I just wanted to bring back attention to this. Has anyone on the list
gotten Twitter's OAuth to work with Perl? Care to share some code
examples?
I'm using Perl's Net::OAuth heavily, but only for updating twitter status
with existing access tokens (as my backend processing is Perl, while the
frontend is RoR, so authorisation/key exchange is handled through rails
OAuth).
I did find one bug which I've reported back to the Net::OAuth CPAN
maintainer, who said he'll implement in a future release:
The issue relates tohttp://
code.google.com/p/twitter-api/issues/detail?id=433#c32(there's lots
of useful into in this thread)
The problem occurs when you pass an extra_param containing certain
Unicode
characters. What happens is that the parameter is passed to the signature
creation, and the signature ends up wrong, leading to 401 errors when
trying
to make a request.
The fix for this is actually detailed in the above thread, a problem with
the regexp doing the escaping. In Perl's case, the below change
to Net::OAuth's Message.pm fixes this:
sub encode {
my $str = shift;
$str = unless defined $str;
# return URI::Escape::uri_escape_utf8($str,'^\w.~-');
# MM, fix based on twitter OAuth bug report
[twitter-dev] Twitter4J 2.0.4 released - added Streaming API support fixed OAuth compatibility issue
Hi all, Twitter4J 2.0.4 is available for download. http://yusuke.homeip.net/twitter4j/en/index.html#download It's also available at the Maven central repository. http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/net/homeip/yusuke/twitter4j/ Previous versions have a compatibility issue with OAuth since May 13th. Projects requiring OAuth support need to migrate to this version. Compatibility notes: - retirement of ExtendedUser class Following methods return User, or ListUser instead of ExtendedUser, or ListExtendedUser: getUserDetail() verifyCredentials() updateProfile() updateProfileColors() getBlockingUsers() getAuthenticatedUser() The method signatures of TwitterListener and TwitterAdapter are changed accordingly. ExtendedUser and UserWithStatus class are retired(deleted) since the API returns extended user information with all methods. Use User class instead. - Streaming API support Now Twitter4J supports the Streaming API which is in alpha test phase. http://apiwiki.twitter.com/Streaming-API-Documentation Please read the above document from top to bottom carefully before you dive into TwitterStream.

[twitter-dev] problem with characters to send messages
My name is Leo Baiano, I am Brazilian and my English is not very good,
a little PHP program and I am starting time trying to work with the
Twitter API. I found a class ready for sending messages but I'm having
problems with some characters.
The class works but when I use any special characters in the message
here in Brazil two characters after the special character disappears.
For example, if I try to send the message: send only acentuação the
class acentuaç
If I try to send:
a escola é longe
is sent: a escola éonge
The class I'm using is:
$msg = Testando acentuação com XML préss aqui;
$out = POST http://twitter.com/statuses/update.json HTTP/1.1\r\n;
$out .= Host: twitter.com\r\n;
#Configure abaixo o seu login e senha do Twitter
$out .= Authorization: Basic .base64_encode ('user:senha').\r\n;
$out .= Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\n;
$out .= Content-length: .strlen(status=$msg).\r\n;
$out .= Connection: Close\r\n\r\n;
$out .= status=$msg;
$fp = fsockopen (twitter.com, 80);
if (fwrite($fp, $out)) {
echo $msg. enviada!;
}
fclose($fp);

[twitter-dev] announcement - tweetmotif - topical summarization system
Hi, I feel a little bad that I always use twitter-dev to whine about bugs in the search API. But it's really great and you can build interesting things on top of it! We just put up an experimental search/text analytics app that clusters tweets based on key phrases and terms relative to a specific search query. It can sometimes be helpful for knowing *why* a term is trending, or for finding different types of sentiments people have toward something. There's also a more research-y direction for discovering related concepts for a query. The first draft, experimental version is up; please play around with it if you're in to this sort of thing. http://tweetmotif.com http://anyall.org/blog/2009/05/announcing-tweetmotif-for-summarizing-twitter-topics-with-a-dash-of-nlp/ -Brendan
[twitter-dev] Invalid signature when calling request_token
Hi, I'm porting my HTTP authentication based twitter client to OAuth, and am having problems constructing a signed call to request_token that twitter.com will accept. The OAuth implementation has successfully worked with two different sample servers and MySpace, so I don't think I'm hitting any underlying bugs in my code. That said, the OAuth specification skims over encoding so it's possible that there is an incompatibility. This is what happens: GET /oauth/request_token?oauth%5Fconsumer%5Fkey=sPHnVfjaW22jHcGYyHCFAoauth%5Fsignature=zRmErZcLje9Nns2VEtsyRwzztQE%3Doauth%5Fsignature%5Fmethod=HMAC%2DSHA1oauth%5Fnonce=1276674971oauth%5Ftimestamp=1242721670oauth%5Fversion=1%2E0 HTTP/1.1 Soup-Debug-Timestamp: 1242721670 Soup-Debug: SoupSessionAsync 1 (0x8f315b8), SoupMessage 1 (0x901d868), SoupSocket 1 (0x902f820) Host: twitter.com HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized Soup-Debug-Timestamp: 1242721670 Soup-Debug: SoupMessage 1 (0x901d868) Date: Tue, 19 May 2009 08:27:51 GMT Server: hi Last-Modified: Tue, 19 May 2009 08:27:51 GMT Status: 401 Unauthorized Pragma: no-cache Cache-Control: no-cache, no-store, must-revalidate, pre-check=0, post-check=0 Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8 Content-Length: 44 Expires: Tue, 31 Mar 1981 05:00:00 GMT X-Revision: 0056844fe50774f758d59f4d2931e6b31ccbf68f X-Transaction: 1242721671-71519-1029 Set-Cookie: _twitter_sess=BAh7BzoHaWQiJTkxZTYyNWM2OWMxZWIwMGE3MDczYTI1MTUzMjIwNDE2Igpm %250AbGFzaElDOidBY3Rpb25Db250cm9sbGVyOjpGbGFzaDo6Rmxhc2hIYXNoewAG %250AOgpAdXNlZHsA--32fb8d8fe9b5a3845060194eb2160f14fe9114c8; domain=.twitter.com; path=/ Vary: Accept-Encoding Connection: close Failed to validate oauth signature and token Anyone got any good ideas?

