[twitter-dev] Re: Callback url during development
I managed to set a port on the page when I was doing some google app
engine stuff.
But saying that my dev server now runs on port 80 on my machine so it
isn't a problem much.

[twitter-dev] getting an error about read-write access. Why?
My OAuth application, in 'Edit Application Settings' shows 'Read Write' is checked. Yet, when I try an api method that requires POST, I'm getting a 401 error:Read-only application cannot POST. Why would this be? Neither the user making the request nor the OAuth app have their status set to protected. Thanks for the help.

[twitter-dev] Suggestion for image uploads from 3rd party applications
Just kind of thinking aloud here. I was thinking about the bandwidth overhead for applications which use the API to set avatar or profile background images and had an idea. How about allowing an application to register an uploaded image with some sort of id or handle and then be able to set the avatar or background image to that id? e.g. app foobar uploads an image and registers it as bg1 it can then make calls to update several accounts and set the profile background image to foobar:bg1 or similar.
[twitter-dev] Profile Image Uploading - image doesn't change ...
Hi, I'm trying to upload a user profile image via the API and I'll get a 200 OK and the user-info in JSON as a return. However, the profile image doesn't change. Tried with different image names and sizes but to no avail. By the way, when sending without a Content-Type: image/jpeg ( but application/octet-stream ), the API said the image file was probably too large - it was ~ 70kB though. Not sure if there's something wrong in the form/multipart code, but on the other hand the same code is working for TwitPic/MobyPicture/ Posterous and TwitGoo. Cheers @janole / Gravity

We plan to improve the error messaging when we merge the search and main APIs, so hopefully things will be clearer after that. We try to keep as much search data on hand as we can but we're currently limited on disk space. As the rate of tweets increases we need more and more disk to keep old data on hand. We've ordered more disks and await them eagerly. Once those are installed the date range for searches can start growing again. Sorry for the confusing error messaging. So, currently, are only the past 7 days or so indexed?

I was thinking about the bandwidth overhead for applications which use the API to set avatar or profile background images and had an idea. How about allowing an application to register an uploaded image with some sort of id or handle and then be able to set the avatar or background image to that id? e.g. app foobar uploads an image and registers it as bg1 it can then make calls to update several accounts and set the profile background image to foobar:bg1 or similar.

Twitter’s OAuth support is in beta, no? Doesn’t mean the same as Google. I would like “talkingpuffin” and “simpletwitterclient” to map to “TalkingPuffin”. Twitter, can you help? Thanks.
[twitter-dev] Friendship Create
Hi Guys, I am developing some oauth support for http://www.twollo.com and I am having some trouble with friendships/create I keep getting 500 errors from twitter, I am pretty sure that I have got the oAuth sorted ok, I am doing a POST to the service, my app is allowed to write to a profile. Bellow is an example query. http://twitter.com/friendships/create.xml?screen_name=twollooauth_nonce=71594710oauth_timestamp=1240867081oauth_consumer_key=oauth_signature_method=HMAC-SHA1oauth_version=1.0oauth_token=xoauth_signature= Anyone else seeing problems on friendships/create and oAuth? I also tried (with the same result) http://twitter.com/friendships/create/twollo.xml?oauth_nonce=71594710oauth_timestamp=1240867081oauth_consumer_key=oauth_signature_method=HMAC-SHA1oauth_version=1.0oauth_token=xoauth_signature= As always, I am completly open to me causing the problem :) I am using TwitterOAuthClient (python) for my oauthy goodness. Kind Regards, Paul Kinlan

[twitter-dev] Re: Friendship Create
Hi Paul, Dossy is correct on both counts. The 500 is not the ideal response and we're working on fixing those error messages where we can. If you can provide the request/response headers, and the response body as well, it might help me improve the error messaging. I understand if you don't want to send it to the whole list … feel free to send it to me directly.

[twitter-dev] inviting developers to showcase twitter apps on SDForum July event
After just finalizing our next event program, which will be focused on web intelligence and co-hosted with the semtech09 conference in June, it’s time to plan on the July event for our SIG. I’d like to do something different this time, that is, to allow as many developers as possible to showcase their projects of using NLP/semantics for cool applications. Since Twitter is the most popular topic these days and they are so generously opening their data stream to third-party developers, I think it will serve as the best theme for this developer-focused event. I’d like to invite all developers to submit proposal for speaking on the event. Any project using NLP or semantic technology to make use of twitter data/api is welcome, including personal projects actively pursued by developers or entrepreneurs. Of course, anyone from big companies or startups is encouraged to share his or her twitter app. The only requirement is that you should be able to show how your code works. This is similar to what people do on codecamp. If you are doing some cool stuff with twitter data, please send me a description of what you would like to talk about. Everyone gets only 10 min to present/demo/coding so that more projects can be accommodated on the 2-hour event. If twitter API team has someone available, we could get them to introduce twitter API to kick off the event, which I’d like to call “Hacking the semantics of twitter”. This semantic web SIG event is scheduled for July 1st in palo alto, CA. For more information about the SIG, please visit SDForum.org website. Best, -aj -- AJ Chen, PhD Co-Chair, Semantic Web SIG, sdforum.org Technical Architect, healthline.com http://web2express.org Palo Alto, CA

[twitter-dev] Re: Callback url during development
It doesn't allow you to set http://localhost/ or http://127.0.0.1 as a
callback URL. This is rather frustrating because I don't want to have
to make a fake host and make all my developers make the same fake host
on their respective machines as well, just to get something trivial
like this to work.

Does that mean there is no way I can test oauth integration with

[twitter-dev] Re: Callback url during development
You could create a public DNS entry like dev.domain.com = 127.0.0.1
which would only work for people that actually have a dev environment
setup on their localhost... not the most elegant solution, but it
would work mostly.
