local trends api trends/available is no longer working, it was
working fine until recently. I'm using this in my iPhone app
iTrends. Below is the API call and the response I'm getting.
http://api.twitter.com/1/trends/available.json

I looked at the API documentation, it has not changed, it does not

[twitter-dev] Multiple Account creation
Hi there, I'm a little confused about the number of accounts that is allowed. Searching through this group, the web and reading the Twitter EULA it seems just a few are allowed. However in these threads http://groups.google.com/group/twitter-development-talk/browse_thread/thread/396f0ea6a634d1e/dd8d0dd2bc6b5329 and http://groups.google.com/group/twitter-development-talk/browse_thread/thread/4fac98bee4430efd/8f16874856c670f2 it's stated that multiple accounts are allowed and that even 600 accounts could be allowed. But after reading the StatTweets and Sportytweets stories, and their suspended accounts I'm a little confused. Since on the other hand, TweetmyJobs.com has stated they manage over 8000 different Twitteraccounts. And that sounds like a huge multi-account violation to me. We're currently setting up a localised version of Tweetmyjobs, which will require a lot less accounts, but we would still need around 250 accounts (lto localise the jobs in different areas to different channels). So my question is; would this be acceptable and what would be the best way to set this up, without violating Twitters TOS. Or would it just be a waste of my time?

[twitter-dev] Get user profile pic by name, unauthenticated?
Hello all, please forgive a newbie here. I would like to accomplish one simple task as described in the title: get the URL of a user profile picture by user name, in the context of a Mac application. At this time (and in the foreseeable future) I have no interest in doing more with the API(s). I do not want to ask users to authenticate with their own accounts for this simple purpose, and I don't want to run into an application-based rate-limit for my distributed, desktop application. I do plan to cache and honestly I can't imagine more than 50 calls a WEEK per IP for this purpose. I assume based on this from the FAQ: The REST API does account- and IP-based rate limiting. Authenticated API calls are charged to the authenticating user's limit while unauthenticated API calls are deducted from the calling IP address' allotment. ... that the user's IP is the one deducted if unauthenticated, which is perfectly fine. But the search API requires authentication: http://api.twitter.com/1/users/search.xml?q=username I've spent quite a lot of time trying to figure this out already, so a simple yes, you can do it and here's the URL would be very kind.

[twitter-dev] Re: @anywhere testing from local development machine
Yes, you need to give your machine a real domain name in your /etc/ hosts file. It doesn't have to really resolve in the real world, but javascript calls running inside your browser need to find your local machine by that domain name. I made-up a subdomain of an existing domain that I control.

[twitter-dev] Problem with JSON
I have developed an iPhone app that connects to the streaming API the
app was running correctly for 2 months but since yesterday it has not! I can
still receive a response from the stream but now I can not parse the JSON
correctly... My parser believes that the stream is incorrectly structured. I
get a few correctly structured results and then I get errors. Is it a
problem at twitters end or mine? Below is a snippet of my code.
To initialize the HTTP request:
request = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:[NSString
stringWithFormat: @http://%@:%@@
stream.twitter.com/1/statuses/filter.json?track=%@, [[NSUserDefaults
standardUserDefaults] stringForKey:@UsernameKey], [[NSUserDefaults

- (void)connection:(NSURLConnection *)connection didReceiveData:(NSData
*)data {
NSString *responseString = [[[NSString alloc] initWithData:data
encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding] autorelease];
NSDictionary *dictionary = (NSDictionary *) [parser
objectWithString:responseString error:nil];
NSDictionary *user = (NSDictionary *) [dictionary valueForKey:@user];
if([user valueForKey:@screen_name] != nil) {
Tweet *tweet = [[Tweet alloc] init];
[tweet setScreenName:[user valueForKey:@screen_name]];
[tweet setLink:[user valueForKey:@profile_image_url]];
[tweet setMessage:[dictionary valueForKey:@text]];

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Promoted Tweets and the API?
Do you know if those of us making small uses of the API (for example, most of our site runs off of the API, but we aren't an application in the sense that we perform actions on behalf of users via the API) have to register at dev. to be able to avoid being automatically opted in at some point? Also, do you know how much agency we have in where promoted tweets appear? (Is placement determined automatically by keywords in the tweets, or are we allowed to pick? Likewise, are we penalized (as per AdWords) for electing to appear for a search or keyword if an algorithm can't see it's relevance, or will the up/down system be entirely based on how users respond to what we've elected to promote?) its too early to know answers to either of these questions -- the promoted tweets program just started, and i suspect it will be a few months before we get to the syndication phase of the program. -- Raffi Krikorian Twitter Platform Team http://twitter.com/raffi -- Subscription settings: http://groups.google.com/group/twitter-development-talk/subscribe?hl=en

