[twitter-dev] Question on example code
Hi all. I've been working on a twitter app using the new OAuth
protocol and the example code provided by twitter (This is the code:
http://github.com/abraham/twitteroauth). I'm sure some of you have
seen/used it before. I had a question and was hoping someone could
help me out.
What I'm noticing is that when a twitter object is created, i.e.
$to = new TwitterOAuth($consumer_key, $consumer_secret, $_SESSION
['oauth_access_token'], $_SESSION['oauth_access_token_secret']);
The method OAuthRequest is called to actually perform the request from
the Twitter api. However when I look in the TwitterOAuth class there
is no method named OAuthRequest. There is a method named oAuthRequest
(notice the change in case and I thought PHP was case sensitive) and
I'm trying to figure out what function is actually being called. It
seems like oAuthRequest is being called because the params match up
but idk.
What I'm trying to do with this is actually make an unauthenticated
request for api calls that dont need to be authenticated i.e.
http://twitter.com/users/show.xml?screen_name=dougw
So I changed the constructor to this.
if ($_SESSION['oauth_access_token'] === NULL $_SESSION
['oauth_access_token_secret'] === NULL) {
/* Create TwitterOAuth object with app key/secret and token key/
secret from default phase */
$to = new TwitterOAuth($consumer_key, $consumer_secret, $_SESSION
['oauth_request_token'], $_SESSION['oauth_request_token_secret']);
/* Request access tokens from twitter */
$tok = $to-getAccessToken();
/* Save the access tokens. Normally these would be saved in a
database for future use. */
$_SESSION['oauth_access_token'] = $tok['oauth_token'];
$_SESSION['oauth_access_token_secret'] = $tok
['oauth_token_secret'];
}
And want to do this:
$to = new TwitterOAuth();
$result = $to-OAuthRequest($url);
print_r($result);
But it's not working and I cant figure out what function is being
called.
Hope I didn't ramble to long.. Any help would be much appreciated.
[twitter-dev] Re: Question on example code
If you are trying to make unauthenticated calls don't bother running them
through OAuth. Just call them directly using curl.

The problem though is that OAuthRequest() makes a signed OAuth request that
I'm sure Twitter does not know how to handle.
You can probably however use http() instead as that is just a curl wrapper.

[twitter-dev] search.json pagination returning duplicates

LOL You really need to do some research before trolling like this. Twitter have a business plan, we're just not worthy enough to know all the details. What we know so far is that they're planning to launch a premium account type with a bunch of tools to aid brand and engagement tracking. If Twitter can maintain their popularity big business will pay a small fortune to be able to measure the effectiveness of the way they're using their accounts. In fact depending on how it's priced it's possible they won't need many companies to pay for a premium account before they start making an operating profit. They, as well as most of the rest of the world, know that if they started charging for all accounts they would quickly die and be replaced by someone else trying to do it for free. You're correct to say that free as a business model cannot work, but there are thousands of examples out there of companies running a free service that's supported by paid options. Google is the prime example here, but it works for small companies too - 37signals is a huge proponent of offering a free option alongside paid accounts and it's worked very well for them. Having said all that I would be very wary about building a company solely based upon Twitter. While I don't think they're going anywhere there's nothing stopping them implementing anything that you or I could build and they'd quickly eat away at any market share we'd built up. We've already seen a few examples of this over at Facebook. I'm not saying I'd expect them to do something like that, but it's possible and worth bearing in mind. A more likely scenario is that they'd buy a company providing a particular service and integrate it fully into the main product. If you're a competitor of that company then you'd experience the same effects as if Twitter had built it themselves. Diversity is the key to survival when the environment you're operating in changes as fast as the internet. Anyway, those are my thoughts, do with them what you will. -Stuart -- http://stut.net/projects/twitter/

[twitter-dev] force load of standard twitter site? (rather than mobile)
Ok, I've done my homework, really. I get that you can't let m.twitter.com do pre-populated status updates. Clickjacking, you say. Mobile browsers won't process your special javascript-busting, you say. I've read all of these threads that say so. http://groups.google.com/group/twitter-development-talk/browse_thread/thread/6a5f2194b03778b5/4917d80e49787def?lnk=gstq=mobile#4917d80e49787def http://groups.google.com/group/twitter-development-talk/browse_thread/thread/7865e894d94161e7/ae9f1cb1fbf272f9?lnk=gstq=mobile#ae9f1cb1fbf272f9 http://groups.google.com/group/twitter-development-talk/browse_thread/thread/c1bd0818e0e8f7b0/e11ea235e961c75e?lnk=gstq=mobile#e11ea235e961c75e http://groups.google.com/group/twitter-development-talk/browse_thread/thread/ea702e91df11dfd/fe71e005e7427039?lnk=gstq=mobile#fe71e005e7427039 What about just letting us specify that we want to load the standard page? Is that possible? Or could you make it so? It's possible to send an iPhone user to twitter, which loads the mobile site, and then if that user clicks for the standard view, the pre-populated status is present. Is that really any different, security-wise, than visiting the standard page (with pre-populated text) in the first place? Thanks, Brian Williammee
[twitter-dev] API Developers Alliance
There is a lot of ambiguity up in the air, about api devs (third party) and the future of the api and twitter. Apps are a huge growth vehicle and a very significant piece of the future, getting the Twitter medium a global behavior. I believe there should be a formal alliance of third party developers to ensure that Apps have rights. The ambiguity around down the road, if and when scenarios, leave many investors weary, teams unformed, and products unbuilt because at the end of the day, people have to consider a massive acquisition or change where suddenly apps are crushed by the parent. Twitter is not facebook and potential for sustainable/profitable products and services around this medium are real. If you don't agree, that's fine. I am seeking those who believe this and want to address this. This is not meant to be a big, serious thing. This is meant to be an action item to those who want a developer bill of rights to happen, with input/voice from an organized approach, and want to create some level of insurance, to go out to investors/partners with an approach. If anyone would like to discuss this, please let me know off the list. I am not trying to irritate people, just gauge people's interest. Regards Peter

