[twitter-dev] Adding more languages to lang parameter in Search API
Hi there. I am working on a WordNet-based Serbian-English dictionary (part of Transpoetika Project at the Belgrade Center for Digital Humanities, http://humanistika.org) I've implemented a LiveQuote system with Twitter, where we get most recent tweets exemplifying the use of a given dictionary entry. We also have several other ideas on how to integrate Twitter in our dictionary application, both on the production and reception ends. But we're facing a serious performance issue: Twitter's language parameter (lang) does not recognize Serbian (sr). My workaround has been to use Google Translate's API to check tweets to make sure they are really Serbian. It works, Google is pretty good about this (not 101%, but close enough), but this has considerably slowed down the process -- every tweet we get for a certain word has to be checked with Google before being displayed. Without a language check, however, we run into cases where certain Russian, Bulgarian, Macedonian etc. tweets will sometimes sneak into our results thanks to interlingual homographs. For eg. живот in Serbian means life, while in Russian it means stomach. I am curious how you guys check for language identity on your backend, and whether there was any chance you could include Serbian in the list? All best, Toma

John I'm with others here that this represents a significant change to the operation of the API and has affected numerous applications and samples, etc. Frankly I wish Twitter would really understand x-domain policy files better. If there is a concern around security, then address it and don't allow *user* changes on the API domain root. I fully understand the reason for x-domain policies as we need them for Silverlight as well -- and appreciate how they help mitigate the attack surface. But especially for Search, which is an unauthenticated API it doesn't make sense. Having twitter segment their API (or provide a different endpoint for RIA clients that has the security risk mitigation in place) seems to make sence. That's exactly what others (Yahoo, Microsoft, etc.) do -- instead of hanging their API off of the end- user application it is segmented (i.e., yahooapis.com or api.twitter.com) so as to help the security threat surface. Twitter doesn't block domains from using the services otherwise and having a x-domain policy in place that is DIFFERENT than what is allowed in the API in general is very confusing to the developer audience. Please change the Search API back ASAP as that in the short-term has the greatest negative effect on a lot of applications that relied on it and are now affected TWICE in one week without notification. Users of the transactional API always knew from the very beginning about the x-domain policy file (even though it, too, went through a change early on), but the Search API hasn't been like this for a long time. Consider your developer audience in the short-term while you consider a longer-term solution. And until then, provide us with a phase-out plan instead of a complete shut-off which negatively affects us and our customers. I understand Twitter is a free service and such has the typical SLA that comes along with free. But it has been an invaluable service to your customers and ours -- I also agree with others that making these announcements BEFORE the changes on status.twitter.com and these lists as well as the official API announce is essential.

I've used cURL (curl www.google.com) and it works fine in console. What could be going wrong here? Is there something I should add of change first in order to receive the tokens? By the way, I got the CentOS default FW set allowing traffic on port 80 and SSH only. I would like to ask for a hint about what should I do, I'm kinda newbie on CentOS. thank you in advance

[twitter-dev] Regarding the search API based on Geo location
Hi everyone, I have a question regarding the search API.
Take a look at these two tweets return from the API.
{
* location: Santa Clara, CA
* geo: null
}
{
* location: iPhone: 37.313690,-122.022911
* geo: null

* geo: null

1) im not sure why I haven't seen any tweet with geo filed included(I
go through more than 20 pages). Is this normal? Is that possible to
get only tweet with geo included?
2) if 1) won't work, I want to filter all the tweets with valid
location like the second one, therefore, I can push the tweet on map.
Is the keyword also apply for the location? It's hard for the first
one cuz it doesn't have the detail address.
Thanks!
[twitter-dev] Re: getting Twitter client type
Thanks for pointing that out - use of the source parameter is not mentioned in the API docs. Still, I am unable to search _only_ by the source parameter. Doing so results in the following error: [error]You must enter a query.[/error]. Any way around this? For certain apps we are working on, tweets sent through the app form a set. It shouldn't be necessary to keep copies on our server, I would like the ability to query for them. A compromise, and a strategy used in some other APIs, is to return a set of IDs which can then be handled and sent back for the full items.

