Can I check what services are accessing my API?
I am having a problem that many people seem to be having with their API limit being exceeded. I just tried to open up Twhirl for the first time in 3 days and it says "limit exceeded, paused 5 minutes." I know I have facebook and FriendFeed accessing it, but just two services I would hope wouldn't be overloading my API. I am not sure if I signed up on any other services. I would really prefer not to change my password if at all possible.
I just think it would be nice to see what services are pinging my API and even disable them from inside twitter if need be.

Inappropriate?Does anyone know if anything like this is possible? I want to go through and disable as many of the twitter API accessing services as possible.

Inappropriate?Hey Adam (long time no talk!),
As far as I know there aren't any services that allow you to check your API usage. However, you could always change your Twitter password then update the Twitter services you actually use with the new password.
However, because the API limit is currently at only 20 requests per hour, you'll run out of requests pretty quick.

Inappropriate?Yeah I disabled SocialThing and Jaiku so far. I think all I want to have access it is Twhirl or whatever desktop app I am using, and FriendFeed for now. I really hope Twitter will fix their service/API soon. They can only survive for so long with shoddy service.
They are talking about making it almost as common as e-mail is, but the only way that can happen is if it is very reliable and that seems a long ways off.

Inappropriate?Twitter really needs to get an OAUTH API so that you could see and disable certain applications from using up your api requests, like Flickr does (but flickr doesn't have a request limit, at least not a low one).
