[twitter-dev] Long String Signing
Hi All I'm battling with the oauth stuff, but it looks like my HMAC-SHA1 hashing does not generate the right strings for long input strings. Eg: I enter the following: Normalised Parameters: oauth_consumer_key=keyoauth_nonce=1112009295818146IJ2592BY08TKD28W8IHG5179oauth_signature_method=HMAC- SHA1oauth_timestamp=1259521081oauth_version=1.0 And my string to sign is: GEThttp%3A%2F%2Fterm.ie%2Foauth%2Fexample %2Frequest_token.phpoauth_consumer_key%3Dkey%26oauth_nonce %3D1112009295818146IJ2592BY08TKD28W8IHG5179%26oauth_signature_method %3DHMAC-SHA1%26oauth_timestamp%3D1259521081%26oauth_version%3D1.0 I generate a hash 8B0E9AFC15E265C49A687F7FC0C389A1F0B791C3 but the online one says it should be uyvprElXXCt+KgZ8VCUhPt8FJN0=This is much shorter than mine. I've tested the script on short data strings and it gives the right answer. 1. Is my string above correct for hashing and generating a signature? 2. The just before the oauth_consumer_key should be a ? (question mark) on windows servers. Does this have to be ? or a ? 3. Does anyone have examples of correct strings to hash and the correct signature? Best regards Andre

That's one mistake that most people make. You are suppose to put the parameters in order EXCEPT the signature parameter. The signature parameter is created by using the other parameters, then it's appended to the end of the query string. The OAuth signature is generated.

[twitter-dev] Geo-enabled but only geo/ in xml
Hi there, I'm confused by the apparent status of geotagging in twitter. The API documentation only mentions it for status update and advice on geo-enabling in applications. So I enabled this on my profile and so am seeing the geo_enabledtrue/geo_enabled when using 'twitter.com/statuses/ user_timeline.xml' with basic authentication. But. There is pnly a single empty geo/ tag in the XML, no actual data at all. Does anyone know what is happening? Many Thanks, Chris.

I know that i should post on the Twitter gem group(and i have) but
that place is dead and also i think my problem is not with the gem but
understanding how the oauth and REST works. I could be looking down
the wrong path tho seeing as how i kinda feel like Alice down the
rabbit hole.
Everything dealing with lists works on the twitter gem but one thing
and that's list_remove_user which is using the DELETE list members
API.
Now when i use it as planned i get this error.
Twitter::RateLimitExceeded: (400): Bad Request - You must specify a
member
Which is the same error you get if you use the api via curl and leave
off the id
http://apiwiki.twitter.com/Twitter-REST-API-Method%3A-DELETE-list-mem...
It has nothing to do with the rate limit. twitter gem just returns all
400's as a ratelimitexceded. There is no rate limit for adding and
removing list items and also my account is whitelisted.
Then i moved on and noticed that the delete method was only passing
the uri and header options meanwhile post and put had an extra body
option.
def perform_post
send(:post, uri, options[:body], options[:headers])
end
def perform_delete
send(:delete, uri, options[:headers])
end
From that i assumed that the id that gets passed for the users id must
be inside of the options[:body] and that's why twitter was telling me
You must specify a member
When oauth gem creates the url's to query it does it like so and once
again they do not include body
def post(path, body = '', headers = {})
request(:post, path, body, headers)
end
def delete(path, headers = {})
request(:delete, path, headers)
end
But that all blows up when i add body to delete.
So after all of this i guess what I'm wondering is.. is there
something to do with oauth and REST that will not let you pass along
extra params and do i need to look into using a POST method and
passing _method=DELETE.
I have not tried that yet because i have no idea how to attempt that
in the confines of ruby using oauth. thanks for any help, this is
driving me nuts.

[twitter-dev] Re: Twitter login with Flex
As long as you are building an AIR app you are okay, but if you're working in Flex and intending to put the result online somewhere, it's not going to work. This is due to Twitter's unfortunate ongoing blocking of Flash apps by using a restrictive crossdomain.xml policy. There is no way right now for a Flash application to make requests of anything other than the search API, unless you use a proxy, which is very lame. Here are some recent threads discussing crossdomain issues with the API: http://groups.google.com/group/twitter-development-talk/browse_frm/thread/d3230be66c27c88e/b25653be788942c9?lnk=gstq=crossdomain#b25653be788942c9 http://groups.google.com/group/twitter-development-talk/browse_frm/thread/4adf2a0297ce052d/e6831b2340a30478?lnk=gstq=crossdomain#e6831b2340a30478 http://groups.google.com/group/twitter-development-talk/browse_frm/thread/e35a708400b529b3/4eec7a31e269c030?lnk=gstq=crossdomain#4eec7a31e269c030 On Nov 26, 9:31 pm, Wilfred yau wld991...@gmail.com wrote: I think you are using Basic Auth to login, but it don't work well in Flex, you should try to use OAuth that have better support on Flex. any you can use some library to help you finish the project:http://code.google.com/p/tweetr/http://code.google.com/p/oauth-as3/ sample code is including in the library.

I've looked at the API documentation, but so far it's been nothing but Chinese to me :P Retrieving search information and other timelines is no problem though, it's just the status update part that's been bothering me :D I'd love to get some help on this.

Re: [twitter-dev] Long String Signing
The online one is giving you a base 64 encoded value (which should be used). The string you gave (8B0E9AFC15E265C49A687F7FC0C389A1F0B791C3) looks like it's a hex representation of a byte array. Can you try to base 64 encode that and see if there are differences? ---Mark On Sun, Nov 29, 2009 at 9:13 AM, abruton andrebru...@gmail.com wrote: Hi All I'm battling with the oauth stuff, but it looks like my HMAC-SHA1 hashing does not generate the right strings for long input strings.

I've tested the script on short data strings and it gives the right answer. 1. Is my string above correct for hashing and generating a signature? 2. The just before the oauth_consumer_key should be a ? (question mark) on windows servers. Does this have to be ? or a ? 3. Does anyone have examples of correct strings to hash and the correct signature? Best regards Andre
[twitter-dev] Extraordinary needs for source parameter registration
Hi develop team, I am the developer of Twigee which is a twitter client for android platform. I understand that the source parameter could be registered using OAuth. But, there are some reasons I still would like to request a source parameter. 1. The oauth pages are blocked in some countries such as China, and most of my users are come from China. OAuth might not work when my app needs to grant the access from twitter page in oauth request progress. 2. I would like to keep various login methods for my app because it is based on mobile phone and the basic authentication will be easy for users. Please understand my situation and I am looking forward to geting the approval from your side. Thanks in advance. My app's name is Twigee and the soruce is http://www.twigee.com Thanks.
[twitter-dev] Twitter Search is timing out using a specific query.
I am getting a timeout error when searching from the api and from the twitter search page. This query works fine: http://bit.ly/5Tyvex source:ShopperTalk but this does not: http source:ShopperTalk or this does not: bit.ly source:ShopperTalk I'm new, should I not be trying a search like the ones that are failing? I'm trying to get all tweets that come from my application, is there a better way? Thanks, Jim