[twitter-dev] Incorrect Retweet Responses
I'm working to integrate support for official retweets in my app, but I'm running into issues. I believe I'm getting incorrect responses from Twitter. When successful I get the correct response (info about a new tweet that is a retweet of the original tweet). However, when I ask to retweet a tweet from a private account or some other illegal action, rather than getting an error response, I get info about a retweet of this tweet: http://twitter.com/brettschulte/status/5656834480. I've tested this from two accounts (@TwittBeta, @AlternatePixel) and have gotten the same results. Also, not sure if it's any help, but looking at the incorrect response (attached below), I noticed that there is no ID for the retweet. Perhaps this has something to do with why it's getting returned? Hope this can get fixed soon.

Re: [twitter-dev] Regarding the search API based on Geo location
hi!
i think you're confusing two different things here. the location is
what is set in the user's account settings (https://twitter.com/account/settings
) if it is not a geotweet. the geo tag is set if the tweet is sent
using the geotagging API.
the number of geotweets (tweets sent using the geotagging API) is on
the rise, but its definitely still small as there is a limited number
of applications that currently support it (birdfeed, foursquare,
gowalla, etc.). but, for example, if somebody checks in using
foursquare, and they have geotagging turned on, then you should see it.
try a search that looks like http://search.twitter.com/search.json?from=raffigeocode=37.77%2C-122.43%2C50mi
. that should search for my tweets that are within 50 miles of san
francisco. the results look like the following (abbreviated):

}
in both of these, the location attribute appears and is populated
because i used the geocode operator on search. in the first returned
tweet, the location is set to San Francisco, California because that's
what i have in my account settings and because that tweet was not sent
using the geotagging API (its not a geotweet). the second, however,
has its location set to that latitude and longitude from the
geotagging API, and the geo attribute is populated -- that one is a
geotweet.
there is no current way to filter search results so that you only get
geotweets.
does this help?

[twitter-dev] Re: Regarding the search API based on Geo location
I'm not sure if I successfully reply to this post. I'm sorry if I made
duplicate reply.
Yes, thanks for your help. I'm only interested in tweets have valid
geo location like:
location:37.818300,-122.245000
So I can push it on map.
I'm curious how does some twitter clients like TweetMap and tweetie
does. For example the nearby feature like tweetie, It will load more
than 20 tweets for each load. My app get 100 tweets on each page, and
the number of valid geo tweets is small. The only solution I can think
of is to keep loading the next page until I get enough good tweets.
If I do it in client side, the user might be blocked by twitter. Will
it help if I put my whitelist account in the search request? One thing
need to mention is my app will search more tweet when user move the
location. Thanks a lot!

the number of geotweets (tweets sent using the geotagging API) is on
the rise, but its definitely still small as there is a limited number
of applications that currently support it (birdfeed, foursquare,
gowalla, etc.). but, for example, if somebody checks in using
foursquare, and they have geotagging turned on, then you should see it.
try a search that looks

there is no current way to filter search results so that you only get

Hi everyone, I have a question regarding the search API.
Take a look at these two tweets return from the API.
{
* location: Santa Clara, CA
* geo: null
}
{
* location: iPhone: 37.313690,-122.022911
* geo: null
}
{
* location: ÜT: 37.293106,-121.969004
* geo: null
}
1) im not sure why I haven't seen any tweet with geo filed included(I
go through more than 20 pages). Is this normal? Is that possible to
get only tweet with geo included?
2) if 1) won't work, I want to filter all the tweets with valid
location like the second one, therefore, I can push the tweet on map.
Is the keyword also apply for the location? It's hard for the first
one cuz it doesn't have the detail address.
Thanks!

[twitter-dev] Re: Regarding the search API based on Geo location
Yes Thanks a lot for your reply. I'm curious how client like tweetie
and tweetmap does in their application.
For example, the nearby feature in tweetie looks pretty good.
It can drop more than 20 pins on each load; however, I can't get that
many results from the api search with valid location like
location:37.818300,-122.245000
I did load 100 results in each page.
The only way I'm thinking is just keep loading the pages(next page-
next page until num result20).
Is this easy to be blocked by twitter?
Because my app will try to load more results when user move the map.
Thanks!
