I used `43200` (12 hours) on my test server. | ||
I used a value of `43200` (12 hours) on my test server. Although no script I used during test took that long. | ||

> Twitter only allows for 15 requests every 15minutes, so the script has to sleep for 15 minutes everytime the 15 request has been reached. | ||
##Imported libraries | ||
The project uses the [OAuth Library PHP scripts](http://oauth.net). and are available in the `lib` folder |
