title: How many percent of the tweets does twitter sample API give?
body: <p>Does anyone know what's the ratio between the number of tweets we get from <a href="https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1.1/get/statuses/sample" rel="nofollow">twitter sample API</a> over the total number of tweets which the Twitter server receives? I am doing some analysis based on the data read from the sample API, and would like to estimate the actual workload handled by Twitter server. I observed that the number of tweets we get from the API varies over time. So, I presume it is something like percentage sample. Any clue is highly appreciated.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
