Re: [twitter-dev] Deleting account, then recreating it
Hi BJ The link you sent me doesn't state any information regarding the account being available for recreation. However, you can restore your account here http://twitter.com/account/deleted?email= So, why was I trying to delete my account? I'm trying to drop all the people I am following, and all the people following me. Is there a way to do this? Or do I have to write a custom program for this?

[twitter-dev] Re: Couple Local Trends geo API questions
Hi Ed, You can send geotagged tweets from any web browser using the portal we developed: http://www.kirigo.com You can sign up and then login in using your twitter account At the moment we only feed tweets into twitter, but we might also retrieve tweets from twitter in the future - I have no timeline for that implementation yet Let me know if you have any question Luca On 27 Gen, 03:13, M.

Nice!!

Thanks!! I'll be watching my browser! ;-) One other geo question - is there a list somewhere of which clients / desktop tools send tweets that are geotagged? I can infer some of that by collecting geotagged tweets from the streaming API and looking at the source field, but I was looking for something like If you want your tweets to be geotagged, do this and it will work.

[twitter-dev] Re: local trends ability to exclude hashtags?
what's the use case of this? i suppose this is possible, but then we would just return a truncated list from our side. If you call the trend/current with the excludes=hashtags you get the top 10 trends without hashtags... For example, right now if I do it with hashtags I get (partial JSON response): name:#imthetypeto name:#nowplaying name:RIP JD Salinger name:Haiti name:Catcher in the Rye name:Howard Zinn name:#subliminaltweet name:#omgthatssotrue name:Shorty Award name:#idothat2 and without hashtags I get: name:RIP JD Salinger name:Haiti name:Catcher in the Rye name:Howard Zinn name:Shorty Award name:Holden Caulfield name:All-Star name:Union name:Super Bowl name:SOTU Ideally the new local trends api would give us the ability to do the same. It would mean tracking more trends on your end I guess (up to 20 instead of 10 I am guessing since the top 10 could all be hashtags). Thanks, ..darcy D'Arcy Smith CTO TerraTap Technologies Inc.

[twitter-dev] Re: Mass account creation
Honestly, I don't understand why people break their heads over who follow them. It does not make an ounce of difference if an entire army of spam bots or follower churners follow your account. They can't DM you if you don't follow back. They can @reply you whether they follow you or not. In fact, if you are stuck at a magical following limit, then those followers can enable you to follow more accounts. The only small irritation is the new follower email notification that Twitter sends out. Just disable those notifications, and you will never even know that you are followed by spammers, scammers, and churners.

[twitter-dev] Error clients may not make more than 0 requests per hour returned for every request
Hi, I'm one of the developers of Twitbit, an iPhone Twitter app: http://twitbitapp.com As of about an hour ago, I began getting this error in response to every API request sent to Twitter: Rate limit exceeded. Clients may not make more than 0 requests per hour. I get this for all accounts I have added to Twitbit. For what it's worth, Twitbit is an OAuth app, and if I fire up a different Twitter iPhone application that uses basic auth configured with the same accounts, I do not receive this error. I've searched for this error, and there are other people using other applications complaining of the same thing. Any help with this is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. John

I'm having the same problems. oauth calls from my application are failing with the '0 reqs per hour' message, on both my internal machines and my host at the data center. However, my personal account still flies okay on seesmic etc... It's weird. My app isn't considered aggressive at this point since I'm the only testing it.

[twitter-dev] Re: 'Incorrect signature' on status update with OAuth when verify credentials works
Hi Ryan.
I´m having the same problem with the statuses/update using the php
library provided by Twitter, name as : Twitter-async, as said eco_bach
i verified my signatures and i receive information back on verify
credentials (and no 'incorrect signature' error), it´s really rare
what it´s happening couse some times it works and some times apeear
when a do a ¨$connection-post('statuses/update', array('status' =
$statusStr))¨ the misterious message ¨incorrect signatures¨ as
response. I dont know what to do, becouse i´m following all the stuffs
that are described on the Twitter-async API. It began to happen the
last Tuesday 26th.
My regards.

[twitter-dev] Efficiency of Search VS Streaming API for some apps
We started running into rate limiting issues today with one of our applications that uses the Search API (squawq.com). We're using it to track user-defined queries for a bunch of folks and provide analytics on those searches. It seems like developers are being asked to migrate to the Streaming API, but I'm worried it's going to be _way_ less efficient than how we're currently using the Search API. Most of the terms we are tracking are relatively low volume and contain complex search AND type keyword phrases. ex: [twitter development OR twitterdev OR twitter api]. Most of these are low volume and we can poll a couple times an hour very efficiently. The problem is that as we gain more users, the number of these low- volume terms increases. So a second user might be tracking [coke OR coca cola], and a third user might track [first lego league OR legoleague], and so on. To be able to support this with the Streaming API we would either have to pull a gigantor amount of tweets in through the firehose (assuming we had access) and implement another layer of indexing, or we'd have to set up a stream for each search a user has created, again pulling in way more data than we do currently, but also requiring many concurrent connections and needing to do the join behavior after the fact. Long story short, I totally see how the streaming api has made things super efficient for a number of applications. For our Squawq app, however, it seems to be the worst possible scenario: way more bandwidth intensive, requiring more connections to support all the different searches we are running on behalf of our users, and adding a huge amount of processing, storage and software complexity to the process. All for what seemed like a relatively lightweight, low- bandwidth process with the search api. Anyone have any ideas for making the streaming api work well in this scenario? Can the Twitter team still whitelist search api users that have this sort of need? Thanks in advance for any feedback or recommendations. @jmstriegel

[twitter-dev] about search api and User Agent
Hi: Search Api Documentation says that: Applications must have a meaningful and unique User Agent when using this method. It is not clear for me. My web page will make requests from client- side, so normally the User Agent will be the browser and system information of clients. Is the default one (browser-system information) meaningful or should I manually change the User Agent. What is unique and meaningful, should I give a number for it. Or do you mean, the requests from the same ip should have the same User Agent string. Thanks;
[twitter-dev] What is the lifespan of the OAuth token?
Is this the right group to ask about the OAuth implementation? I am new to OAuth, just decided to learn more and to try to add Login with twitter' to my CMS I have a question - how long is the token good for? I mean, is the token life somehow tied to a user's session or can I use a token after user has left my site, for a relatively long time? If I want to create a service like twitlater, where a user creates messages and tells the service to send them in a few days or in a month, will OAuth work for that or will the token expire before the time to send message? I mean the original user who set the 'time to send' will not be logged in at that time anymore. I'm just not sure if OAuth token will still be valid after a month. How long is it good for? Thanks.

Re: [twitter-dev] What is the lifespan of the OAuth token?
I believe Twitter currently does not expire access tokens. They may become invalid in the future due to the user revoking access to your application. Otherwise it should be good still for a long time. Josh On Thu, Jan 28, 2010 at 9:19 PM, Dmitri Snytkine d.snytk...@gmail.com wrote: Is this the right group to ask about the OAuth implementation?

[twitter-dev] Re: Statuses/Show Method doesn't display multiple statuses?
The easy way is to use the search API with from:username as the query term. It'll work for public tweets. Ie. http://search.twitter.com/search.json?q=from%3Ajmstriegel I'm currently hitting rate limit issues with the search api, though, so if you're planning on doing this in high volume for lots of users at a time, look into the streaming api instead. There's a follow parameter on the statuses/filter method that will get you what you want: http://apiwiki.twitter.com/Streaming-API-Documentation On Jan 28, 11:35 pm, beerkid beers...@gmail.com wrote: I am looking to get a result similar to if I visit twitter.com/ USERNAME.
