[twitter-dev] Re: Basic Twitter / OAuth questions (.NET)
Many thanks for that - I've now got it working as intended. (I was, in fact, completely misunderstanding which tokens were which!) Much appreciated. :-) All the best, Rich.

I'm building an application which needs to be able to set a user's status automatically, without that user needing to log in and approve it every time. I'm using a variation on the code at:http://www.voiceoftech.com/swhitley/?p=681 , and it's working - to an extent. A user can visit a page on my apphttp://www.mytwitterapp.com/twitter.aspx, be redirected to Twitter to approve the app, then be sent back to my app, to the page which now has the form:http://www.mytwitterapp.com/twitter.aspx?oauth_token=EQ8Mi7T2Xqi6y5Ka... I can then use that token to get the token secret and interact with Twitter (primarily setting a status update). However, if I try to use that token again, I get a (401) Unauthorized error. I thought that the oauth_token that gets returned fromhttp://twitter.com/oauth/authorizewas a token that I could store, and use to repeatedly access Twitter when needed. It seems that what I'm actually getting back is an Access Token. So, my questions are: 1. Does what I've written above make sense? 2. Is there a token I can store, and use to repeatedly access Twitter - and if so, how can I get that value? 3. Am I barking up the wrong tree entirely? 4. Anything else you think might be of help!! Many thanks in advance, Richard.
[twitter-dev] Public timeline issues today with photo URLs and user elements
Hello, Two things of note on the public timeline as of 12PM EST: a) All profile photo URLs are returning as the default stock profile photo, even if the user normally has one defined b) The user element returned in the public timeline is the classic short representation, not the fully detailed representation that replaced it earlier this year.
[twitter-dev] app registration problems
When trying to register an app with Twitter just now, I got the tremendously helpful something went wrong error page. I went back and tried to re-submit, and got the app name is already registered message. I couldn't figure out how to list my registered apps, so I registered the app under a slightly modified name. It worked that time, and then I saw the link to list my apps. Turns out the first registration actually DID work, so now I have two of them. So, how do I UN-register an app? Thanks - Michael

You can my new site to the list. http://mobatalk.com Mobatalk is a Conversation Studio, think of it as the multimedia add- on for Twitter. There are more features in the works, but you can go check it out already.

[twitter-dev] Saved Searches API call?
@Al3x had a tweet a few days ago saying that pulling a user's saved searches would be available via the API. I've looked around for the API documentation on these calls, but couldn't find anything about it. So, is this currently supported within the API? If so, what is the call? If not, any ETA on implementation? Thanks.
[twitter-dev] Re: OAuth URL to Sign User Out
Yes you could. I personally am against logging users out of sites that you don't control. FBConnect for example I don't like because I log out of some random other site and *bam* I'm logged out of Facebook. WTF. force_login=true seems the best of both worlds. The user gets prompted to log into a different account and they don't get logged out of twitter.comwithout notice.

[twitter-dev] How to get full friends list with minimum requests
Hi, If I correctly understand, the get followers API retrieves only 100 recent friends, to get more, you have to repeatedly send a request with page numbers. This means that if I have 10,000 friends, I would use up my 100 API requests limit, in just retrieving the friends list. Is there a better way to retrieve the full friends list? Best Regards, Irfan

Is there a way to generate a list of API methods in JSON, or CSV with the parameters, or a place where one could download one. I'm interested in this for generating a library. Thanks, Mike
