[twitter-dev] Problems with authentication [Java/Scala, Apache HttpClient]
Ive written a Twitter client library in Scala (a JVM-based object/functional language) that uses Apache HttpClient to connect to the Twitter servers, but now (while at a conference here in Munich) the Basic HTTP authentication fails with a 401 and no other error message that I can see. The HttpClient library *seems* to be sending the right information in the right headers, and I know the authentication credentials work because I can Curl to the page successfully. (This also means that the problem, obviously, isnt Twitters fault, at least as far as I can see.) If youve worked with the Twitter API from Apache HttpClient in Java, can you please ping me off-list? (Or, assuming the conversation isnt considered noise, on-list is fine, too.) I could use some ideas on how to successfully debug the problem Im having. One other question vis-à-vis authentication: for Basic authentication, should the realm be Twitter API (which is what Twitter sends back from a successful Curl invocation), or should it be nothing at all? Ive seen examples that do both, and would like to do the right thing, whatever that is. (It seems to make no difference with my authentication woes, either way.) Thanks!

[twitter-dev] Re: Retrieving infomation from twitter search api
I'm not sure. The code is basically what i put with it getting some other data like the date, link. All seems fine except this ommitting content problem. Even when i change to event.toString() in place of asCharacters(), it still ommits out the information so it should not be due to asCharacters() right? Sorry, I'm still very new to all these Java, hoping someone could help enlighten me.

[twitter-dev] Re: the new retweet feature might break my app
Search is aware of the need for a retweet operator, but the feature is unscheduled and completely speculative. In any case, Search will become less useful for this sort of repetitive complete corpus search. If you need all of something, or a sample of something, you should be moving to the Streaming API wherever possible. -John Kalucki http://twitter.com/jkalucki Services, Twitter Inc.

Hi All, I've been getting a high number of 500 errors (about 50% of the time yesterday) after user authenticated via oauth, and I try to get the access token from twitter.

I give mgtwitterengine credit for being there (was there for me in a snap once) and being there first for cocoa devs to drop in, but there are some nasties to it.

Hey Zac, That's what I decided to do too. Interested in your point of concern given as an example though. MGTwitterEngine gives you a UUID for each request right?

[twitter-dev] Re: MGTwitterEngine - anyone added list support yet?
My opinions are more from using an older version of it and things may have changed in the last few months. They never used to give a source (an object handle or ID or anything that could hold on too) that gave you and idea of the account the data was coming from to your callback delegate (made very difficult to support multiple accounts). I'm recalling this from memory, but there was also a dictionary at its core IIRC that was tracking things by string rather then just giving me an object pointer that I could hold on too that really bothered me. Too long ago and to many brain cells spent since then to remember exactly that issue. :-) It also was written before Objective-C 2.0 ;-) Zac Bowling @zbowling On Wed, Nov 11, 2009 at 1:35 PM, Tim Haines tmhai...@gmail.com wrote: Hey Zac, That's what I decided to do too.

Hey, Have you guys given any thought to a streaming api for follows/ following? So, specifically, you'd name a set of people (or get a firehose), and you'd get pushed a notification in real time every time a one of those users follows / is followed? Of course, one could generalize such a feature to include any events, including list events, attribute changes (updating user description text), etc.

[twitter-dev] Getting protected user followers
Hi folks, I own @unfollowr bot and it needs to get its followers followers by social graph methods, but some users have protected updates and twitter gives me 401 error. I don't understand why do I can view user followers on the web and can't do that via api call? User followers are public anyway. So maybe there's way to request user for getting his followers and statuses _without_ following him? Afair, currently requst automatically adds user to my followers. I don't need such behavior. Thanks for any feedback and sorry for my English.
[twitter-dev] Re: Streaming apis for follows/following?
We've thought about it, scoped it, and been careful to build various components in such a way to eventually trivially support streaming social graph changes over the Streaming API. This data would probably lead to very interesting things, and we're excited about the possibilities. But, social graph changes are not the highest priority item at the moment, other items must come first. -John Kalucki http://twitter.com/jkalucki Services, Twitter Inc.

[twitter-dev] Twitter message with html entities get truncated
I store my content in a MySQL database. The website is using PHP. Data fields are encoded so that html tags are using entities; i.e. p = lt;pgt; When I query the database I decode the entities, and then strip the tags. That works fine. But some entities don't get converted. So nbsp; causes a problem for a cURL message. The message is truncated at the ampersand. So I did a string replace where nbsp; becomes a space. So that solved one problem. But ampersand is still a problem. Neither amp; or simply work. The both result in a truncated message. A string replace of amp; with 'and' seems to work. But is kind of weird. I have also tried utf8_encode($message) but I don't see any difference in the output or the result with the API. All of the API help and samples I have seen use a very simple message example. I have not seen any help on how to format the actual message. I saw some where that it should be UTF-8. Mostly the messages are plain text, but these two characters cause problems. So do quotes and single quotes as far as that goes. If I add slashes the slashes come through in the final message. Is there any real help for these problems?

[twitter-dev] Re: Retrieving infomation from twitter search api
Yes so was thinking something went wrong with the code that results in
it ommitting out those response with the double quotation
Tried to print out the items retrieved.
When i reach here
while (eventReader.hasNext()) {
XMLEvent event = eventReader.nextEvent();
Tried System.out.println(event);
the full content can still be seen. But when i reach here:
if (event.isStartElement()) {
StartElement startElement = event.asStartElement();
The sentences with the double quotation seems to have disappeared.

[twitter-dev] Re: Since_ID and Search Problem
I've been seeing this problem for the last couple of weeks too. I
thought I was going crazy.
Most of the time when I do a search with since_id, it returns zero
results. My searches always include to:screenname in addition to
since_id. For example:
With since_id: curl http://api.twitter.com/1/search.json?
since_id=5627135528q=to%3APogue
result:
{
results: [],
max_id: 5637056671,
since_id: 5627135528,
refresh_url: ?since_id=5637056671q=to%3APogue,
results_per_page: 15,
page: 1,
completed_in: 0.012596,
query: to%3APogue
}
Without since_id: curl http://api.twitter.com/1/search.json?q=to
%3APogue
(notice that the ids are higher than the since_id I passed in):
result:

My only workaround is to ignore the results I've already seen before
but no one wins--Twitter has to send me more results and I have to
process more results.
A fix soon would be very much appreciated. Thanks!

Performing this search turns up 0 results when it should show 4.

Run it with nosince_idand it works. Then straight away run the