Re: [twitter-dev] Problem with JSON
If you can store the offending JSON and then run it through a JSON verifier
to see if it's malformed, that'd be great. Please post the offending JSON
and the error.
Otherwise, if there is a case where disambiguation is impossible, please
give examples of the two messages types that cannot be categorized.
Chances are that there is a new field in the message that your logic isn't
handling correctly. I'm not aware of any payload of rendering changes

[twitter-dev] Privacy issues with the proposed annotations feature
Right now the web UI exposes every piece of metadata in a tweet to end-users. That is, an end-user can use twitter.com to check the complete contents of tweet sent by an application. I didn't see anything in the proposals regarding the annotation feature that says that users will be able to see all the annotations through the web UI. And, even if they could see them, chances are they couldn't understand them. And, even if end-users could understand them, applications will be able to use encryption and other obfuscation to make them impossible to interpret. This reduces the amount of control users have over their tweets. Right now an application cannot disclose the user's location in a tweet, except by putting the location information in the tweet text (which the user can see very clearly), or by putting the location information in the built-in geo feature. The ability for applications to expose the user's information is controlled by a preference that can be controlled only by the official web interface on twitter.com. However, with the annotations feature, applications will be able to expose the user's location-again, possibly encrypted or otherwise obfuscated-even when application access to the location feature is disabled. It doesn't make sense to disable an applications' access to the geo feature and then let it silently and undetectably disclose the user's location-perhaps in even more detail than the built-in geo feature allows. I think there must be some kind of control mechanism in place for annotations, or the web UI must present all the annotations of a user's tweets to that user, or both, in order to prevent the annotations feature from becoming a side channel for applications to communicate users' private information without users' knowledge or consent. I would like to know more about how this is going to be done. Thanks, Brian -- Subscription settings: http://groups.google.com/group/twitter-development-talk/subscribe?hl=en

Re: [twitter-dev] Early look at Annotations
I like that annotations will be open so that the various schema can live/die organically based on client adoption (or lack thereof) rather than an artificially-emposed constraint. I outlined some of my ideas for annotations (or Twitterformats, as I called them) at the end of last year at http://twitterformats.org — hope they add to the conversation. Aral Sent from my iPhone On 16 Apr 2010, at 19:24, Joseph Cheek jos...@cheek.com wrote: awesome idea! I know I can find a use for it. Some concerns, however, below... Joseph Cheek Marcel Molina wrote: the sentence Namespaces aren't intended as a way for people to claim their little slice of the tweet space. and the sentence If you want a given key to mean one thing and someone else wants that same key to mean something else, and someone else still wants another meaning, consumers of your annotations are put in a tricky spot trying to figure out how to interpret a given annotation without the disambiguation of a namespace. seem to be at odds with each other. If you don't provide a way for us devs to claim a particular namespace, you force each of us to figure out what a dev meant with namespace xyz, which is what you way you want to avoid. Perhaps namespaces can be prefixed with com.cheek.twitter or somesuch à la Java. Just a thought. We're erring on the side of thinking that the moderate increase in payload size for tweets with annotations, even on slow connections, is both more convenient and faster than the latency and inconvenience incurred by adding another HTTP round trip. agreed, especially with rate limiting in place. * Ok, great. How are we going to figure out what Joe Random's annotations actually mean? That's something we need to figure out as a community. But here is an early idea: People could add some agreed upon meta-annotation that points to something which *describes* the annotation or annotations that person is using. Think something sort of like XML DTD, though not necessarily machine readable. This meta annotation could point to a URL that simply has an HTML document that gives a description with some examples of the various annotations you're experimenting with or standardizing on. Interesting. So I could add metadata to the tweet so that my foo namespace isn't interpreted the same as other's foo namespaces? If so, then I would want the ability to select this metadata in a search - if I have to manually code something to recognize namespace foo for metadata http://www.cheek.com/my_twitter_rules_are_here.html then I don't want results for everyone else's namespace foo that my app won't recognize. Make sense? so then namespace com.cheek.foo becomes namespace foo with metadata cheek.com/blahblah . ok, i can do that. -- Subscription settings: http://groups.google.com/group/twitter-development-talk/subscribe?hl=en
