[twitter-dev] Re: Draft of List API documentation

2009-10-19 Thread Tim Haines
I'll +1 the requests for using the list id instead of the slug (and user id
instead of screen name), and for a bulk add feature - I've already asked for
a bulk remove feature...

 I'm just wondering why can't we use list 'id' to call API functions
 such as update, delete, timelines?

 I found out that list_slug can change when you update list name. This
 will give 3rd party apps lots of headaches. For example, right now my
 app has group features and I'm planning to migrate it to list. But if
 a user changes the list name on twitter.com or another app, then I'll
 have no idea and the list url I stored in database won't be valid
 anymore.

[twitter-dev] XML API returning old DM timelines

2009-10-19 Thread Hwee-Boon Yar

I'm reposting a support email I sent to API support to see if anyone
else is facing the same issue:

1. Some users of SimplyTweet (iPhone app) are receiving old versions
of the DM timeline.
2. On a related note, I seem to be having the same issue with
SimplyTweet's servers (for push notification support) using since_id
too, where I get timelines including id  X (note: older) when I set
since_id = X

This seems to have started these 2 days. I have personally seen issue
1 at least twice on my iPhone (Singapore). As for issue 2, the servers
are hosted with Slicehost.

Is this a known issue?

[twitter-dev] Re: C# + OAuth + account/update_profile_image = 500 Internal Server Error

2009-10-19 Thread Zaudio

Nicholas,
That's great feedback!

In you opinion, how do I then sign the request? Do I use all the usual
for the signaturebase... ie postmethodurlnonceetc etc
or just postmethodurl as David suggested?

I trust that the image data does not come into the signing process,
and that I still can post the data using iso-8859-1 encoding as I
would normally do for uploading files?

If you have these answers, then I should be able to nail this for
our .net case.Oauth's been working great for us until this hitch...

Thanks

Simon

 Simon,

 I believe the body of your post might be incorrect. It should look like
 this:

 POST /account/update_profile_image.xml HTTP/1.1
 Content-Type: multipart/form-data;
 boundary=8cbed79c91b24f3
 Host: twitter.com
 Content-Length: 3863(this will probably change now..)

 --8cbed79c91b24f3
 Content-Disposition: form-data; name=image; filename=test.jpg
 Content-Type: image/jpeg

 (there's a few K of binary data here, the contents of the file)
 --8cbed79c91b24f3

 The rest of the OAuth variables should be passed on the query string.

 I hope this helps.

 Cheers,
 Nicholas

  I've tried all sorts... dropping the  off the end different

  What encoding did you use to encode your image, and then to post the

  Does it still work for you... or did this get broken when Twitter

   Got this sorted out and working, and thought I should share the two
   pitfalls which were causing me problems.

   First of all, unbelievably, the 500 Internal Server Error was being
   caused by an extra carriage return between my last HTTP header and the
   first multipart boundary. Seriously. I had two blank lines in there
   instead of one. Removed the extra carriage return, and my 500
   vanished, being replaced by a more reasonable (401) Unauthorized -
   Incorrect signature error.

   Secondly, the OAuth documentation seems a bit shaky when it comes to
   multipart/form-data POSTs. But basically, you do NOT use any of the
   POST parameters when creating your signature. And this includes all of
   the OAuth-specific parameters like oauth_consumer_key,
   oauth_signature_method, etc. Bit of a security hole imho, OAuth
   implements all this complexity to avoid man-in-the-middle or replay
   attacks, and as soon as you do a multipart POST it's all negated.

   So, my signature base was literally:

   POSThttp%3A%2F%2Ftwitter.com%2Faccount%2Fupdate_profile_image.xml

   Just the HTTP method and the URL. No parameters.

   Once I made that change to the signature generation, my request went
   through fine and my avatar changed.

   Hope this helps someone!

   Cheers,
   David...

I have been trying to run a Hadoop Streaming job for pulling tweets
from the API, but I cannot even ping twitter.com from the machine I am

I read that making concurrent HTTP requests is fine, but if the IP was
indeed blacklisted, then I must be exceeding some limit. Who should I
contact about this? Does anybody know what the limit is (aside from
the 20,000 per hour for whitelisted users)? I am using a suggested min

[twitter-dev] Twitpay is looking for a few more apps to use our API

2009-10-19 Thread Michael Ivey
Hi folks, as you may know, Twitpay has a simple and safe mechanism for
making payments between Twitter users.

What you may not know is that we have an API that you can use to enable and
track payments from your application, and even to collect a percentage for
yourself. The payments are all fulfilled via PayPal, and neither you nor
Twitpay has access to any of the funds, so your users don't have to worry as
much about the trust involved in sending money.

We're opening this API up to app developers very slowly, but we're ready for
a few more. If you're interested, please email me off-list (
mich...@twitpay.me) and tell me which app you work on. We're especially
interested in working with content sites: anyone doing really cool things
with images, video or audio?

If you have any questions, feel free to ask 'em.

Hi!

I want to post comment on twitter deck without going to twitter site.

Is there an API to do the same?

I want to send user authentication and comments in single post.

