[twitter-dev] Re: Delete a Direct Message
Look for:$handle = curl_init();
$ch is often used instead of $handle.
Make sure you add the curl_setopt() after the curl_init() and before the
curl_exec().

[twitter-dev] Re: Whitelist DM limit Question
POSTs count against the authenticating user's limit and are separate from your application's limit (whitelisted or not).

[twitter-dev] An issue with the API Method: favorites and the return value Following
After some tests, it seems the return value for Following after a call to get favorites of a user is pretty bugged. For example in the same set of results where 2 distincts favorited statuses are from the same user, the following field can be different ! (one time false, one time true). The only way to be sure the authentified user who does the favorites query is following or not the writer of the favorited tweet would be to use another api call and compare id with those returned by the friends/id method ? That would be boring :(

[twitter-dev] Re: api user rate limit from different ip addresses
If the API requests come from your server when users view your page, then, yes, your users will be collectively limited to 150 unauthenticated GET requests per hour, unless your site is white-listed. If your site was white-listed, it would get 20,000 unauthenticated GET requests per hour. You also authenticate the requests using multiple accounts and get 150 (or 20,000, if white-listed) API GET requests per hour for each account used for authentication. If the API requests come from your users' computers, then each will get 150 API GET requests per hour. Hope this helps.

[twitter-dev] Re: if you will be using the Geolocation API ...
My understanding is that all tweets will contain geo-location information: if the information was supplied when the tweet was created, that will be used; if no information was supplied, then the default location from the user's profile will be used. I, too, have several comments and questions. 1. What if the location in a user's profile can't be geo-coded and no geo-location is provided when creating a tweet? I would hope that no geo-location is then provided in the tweet. 2. If it is possible to not have a geo-location attached to a tweet, e.g., because of the circumstances above, then I suggest that there be a parameter on the status/create method that suppresses copying the default geo-location to the tweet. In fact it should probably be the other way around, i.e., *DO* include the default location, for security reasons such as those mentioned by Lepton. I understand this will probably (significantly) reduce the number of tweets that are geo-coded, but I think this is appropriate given the sensitivity of the geo-location: I think users should have to opt-in on a tweet by tweet basis to have their tweets geo-located. 3. Will twitter be going back and geo-coding the locations given in existing twitter accounts? If so, will it be all at once as a batch, or the first time an old account is used to create a tweet with a geo-location, or something else? 4. Presumably an update of an account's location will cause that new location to be geo-coded. Will there be a delay in this, as we see with other updates to information in twitter, or will it be instantaneous, i.e., will the next tweet created for an account whose location is updated be guaranteed to contain the new location's geo-code? 5. I like the idea of levels of disclosure of geo-location information, but I dont think this can be practically implemented.

My iPhone app ( http://myallo.com/hotlist currently waiting for Apple approval to go into the App Store) periodically wants to tell Twitter the user's location. If the user is in motion, and the app is open, as often as every 5 minutes. But it doesn't want to tweet it (I'm here, Now I'm here, Now I'm here). That would be... bad. So I'll still want to put it in the user profile. There are two other things. A question and a suggestion: Will every tweet include a location? My app is, most of the time, only interested in seeing a friend's location and most recent last tweet. It would be great if I could do this in one call (and greater if I could ask about several friends at once). If a user is only putting a location in the profile, will this location be sent along with each tweet? Locations have no security. It's the first, second, and third thing every single person wants to know about my app: Who can see me, who can I see, what about stalkers? PEople are very security oriented when it comes to location, rightly so. Currently with Twitter I work around this by having the app optionally post approximate coordinates. But a level of security would be great, and I think necessary to make geolocation successful and popular. For example take a look at brightkite.com. They have three levels of people: The public, friends, and trusted friends. For each of those, you can set See my exact location, see only the city I'm in, or see nothing. That's really useful. For Twitter, it might be relatively easy to add a flag saying Only people I follow can see my location, and/or only followers can see my location. And/or you could have a list of users who could see my location. On Aug 31, 11:44 am, Raffi Krikorian ra...@twitter.com wrote: part of our hopes when we designed the geolocation API is that people can start putting their profile location (user.location) back to something useful (e.g. mine could say san francisco, ca) because the specific location can be added as metadata to each tweet. what we're hoping for is that the user.location becomes something that describes the user, and not the tweet. the geolocation API is for describing the tweet. do you have any suggestions as to what sorts of gotcha's we should look out for?

The Twitter Streaming API presents statuses with Best Effort ordering with the possibility of duplicates. It does not, and cannot practically, order statuses. The since_id notion (a greater than predicate) cannot reasonably be applied to an unordered column. Thus the count parameter's weaker semantics. Your code must deduplicate statuses to provide At Most Once semantics. Given all the above, over requesting with the count parameter to paper over data loss upon reconnection presents little hardship other than some minor latency upon restart. You could argue that the service already provides a k-sorted stream and therefore could provide some sort of k-aware predicate filtering based on a recent estimation of k. That wouldn't quite be since_id though. In any case, you are left with some uncertainty and some over- delivery and client-side deduplication. -John Kalucki http://twitter.com/jkalucki Services, Twitter Inc.

