  • How many API calls you can handle simultaneously and why?
  • For example, run different API calls at the same time?
  • Split the processing of an API into multiple threads?
• Recommendation for working on the homework:
  • Step 1:
    • Develop a queue system that can exercise your requirements with stub functions.
  • Step 2:
    • Develop the twitter functionality with an API
  • Step 3:
    • Integrate them
• Include tracking interface to show how many processes are going on and success of each