Use Basic Auth. You won't be able to state that your message came from app
name, but you will be able to authenticate and post a message with one

The problem is that these spammers are spoofing the from address of

2009-10-19 Thread Thomas Hübner
You can use TwitterVB which covers nearly the complete API in .NET
(OAuth included). U find it on codeplex http://twittervb.codeplex.com/

Cheers,

Nicholas Granado schrieb:
 Simon,
 
 You would sign the request with all of the usual oauth param
 suspects.  If I recall correctly this endpoint has no other params other
 than the 'image' param in the multi-part post body whose value would be
 the bytes of the image file.  Typically I've only seen the post params
 passed into the oauth signing rigmarole when the post body is urlencoded.
 
 I hope this helps, this whole OAuth thing can be very confusing at first
 glance.  If you are in C# I have my own lib for twitter basic auth/oauth
 that I've baked up, if you like I could pass you the bits.

 Nicholas,
 That's great feedback!
 
 In you opinion, how do I then sign the request? Do I use all the usual
 for the signaturebase... ie postmethodurlnonceetc etc
 or just postmethodurl as David suggested?
 
 I trust that the image data does not come into the signing process,
 and that I still can post the data using iso-8859-1 encoding as I
 would normally do for uploading files?
 
 If you have these answers, then I should be able to nail this for
 our .net case.Oauth's been working great for us until this hitch...

Got this sorted out and working, and thought I should share
 the two
pitfalls which were causing me problems.
 
First of all, unbelievably, the 500 Internal Server Error was
 being
caused by an extra carriage return between my last HTTP header
 and the
first multipart boundary. Seriously. I had two blank lines in
 there
instead of one. Removed the extra carriage return, and my 500
vanished, being replaced by a more reasonable (401)
 Unauthorized -
Incorrect signature error.
 
Secondly, the OAuth documentation seems a bit shaky when it
 comes to
multipart/form-data POSTs. But basically, you do NOT use any
 of the
POST parameters when creating your signature. And this
 includes all of
the OAuth-specific parameters like oauth_consumer_key,
oauth_signature_method, etc. Bit of a security hole imho, OAuth
implements all this complexity to avoid man-in-the-middle or
 replay
attacks, and as soon as you do a multipart POST it's all negated.
 
So, my signature base was literally:

If you can't connect at all, traceroutes are best. If you get weird

Hi,

We manage a social search engine ExploreWWW.com,  where users can submit
their website, find site relevant to their search term as well as benefit
from the wealth of information contributed by our community. We are planning
to pay using paypal for contributing to our search engine.

If you can allow then we can test your API for our contributing users.

 Hi folks, as you may know, Twitpay has a simple and safe mechanism for
 making payments between Twitter users.

 What you may not know is that we have an API that you can use to enable and
 track payments from your application, and even to collect a percentage for
 yourself. The payments are all fulfilled via PayPal, and neither you nor
 Twitpay has access to any of the funds, so your users don't have to worry as
 much about the trust involved in sending money.

 We're opening this API up to app developers very slowly, but we're ready
 for a few more. If you're interested, please email me off-list (

Currently twitter only gives this out when they feel your application needs it.

It's not that *this* list is a target. It's that *every* list is a

more time and energy to decide what lists *not* to spam. The sad thing

 The problem is that these spammers are spoofing the from address of
 list owners who usually get automatically posted and skip the
 moderation step. This is a flaw of the way Google Groups handles
 incoming posts, and not of the group admins.

Yes. We moderate a crap ton of spam on this list that subscribers never see.

This thread is officially locked.

 Does this list have non-member moderation enabled? Having that on
 helps block most of the spam bots that troll google groups.

 It's not that *this* list is a target. It's that *every* list is a
 target. The cost to send spam is practically zero, so it would take
 more time and energy to decide what lists *not* to spam. The sad thing
 is that it works and is obviously profitable, otherwise it would have
 stopped long ago.

 I do not really understand their motivation, 99% of the groups out there are
 not going to be susceptible to spam.  Most groups are tech, or at least,
 highly niche, and the people on it are going to know it is spam.  Most
 groups are filtered into a folder, there are just so many red flags.

 Spammers are a strange group.

 How come this list is such a target?  I am on some other google groups,
 larger than this by a fair degree, and this does not happen.

[twitter-dev] new discovery engine http://www.blazingstreams.com/

2009-10-19 Thread echeyde

hi, I've launched an early beta release of blazingstreams that is a
new discovery engine based on Twitter. We then filter and rank links
through several factors (user reputation, etc...) to surface hot
links. If anybody is interested in the data  through APIs, please let
me know. I'll be happy support them if demand happens.

The best way to check the data is through http://www.blazingstreams.com/.
Over time, we'll let users create their own topic of interests for
further personalization of the data.

Looking forward for feedback.

[twitter-dev] Re: Private lists showing up on memberships page

2009-10-19 Thread Marcel Molina

That looks like a bug. Thanks for bringing it to our attention.

 I've seen a couple instances now (@beaker and @mediaphyter) where a
 private list shows up on the list of a user's memberships. It doesn't
 seem like the existence of these private lists should be showing up in
 the memberships list, nor can I reproduce the issue on my own account.
 As an example, here's a brief snippet from 
 http://twitter.com/Beaker/lists/memberships.xml
 (sidenote that the member_count shows up as 5 on the HTML version of
 the memberships page).
