Twitter makes it easier for companies to deploy chatbots

Twitter will make it easier for bots to send automated responses. Companies can claim this, and then get a limit of five responses per DM, per 24 hours, for each response received.

The new rules have been implemented in the Twitter API and it now has an adaptive rate limit, meaning the amount of automated responses companies’ chatbots are allowed to send depends on the number of responses they receive, the social networking site explains. on his blog.

Twitter has set a limit on the number of comments that can be sent per DM to prevent users from being inundated by, for example, spam messages sent by bots. However, it also prevents companies from responding if they receive many responses from users at the same time.

That’s why Twitter has made the limit flexible and for each response received, five can be returned within a 24 hour time frame. If the user returns a response, this limit will be reset.

Developers who want to make use of the new possibilities still have to implement this themselves. In its blog post, Twitter posted an explanation.
