Max. Requests Twitter

I wanted to use the Twitter API to get the friends status list from many users. How many requests could I request in one moment?

Little another question: What's faster: XML or JSON with a lot of data with PHP?

The number of requests per hour over REST is irrelevant here as to achieve what you require (tracking the friends of many users I assume) then you need to be using site streams rather than the REST API. This will give you an initial list of friends for a followed user then will stream you updates to that user as any changes happen.

Currently, there is a rate limit of 350 requests per hour when using OAuth. I believe it's 150 when using Basic Auth which will be deprecated in June.
