[twitter-dev] Re: API Curl: Status update result: http_code =0!
An HTTP code in cURL of 0 usually means your request is being denied by Twitter at the network equipment level. In other words, your connection is refused. This sometimes happens when the Twitter network is overloaded.

[twitter-dev] Re: OAuth: Screen name returned with access token - documented feature?
Hello there, The screen_name and user_id had to be removed from the redirect back to your site but I later added it to the response to the access_token call. That is an official feature and can be relied upon. Looking back it seems I never announced the feature here on the list after I put it on the change log [1].

Matt mentioned that the verify_credentials method was the solution in that case. If I have the screen_name available with the Access token/secret, I don't see a need for calling verify_credentials at all in the process.

[twitter-dev] Sign in with Twitter - Flow chart error?
I am using as a reference the Sign in with Twitter documentation at: http://apiwiki.twitter.com/Sign-in-with-Twitter When I issue an authenticate call to: https://twitter.com/oauth/authenticate?oauth_token=request_token The callback I get is: callback_url?oauth_token=request_tokenoauth_verifier=verifier Questions: 1. This callback appears to be identical to the authorize response. Is there an error with the flow chart on the Sign in with Twitter page that indicates an authenticate callback will include the access token and token secret? 2. I understand that the advantage of using the authenticate process is that if a user has already authorized an application, they don't need to do it again. Is there any reason to use the authorize process instead? It seems that apps would benefit from always using the Sign in with Twitter authenticate flow. Thanks, - Scott

Has anyone come up with a good number where a call to the social graph methods returns a 403? I have made calls that return over 30,000 ids, but I am curious what the limit is.