[twitter-dev] Re: API Developers Alliance
Not sure that there needs to be formal alliance, but a working group that has the ear of twitter and can make sure needs are being met from both the developers and Twitters perspective would be good. On that same note though, I feel that twitter has done a pretty good job with this balance so far, and I do not feel that they'd do anything to hinder developers. As much as twitter is about being a communications tool, it is also a platform. I think they realizes this, and hindering the developers kills the platform.

Biz has talked about the premium accounts. Contextual advertising has been brought up several times. Search-driven monetization has also been brought up. Who's we?

[twitter-dev] All updates for a user
Is there a way, via the API, to download every update you've sent?
[twitter-dev] Re: All updates for a user
You can page through a user_timeline [1], up to the last 3200 tweets [2]. 1. http://apiwiki.twitter.com/Twitter-REST-API-Method%3A-statuses-user_timeline 2. http://apiwiki.twitter.com/Things-Every-Developer-Should-Know#6Therearepaginationlimits Thanks, Doug On Thu, Jul 16, 2009 at 4:50 PM, JohnieStafford johnie.staff...@gmail.comwrote: Is there a way, via the API, to download every update you've sent?
[twitter-dev] Re: API Limits
It is odd that my app is held to a rate limit that is hidden from me. When I call the rate limit API, I get the rate for my IP address, which is meaningless when it comes to status updates. My only option is to keep sending status updates until I get a 403 error message back. I hope that won't earn me a blacklisting :-) Cheers, /Martin On Jul 15, 8:36 am, Bill Kocik bko...@gmail.com wrote: On Jul 15, 11:22 am, iUpdateStatus iupdatesta...@gmail.com wrote: As a general question related to this topic: For all the developers who are working on a solution that involves authenticated users, would it be more convenient to get removed from the whitelist (or never apply for it) and use the authenticated user's 150 requests/hour limit? For me, yes. When the user rate limit was 100, as few as 200 simultaneous users have, collectively, the same rate limit as a whitelisted IP. Now that the limit is 150, it only takes 133.3 simultaneous users. If you anticipate having about 130 or more simultaneous users, whitelisting can work against you, but it's not completely black and white. If I have 50 really active users and 100 that aren't so active, whitelisting might be in my favor, because it means I can spend more requests on each of those 50 users than their 150/hr limit would otherwise allow. It really depends on how many simultaneous authenticated users you expect to have, what kind of users they are, and what kind of API requests your application is making on their behalf. For my application, whitelisting doesn't make sense. For yours it might.
[twitter-dev] Direct Message Limit for a Game we are creating what playspymaster does
Hey Guys: We are creating a game on Twitter. Can people tell me about the # of direct messages that you are allowed to send, is it 500? How does @playspymaster do it though since they say http://playspymaster.com/notifications they direct message people a lot. How can we create a good game, yet stay compliant with Twitter and keep them happy...thoughts? thanks

[twitter-dev] Re: number of search results for query
Hit the Search API several times per hour and extrapolate results given the average time between the 100 statuses returned. Or, use the track resource in the Streaming API to do the same. There are technical advantages and disadvantages to each approach, but the result will be roughly the same. An approximation is all you'll get from any approach, as there is no totally unfiltered source of statuses -- for example, protected users' statuses are unavailable, how do you account for deleted statuses, etc. etc., so you are always estimating. -John Kalucki twitter.com/jkalucki Services, Twitter Inc.

[twitter-dev] Re: API Developers Alliance
Yes, I think my email was wrongly presented and as a result, misinterpreted. I was hoping to spearhead an attempt to compose the developers Bill of Rights that has been floating around. This was intended as a way to help twitter platform team and present a draft from the developers ideas/concerns, and possibly further identify hurdles to business models, etc. I will continue to communicate with those interested off the list and anyone who is interested in contributing can email me. I also want to keep brainstorming with people on how to unify the development community. nuff said.