I was wondering if there was another way to retrieve older status messages other then using the count parameter? It seems using the count parameter may be inaccurate since estimating an average number of statuses per second can be flawed due to spikes or other abnormal circumstances. Is it possible to pass a status_id of the last status and get all new statuses from that point on? Or perhaps pass a time stamp? If you could help it would be greatly appreciated, it is important that I maintain a complete stream of status messages.
[twitter-dev] Re: if you will be using the Geolocation API ...
hey jim. 1. the user.location is a completely separate entity (for now) implies that maybe sometime in the future it may be used, e.g., to provide a default geo-coded location for a tweet. I would suggest that if the user's profile location if ever geo-coded, that geo-code should be added to the user objects returned by API calls, at least the users/show method. Users will want to know what may be, e.g., added to their tweets without having to generate a test tweet to find out. 2. Having the user's profile location geo-coded and returned in API calls would be very useful now. Yeh, twitter client web-sites / applications can do it for themselves (Mine certainly will if twitter doesn't do it.), but may come up with different / inconsistent results. And, trust me, it ain't as easy to get good results as it might first appear. To maximize use and consistency, it would be great if twitter did the geo-coding and supplied it to everyone. these are both great ideas. right now, the geolocation API is really focused on tweet-level information -- but we're actively thinking about what's next. 3. Will twitter client web-sites / applications be able to turn the geo-location feature on for their users, or do the users have to go to twitter.com with a browser to do this? My concern here is that twitter.com only supports two languages (English and Japanese) for its UI, where my site (http://twxlate.com) supports these and over 40 more. Unless the user is fluent in English or Japanese, they won't be able to turn it on. I've already run into similar problems as I'm rolling out test versions of OAuth support. unfortunately not. as we're pretty sensitive to our user's privacy, for now, a user will have to go to twitter.com with a browser to turn on the setting (remember, by default it is off). if you have any suggestions on how to make this user interaction better in the future, i would be eager to hear them! As I've written some pretty spiffy geo-coding applications for other purposes, I plan on doing some pretty spiffy geo-coding stuff with twxlate.com. But it needs to be usable, or users won't use it and / or may be annoyed by it. I would hate for that to happen to what promises to be a really neat feature. cool! well - i hope what we're doing is usable! if not, just keep blasting me about it. threads like these on the mailing list are awesome. -- Raffi Krikorian Twitter Platform Team ra...@twitter.com | @raffi
[twitter-dev] Re: Anyone updated jmathai OAuth library for 301s?
On Sep 1, 6:41 pm, jmathai jmat...@gmail.com wrote: That's a valid point. What do you think of following on GETs and throwing an exception for POSTs? Not sure many people like to deal with exceptions (I prefer them). It would be helpful if someone from Twitter or who has done some extensive testing of the 302 behavior could chime in. IF re-trying the request after NOT following a 302 on a POST doesn't bypass the DDoS countermeasure than throwing an exception is completely useless. IF re-trying the request after encountering a 302 DOES work, than throwing an exception would be sufficient to solve the problem. Personally I'd rather just see the library follow the 301/302 on POST and GET, but I can see where throwing an exception would be the more compliant approach. Can someone chime in on this please?

I've just coded this function which may help :
function redirect_post($url,$data) {
$ch = curl_init($url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 2);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data);
list($header,$content) = preg_split(#(\r)?\n(\r)?\n#s,curl_exec
($ch),2);
$http_code = curl_getinfo($ch, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE);
curl_close($ch);
if (in_array($http_code,array(301,302))) {
$redir = preg_match(#Location:(.*?)\n#si,$header,$m) ? trim($m
[1]) : '';
if ($redir ($redir != $url)) return
redirect_post($redir,$data);
}
return $content;
}
I've tested, it's ok ; and shouldn't be so hard to use in the lib.
I'll have to use the Jaisen Mathai OAuth library very soon too, so if
no solution has been found I'll post mine here :)

[twitter-dev] Can't enter full name, character limit
Hello, Under Twitter / Settings I've tried to enter my full name, Martin Klein Schaarsberg, but I can only enter Martin Klein Schaars. Is there a possibility to enter my full name or can the problem be fixed? The character limit is quite low in my opinion. There are quite a lot of people with longer names. Best regards, Martin Klein Schaarsberg
[twitter-dev] Re: Anyone updated jmathai OAuth library for 301s?
One the issues is that the twitter-sync library utilizes multicurl
which allows for parallel requests. Introducing this type of logic is
tricky since the library allows you to access the results later and
only at that point can we inspect the headers. Most people probably
use it in a manner where they immediately block for the results, but I
don't think sacrificing the ability to do parallel requests is worth
following 302s.
Anyways, I'd like to know from Twitter what their plans are for the
302 redirects. Is it temporary? It's far from an ideal solution and
seems more like a stop gap. However, I don't think they'll chime in
on this thread due to the title. Perhaps a new general thread would
be appropriate.
