[twitter-dev] Re: Sudden OAuth failures from a specific IP address
Hey Ryan I think I've found the problem. Our app was making two calls to get a request token in very quick succession which resulted in the same nonce. I think this explains the 401, so not an IP problem at all. Sorry if I wasted your time. On Nov 26, 10:16 am, timwhitlock tim.whitl...@publicreative.com wrote: Thanks Ryan. The IP that results in failures is 87.224.88.186 I've run the exact same code on three other servers and the response is fine. We recently mucked about with some DNS settings, so perhaps you run some kind of reverse lookup, and something looks suspicious? Let me know if there's anything I can sort out there. The IP is static, but it's not a hosting provider. This is our office development server's public facing address. Tim.

[twitter-dev] Re: Search API questions
@Abraham I actually use the geocode with the search api for my script, so using the search api isn't my problem. My problem is that I get stale results from the search cache, even when querying after a sufficient interval. Also the stale results seem hours old (at times, in fact yesterday at 23:00 hours I got a few results that were from 22:00-22:30 hours. Didn't have the problem when using twitter search from the browser). To overcome this Raffi Krikorian suggested using the streaming api instead of the search api. My question was - how do i get a location specific stream using the streaming api. From the streaming api docs, there doesn't seem a way to do this at the moment, which kind of defeats my purpose as I need to the deploy the script in the next one week or so. Guess I'll have to live with the stale results... Anyway thanks for the help.

[twitter-dev] Re: Search API questions
Hi Elroy, I tried your query from python several times within the same minute. After running the query several times in a row I start getting fresh results and they remain fresh for a while. I tried changing the least significant decimal to make it a different query and I get stale results immediately. Switching back yields fresh results. This to me suggests that there may be two search tiers: one for low- frequency queries that probably searches a subset of tweets, and another one for frequent ones that searches everything and has an LRU cache of important queries. It seems that we can force queries into the LRU cache of the good tier by querying frequently enough. When I stop querying for three minutes or so I see the old results again. The question for the search team is how to have your query treated as an important one without abusing the API.

[twitter-dev] Twitter OAuth works fine in my app then I get error when trying to login to Twitter.com site
OAuth works fine in my application but then when I open a new tab to login to twitter, I login and I get this message: Woah there! This page requires some information that was not provided. Please return to the site that sent you to this page and try again … it was probably an honest mistake. When I hit back on the browser, the error message goes away and I am at my home page. This looks to be a bug with Twitter's OAuth. Here are the steps to reproduce: 1) Make sure you are logged out of twitter.com 2) Use a third party app to login to twitter: (you can use this demo: http://twitteroauth.appspot.com/) 3) Open a second tab, go to twitter.com and login. You should get the error message above? I am not too familiar with OAuth but I have used a few different code libraries for python and they all seem to have the same issue. Any one experience similar?
Re: [twitter-dev] Twitter OAuth works fine in my app then I get error when trying to login to Twitter.com site
Following up to myself: Yes I experience the same. Not sure what causes it... I see the same thing. The browser location bar shows http://twitter.com/oauth/authorize when you have the error page up. So something is redirecting us to the /oauth when we try a normal web login. Digging a little, I see a twitter.com _twitter_sess cookie is pushed to my browser by Twitter when I'm redirected to the auth page in step 2. The cookie is set to expire at end of session. Maybe that should be changed to have it expire in a couple of minutes, or maybe that cookie shouldn't be pushed to us at all. Does it interfere with signing in with a second 3rd party app? If I remove that cookie before going to Twitter in step 3, it all works fine. 1) Make sure you are logged out of twitter.com 2) Use a third party app to login to twitter 3) Open a second tab, go to twitter.com and login. You should get the error message above? Terry
Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Trying to trouble shoot DELETE list members with the Twitter gem.
This is the twitter gem at http://github.com/jnunemaker/twitter? The
problem seems to be that the list_remove_member in base.rb is trying
to pass parameters in with :body in the last hash
def list_remove_member(list_owner_username, slug, id)
perform_delete(/#{list_owner_username}/#{slug}/members.json,
:body = {:id = id})
end
However perform_delete in request.rb completely ignores this option
def perform_delete
send(:delete, uri, options[:headers])
end
You might try adding :headers = {:_method = DELETE} to your call,
but the best path seems to be to get the gem fixed up.

Hi We have a program that uses the Twitter API that we wrote and it (used to) work fine but recently we had to change the computer date we were calling our program from to 2018 instead of 2009 - this was done as a temporary test for another application we were running on that same computer unrelated to Twitter. Anyway, after we changed the date to 2018 - the Twitter API program still ran OK but when we then put the date back to 2009 our Twitter program wont run and is now reporting the following. The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized. But when we switch back to 2018 ..it runs fine. Can anyone shed some light on thsi please ? Is ther some date related switch we are missing in our Twitter program ? Thanks !
Re: [twitter-dev] 401 API Authentication Error
that's intriguing - but you'll have to provide a lot more information: are you using oauth, or basic auth? what endpoints are you calling when you are getting the error?

