[twitter-dev] Twitter user picture sizes

2009-02-24 Thread Dave Briccetti

Hi. I’ve searched around for 1/2 hour or so, and haven’t found an
authoritative explanation of the sizes of pictures, and how to
retrieve them.

It seems that profile_image_url leads to a tiny picture:
  
http://s3.amazonaws.com/twitter_production/profile_images/66123958/IMG_0534_twitter500_normal.jpg

But there is also a slighter bigger version:
  
http://s3.amazonaws.com/twitter_production/profile_images/66123958/IMG_0534_twitter500_bigger.jpg

And then a proper full-size one:
  
http://s3.amazonaws.com/twitter_production/profile_images/66123958/IMG_0534_twitter500.jpg

Am I correct in this? That the big version URL can be derived from
that in profile_image_url by dropping the _normal from the name? Is
this part of the API spec? Safe to use?

Thanks.

[twitter-dev] API Changes for February 24, 2009

2009-02-24 Thread Matt Sanford


We launched a few different things today, 2009-02-24:

* Fixed: Calls to /friendships/exists.json were returning  
incorrect results. (http://code.google.com/p/twitter-api/issues/detail?id=312 
)
* Feature: The /users/show call now accepts the parameters  
user_id and screen_name to allow disambiguation of numeric screen  
names. (http://code.google.com/p/twitter-api/issues/detail?id=162)


And for those in the OAuth closed beta:

* Security (OAuth): Misconfigured applications could use insecure  
PLAINTEXT signatures. This has now been explicitly disallowed.
* Fixed (OAuth): Changed OAuth tokens to work correctly during  
database replication delays.
* Feature (OAuth): Removed the approval process for new  
applications. New applications will be allowed by default and we will  
review and revoke as needed.


Thanks;

Hi there,

The cache issue is such that if any other user has requested  
luomat (for example) and had notifications turned on you would see  
true. If they had it turned off, you would see false. It is a cache  
cross-population bug where every person looking at luomat sees the  
following and notification values of the person who triggered the  
cache population, not themselves. I'm not totally sure it's the cause  
but it seems the most likely. I just cleared the cache for your two  
example users, did that change things at all?

[twitter-dev] "" info via the API seems broken

2009-02-24 Thread TjL

OK, I just added a device to my @twitreport account and added exactly
ONE person to get notifications from (@Moltz)

Then I did this to dump my 'friends' list (note: my Twitter login
information is in ~/.netrc)

curl --netrc --silent
http://twitter.com/friends/ids/twitreport.xml | egrep "^" | sed
's###g; s###g' > /tmp/follow

that gives me a list of IDs of people that I follow, one per line, in
a temp file /tmp/follow

If I then go through that list and dump the "show" information, and
grab only the "notifications" information:

while read line
do

NOTIFICATION_STATUS=`curl -s --netrc
http://twitter.com/users/show/$line.xml |\
egrep ".*" |\
sed 's#.*##g; s###g'`

echo "$line: $NOTIFICATION_STATUS"

done < /tmp/follow

I am getting mostly all "true" responses (as if I was getting device
notifications for all those people).

If I go to the website (logged in as TwitReport) it shows that I am
NOT getting any of those notifications.

Is the API giving me bad information or am I asking the wrong question?

One last thing (I think)

The /devices page gives the option to get ONLY 'DM's sent as device

1) FYI I called it like so:

curl -s --netrc -d POST
'http://twitter.com/account/update_delivery_device.xml?device=sms'

to enable notifications, and there's nothing in the response that says
"You have no SMS device defined, so we can't really enable updates to
it."


2) I called it again (on an account which does have a device enabled)
and it returned the basic information, but did not change the setting
(which I checked by loading http://twitter.com/devices in my browser).
 I turned it on/off at the commandline, no change on the web.

(I couldn't find a way to check the current device "state"
[off/sms/im] via the API either.)

[twitter-dev] Re: Using max_id to navigate to pages after 15

2009-02-24 Thread Matt Sanford


Hi there,

From the parameter names I assume you mean in the search API.  
That will certainly work but there is a limit on how far back in time  
we allow a max_id to be used. When you reach the limit you'll see a  
warning message (in the atom feed it's a twitter:warning tag) telling  
you so.


Thanks;

if you try to query for every ticker symbol every five minutes  
you're

building something unscalable and you can expect to hit the rate
limit. Not that I'm sure this is what people have in mind but I
thought I'd put this out there ahead of time just in case.

I don't want the $ by itself, I want it to be a searchable

in conjunction with other strings, so I want to search for

"$AAPL" or

"$C" much like # is with hashtags.



FYI, in search engine language this means is that you want

words to be

tokenized with and without the $ (or other) similar characters.
Right now, it sounds like $AAPL is tokenized as "AAPL".  If I

understand

correctly, you'd want the search engine to also add the token

"$AAPL".

Hi Matt,

We are building an App which heavily depends on this new feature. Can
you please let me know a tentative date for its release?

Thank you.

Yes, I have tried this url as XML vs JSON. It shows false in XML output but
it is true in JSON. It is definitely a JSON API problem.

Sounds like a bug. Open an issue at http://code.google.com/p/twitter-api/issues/list

Why do I have to authenticate to the API to fetch the friends/

For example:
$ curl http://twitter.com/friends/ids/19397184.json

This only affects people protecting their updates, others work fine,
