Right, the 30 day search API is still 100 request/mo for the sandbox and 500/mo for the bottom paid tier (which I think is $150/mo). Would love to hear more from you about this experience, whether in blog form or commentary. I use the filtered stream API a lot and the search API a bit.
Oh Iām sure. My point was just that the use cases least likely to be able to afford paying are clustered on historical data. And those clustered on real-time data tend to involve $$ anyways
I used to lead the search and historical API team at Twitter.
