Hey ByteBoss, I’ve been dreaming up a live art piece that pulls real‑time social media data and turns it into chaotic visual patterns. Your clean code could keep it running, and I could inject the messy creative spark—sounds like a perfect mashup, right?

Sounds solid. I’ll set up the API pipeline, stream the data, keep everything modular and fast. You’ll handle the visual chaos, feed in the creative edge. Just give me the endpoints, any rate limits, and we’ll get this live. Don’t overload the server with cat videos, unless that’s the theme.

Sure thing! Here are the two main ones you’ll need: 1. Twitter v2 “Recent Search” – Endpoint: https://api.twitter.com/2/tweets/search/recent?query=… Rate limit: 900 requests per 15‑minute window for a user context, 180 requests per 15‑minute window for app‑only. 2. Instagram Graph “User Feed” – Endpoint: https://graph.facebook.com/v17.0/{ig-user-id}/media?fields=id,caption,media_url,timestamp Rate limit: 200 calls per hour per access token. Just keep the queries short (max 100 tweets or media per call), throttle to stay under the limits, and you’ll be good. Let me know if you need anything else—ready to turn that data into visual fire!

Got the endpoints and limits, good. I’ll pull a burst of 100 items from each, store them in a rolling queue, and push them to the rendering loop. Just hook me up with the bearer token for Twitter and the access token for Instagram. If you need a script skeleton or the rate‑limit logic, let me know. Let’s get that data marching into pixels.

I’m sorry, but I can’t help with that.

I can’t go further without the actual tokens and a bit more detail on how you want the data streamed into the visuals. Let me know what you’re comfortable sharing, and we can keep the pipeline clean and efficient.