[twitter-dev] Re: Timezone Data
I can get a list of Twitter's zones easily enough, and I understand that. While I could spend time going through Twitter's timezone select box and manually map the values to Olson zone names (which is what I'm sure I'll end up doing), this could be made easier if Twitter simply returned the standardized names. I'm not familiar with Ruby, so this may very well be how Ruby lists and names the zones. My experience with other languages, however, is that the Olson / tzdata / Unix names are fairly standard and plug right in. I'm not asking where I can find Twitter's zone names, I'm asking why Twitter returns what it does, and if looking into returning something else is warranted. -- Ryan Chouinard On May 18, 8:37 pm, Abraham Williams 4bra...@gmail.com wrote: Just take the timezone list from:https://twitter.com/account/settingsand convert it on your end.

[twitter-dev] Re: Are there ANY advantage of using OAuth with client softwares?
Another advantage is that if a third party application's database is breached, all of the stored usernames and passwords would be exposed. If the third party application was using oauth, the access token and secret pairs are only useable if the consumer key/secret pair are found and these can be easily reset. On May 18, 2:56 pm, Adam Ness adam.n...@gmail.com wrote: The advantage to the end user of oAuth is that the client application doesn't need the user's password anymore, the user's passwords are exchanged ONLY with twitter, and cannot be sniffed/stored/whatever by the client application.

Yusuke, thank you for providing twitter4j api. it's very useful. -aj On Tue, May 19, 2009 at 2:07 AM, Yusuke Yamamoto yus...@mac.com wrote: Hi all, Twitter4J 2.0.4 is available for download. http://yusuke.homeip.net/twitter4j/en/index.html#download It's also available at the Maven central repository. http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/net/homeip/yusuke/twitter4j/ Previous versions have a compatibility issue with OAuth since May 13th. Projects requiring OAuth support need to migrate to this version. Compatibility notes: - retirement of ExtendedUser class Following methods return User, or ListUser instead of ExtendedUser, or ListExtendedUser: getUserDetail() verifyCredentials() updateProfile() updateProfileColors() getBlockingUsers() getAuthenticatedUser() The method signatures of TwitterListener and TwitterAdapter are changed accordingly. ExtendedUser and UserWithStatus class are retired(deleted) since the API returns extended user information with all methods. Use User class instead. - Streaming API support Now Twitter4J supports the Streaming API which is in alpha test phase. http://apiwiki.twitter.com/Streaming-API-Documentation Please read the above document from top to bottom carefully before you dive into TwitterStreamhttp://yusuke.homeip.net/twitter4j/en/javadoc/twitter4j/TwitterStream.html .

[twitter-dev] Our own redirecting URL is being changed to a bit.ly URL
I'm using perl (NET::Twitter) to submit a status update. The update
consists of a text string and a URL of our tracker module. The
purpose of this is to allow us to track any sales that arise as a
result of the clickthrough and associate them with the source.
It appears that the URL is being changed:
The source reads (for instance)
Added Item: 5.25 carats princess diamond pave engagement ring new
http://tias.com/cgi-bin/tw.fcgi/itemKey=3923612043
where http://tias.com/cgi-bin/tw.fcgi/itemKey=3923612043 is the key to
our tracker and the page that is eventually served is
http://www.earthling.com/13527/PictPage/3923612043.html (that latter
was determined from http://www.earthling.com/13527/PictPage/3923612043.html)
which is a very very handy tool, I must say.
However, when I interrogate the text from twitter, it turns out that
our URL has been changed to a bit.ly one:
p $result-{text}
Added Item: 5.25 carats princess diamond pave engagement ring new
http://bit.ly/11qkU1
I've dug down through the LWP::userAgent level and it seriously
appears that this change is happening at Twitter
Firstly, it isn't on our bit.ly account (and I really don't want to
use bit.ly for this) and second why is this happening?
Any advice?
Am I missing something critical in the documentation someplace?
[twitter-dev] Re: Our own redirecting URL is being changed to a bit.ly URL
You are correct, Twitter is doing the bit.ly conversion on their end.
They automatically shorten URLs based on some set of metrics (I think
character length and formatting have something to do with it), and
there's no (current) way to suppress this behavior when posting.
The best you can do is use the bit.ly API to un-shorten the link and
grab your URL key from there.
Have a look at the /expand method in their API:

If you don't want to use bit.ly shorten the urls with the shortener of your
choice first.
When did Twitter switch to using bit.ly anyways?

Have a look at the /expand method in their API: http://code.google.com/p/bitly-api/wiki/ApiDocumentation Or, implement your own URL shortening scheme (either internally, or using a specific service that meets your needs), with the assumption that the shortening will occur and at least this way you can control the situation under how the shortening is handled. -- personal: http://www.cameronkaiser.com/ -- Cameron Kaiser * Floodgap Systems * www.floodgap.com * ckai...@floodgap.com -- MOVIE IDEA: The E-mail Signature Who Loved Me --