Re: [twitter-dev] Twitter OAuth works fine in my app then I get error when trying to login to Twitter.com site
There is an issue open for this: http://code.google.com/p/twitter-api/issues/detail?id=1199 Abraham On Sat, Nov 28, 2009 at 14:30, Terry Jones te...@jon.es wrote: Following up to myself: Yes I experience the same. Not sure what causes it... I see the same thing. The browser location bar shows http://twitter.com/oauth/authorize when you have the error page up. So something is redirecting us to the /oauth when we try a normal web login. Digging a little, I see a twitter.com _twitter_sess cookie is pushed to my browser by Twitter when I'm redirected to the auth page in step 2. The cookie is set to expire at end of session. Maybe that should be changed to have it expire in a couple of minutes, or maybe that cookie shouldn't be pushed to us at all. Does it interfere with signing in with a second 3rd party app? If I remove that cookie before going to Twitter in step 3, it all works fine. 1) Make sure you are logged out of twitter.com 2) Use a third party app to login to twitter 3) Open a second tab, go to twitter.com and login. You should get the error message above?

Re: [twitter-dev] Adding more languages to lang parameter in Search API
Could somebody from the Twitter team please address my question about language recognition in the search API? Many thanks in advance. T. 25.11.2009, в 10:00, Toma написал(а): 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
Re: [twitter-dev] Adding more languages to lang parameter in Search API
I'm sorry, but adding Serbian to the list is probably not a high priority for search right now.

Thanks a lot for your suggestion, Diego! I will look into it. All best, Toma 29.11.2009, в 6:10, dbasch написал(а): Toma, There are tools you could use to do language detection on your side and filter out non-Serbian tweets. I assume what slows you down is the call to Google's Language Detection API: http://code.google.com/apis/ajaxlanguage/documentation/#Detect You should try the n-gram based language identifier that comes with the Nutch search engine. You can build a language model for Serbian relatively quickly (just feed it a file with a fair amount of text in Serbian) and see how well it works: http://wiki.apache.org/nutch/LanguageIdentifier http://lucene.apache.org/nutch/ Diego On Nov 29, 1:30 am, Тома Тасовац transpoet...@gmail.com wrote: Could somebody from the Twitter team please address my question about language recognition in the search API?

Re: [twitter-dev] 401 API Authentication Error
That's my first bet -- the oauth_timestamps you used when your date is 2018 are newer than the ones you're using now, and that would probably return invalid timestamp / nonce errors.

[twitter-dev] Sync Twitter location to Fireeagle
Hi, I have a service up which sync's location published in your tweets to FireEagle. You can try it out here http://tweetaloc.nowwhat.in , this listens to the stream api from twitter [statuses/filter with follow] and updates your fireeagle location when a geocoded tweet from you comes in. Suggestions welcome. @jebui -- Jebu Ittiachen
[twitter-dev] Retweet streams have been frozen for 2 weeks
The retweet streams have been frozen for 2 weeks. See here: http://twitpic.com/rfcjv I thought it was just me, but a coworker is seeing this as well. Don't need this for dev but it would be nice to know what is going on. The pages take a long time to load and then show that above. I wonder if something is failing and just returning some kind of cache maybe? Don't know. A quick search on twitter shows I'm not alone: http://twitter.com/#search?q=retweets%20by%20others Zac Bowling
[twitter-dev] Re: Search API questions
Hi Everyone, I've been running my script as a cron task (every 15 minutes) since last evening. So far I've got about 1375 results logged, out of which 973 are duplicates (meaning stale entries)...a staggering 70.7076% or approximately 71%. This is way more than expected..so a shout out to the development team - Is there anyway to solve this problem, get around it ? @Diego, thanks a lot for confirming what I found. Also I tried querying frequently like you suggested, and yes I do hit good results more frequently. I didn't get the idea of the least significant decimal - are u referring to the geocode? @twitter dev team I do agree with Diego, there is got to be a way of getting good search results without finding ways to trick the API. Even with a cache, I see no reason why I should be getting results from over 6 hours ago for my search query. Regards, Elroy On Nov 28, 10:16 pm, dbasch dba...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Elroy, I tried your query from python several times within the same minute. After running the query several times in a row I start getting fresh results and they remain fresh for a while. I tried changing the least significant decimal to make it a different query and I get stale results immediately. Switching back yields fresh results. This to me suggests that there may be two search tiers: one for low- frequency queries that probably searches a subset of tweets, and another one for frequent ones that searches everything and has an LRU cache of important queries. It seems that we can force queries into the LRU cache of the good tier by querying frequently enough. When I stop querying for three minutes or so I see the old results again. The question for the search team is how to have your query treated as an important one without abusing the API.
