Additional Twitter monitoring tickets #74
Description
Ticket 5.2: Build a Dashboard or Reporting Tool for Tracking API Usage
Description:
Develop a user interface or reporting tool to display the current API usage metrics, including the number of tweets posted and remaining quota. The dashboard should provide visibility into API usage to help manage and optimize posting schedules.
Requirements:
- Create a front-end dashboard that displays API usage statistics such as the number of tweets posted, the rate limit for both per-user and per-app, and the available quota.
- Ensure that the dashboard updates data dynamically to reflect current usage.
- Include graphs or visual indicators to show trends and potential usage spikes.
Acceptance Criteria:
- The dashboard accurately displays current Twitter API usage data, including historical trends.
- Users can easily interpret the status of API usage and determine how much of the quota is left.
- The tool is integrated into the existing platform and accessible by administrators or relevant users.
Ticket 5.3: Create a Notification System for Rate Limit Alerts
Description:
Develop a notification system that triggers alerts when Twitter API usage is approaching or has exceeded rate limits. This system will help prevent unexpected service interruptions by warning users in advance.
Requirements:
- Implement logic to send notifications (e.g., email, SMS, or in-app alerts) when usage reaches 80% and 100% of the rate limit thresholds.
- Integrate notifications with existing alerting services or create new alert mechanisms as needed.
- Ensure that the notification system supports both per-user and per-app alerts.
Acceptance Criteria:
- Notifications are sent automatically when the API usage reaches defined thresholds (80% and 100%).
- Alerts are clear, informative, and specify the type of limit being approached or exceeded (per-user or per-app).
- The system can differentiate between alerts for the basic and pro plan limits.
Estimated Time: 12-16 hours
Priority: High
Notes:
- The dashboard and notification system should be modular and scalable for future enhancements, such as adding support for other social media APIs or rate-limited services.
- Document how the notification thresholds can be adjusted in the system settings.
- Ensure testing includes scenarios for both nearing and exceeding rate limits to verify alert triggers work correctly.
These tickets collectively ensure robust rate limit management, proactive monitoring, and alerting for seamless Twitter integration and usage.
