate limit for this request or does all my total instances of all iOS apps share this rate limit together (because the authentication uses the same fabric-app keys on all devices)?
I´m confused ... can somebody explain this to me, please?
Rate limits for application authentication are shared by all apps connecting with the same application credentials. Basically, rate limits are applied per access token, as described here. You can use the rate_limit_status endpoint to find out the remaining number of requests your app can make in the current 15-minute window.
Buffer claims to have millions of users, all scheduling posts. The free plan allows for 10 posts per day.
How does Buffer overcome Twitter API limits?
They're not bypassing the limit, they're doing the queries on your behalf. I don't have an account with them, but most sites where you can login to them using Twitter utilize your credentials to submit the queries allowing them to do many at once.
A good way to test this is going to your profile settings, then click on either Apps or Your Twitter Data you should see their name popup there. For their paid version, they could purchase an increase in limit from Twitter but you'll end up paying for that through their pricing cost.
The question seems duplicated, yet it's not. The question seems silly and it is. If I want to search for a certain word in tweets, I would send a request to the Twitter API. I can send the request:
Using user authentication: which requires logged in user.
Using application authentication: which doesn't require a logged in user and uses an application ID (public and private keys).
Now, Facebook, Twitter and other social networks for that matter provides API Rate Limit per user and per application (globally). Suppose that I want to search for the word "stackoverflow" from two application instances (one on iOS and the other on Android). Is the API limit divided on both of them? or each has its own full limit?
For example, assume that social network "X" provides up to 150 requests/app/15 min window. Do I have that 150 requests for each running instance of the application or I have a total of 150 requests for all instances?
Hope I made it clear enough.
Found the answer here: Question about app-only auth and rate limits for an iOS app in API v1.1
The number of users or "instances of use" of your application are not figured in to rate limits for app-only auth. A method with a limit of 180 requests per 15 minute window is intrinsic to your application, regardless of whether it's on device A, device B, device C, website 1, website 2.
I'm using the twitter api to get data on many twitter accounts, because of the rate limit and since i can't ask the owners of all those twitter accounts to authenticate, i've to create several applications on my developer account
(note that i'm already queuing and combining requests, i've used all best practices).
My question, what's the maximum number of applications allowed per developer account? i didn't manage to get this answer anywhere on the web nor on the twitter documentation
Mentioned in 24 July 2018 twitter announcement, The limit is 10 apps per dev account.
We’re also limiting the default number of apps you may have registered
by a single developer account to 10. Developers who need to register
more than 10 apps — for instance, to enable client-specific products
which require distinct apps — can request permission using the API
Policy support form. If you already have more than 10 apps registered,
you can continue to use them as long as they comply with our rules but
you won’t be able to register new apps until you either request
permission for additional apps or delete unused ones.

Also, note that you can only create 3 new apps in a 24 hour period.
First of all, you should NOT make more than one Application for one application.
You need to handle data logically. Cache the data you are requesting so you can limit the number of requests to twitter's API.
