[twitter-dev] Javascript API Help
I'm building a Google Wave Gadget (which is very similar to iGoogle

I want to update to Twitter my Twitter Status and then get Replies to
that and process it.
I am writing the Gadget in Javascript.
API documentation Gives URL and Parameters
I tried the JS libraries but they work on platforms: AIR,WebOS (not in
browser like i want)
What i'd love to hav is a Step by Step procedure how to update status
using Javascript.
eg.
1)Create an Object 'Twitter t={}'.
2)Assign parameters 't.status = msg'
3)How to Call Post method
4)Done
Any help will b appreciated. Thnx

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Send Cyrillic character (OAuth)
Hi Z-13, It's a Ruby on Rails application, though it doesn't require too much familiarity with Ruby on Rails to get up and running with it. On a Mac or Linux environment, it should be as easy as git cloning the repository ( http://learn.github.com/p/intro.html ) then trying to start the server from within the directory that unpacks with script/server -- if that command succeeds, you then point your web browser to http://localhost:3000 If it doesn't succeed, then you may need to install some dependencies. Sqlite3 is required along with Ruby 1.8.6 and Rubygems. Almost all other dependencies should be included with the archive, though if you install rails with Rubygems it will ensure that you have any missing dependencies.

Hi Seshu, The Search API doesn't use authentication right now.

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Tweeting from PHP backed will also require OAuth in the upcoming changes?
Hi Eric, The oauth_single_token isn't really a feature -- it's just a demonstration of how you would go about it if that was your use case. The usage of a stored access token is the same in most implementations, whether you got that single access token through the feature on dev.twitter.com or you got the access token by performing the OAuth token negotiation dance -- with most OAuth libraries, you still instantiate an access token object the same way -- you might be pulling the token from a database in context to a user using your application instead of having it hard coded. For those that do have a single-user use-case, usually people who've written an application mainly for their own research purposes, it's a quick and easy way to skip over the hardest part of implementing OAuth and instead skip right to the part where you're making resource requests. But the pattern is the same regardless of how you got the access tokens. Some libraries might obfuscate or simplify the process, but under the hood they are doing very similar operations.

Re: [twitter-dev] How can I know why my app fails OAuth?
Hi, We're readying a revision of our OAuth implementation that will give more feedback on what went wrong -- including showing the signature base string generated on our side when there's a signature mis-match. The best thing you can do to solve your OAuth woes is to forget about actually making HTTP calls to twitter.com for a bit. The documentation at http://dev.twitter.com/pages/auth includes detailed signature base strings, signatures, and parameters -- including consumer keys and secrets -- that give you everything you need to make a matching implementation without even issuing a single HTTP request. Use those examples as golden examples -- take the inputs like oauth_nonce, oauth_timestamp, the resource, the method, the consumer key, the consumer secret, etc. and try to recreate the signatures exactly as they are calculated in the documentation. I wouldn't recommend moving on to using real, live timestamp and nonce values (and your own keys) until you can reliably reproduce all of the signatures in that documentation. Once you're able to repeat the signatures verbatim, you can have confidence that your OAuth signature generation steps are kosher and then move on to actually trying real calls.

Re: [twitter-dev] what's wrong with my xAuth code ???
Hi Mostafa,
What environment are you trying to execute this code in? Javascript in most
use cases is not an appropriate vehicle for performing OAuth operations --
unless you are the web browser or another kind of application development
environment in which Javascript is a bit more secure.
That said, I helped a developer through a Javascript OAuth implementation
last week and after much bashing of the head against the desk, it was found
that the HMAC_SHA1 algorithm being used was not doing the right thing and
using the wrong kind of padding.
Are you able to reproduce the signatures (given exactly the same inputs) as
detailed on http://dev.twitter.com/pages/auth ?
Have you traced the request to ensure that your authorization header is
actually being sent properly? How are you avoiding cross-domain issues?

Re: [twitter-dev] How would I get remaing hits using OAuth.
Look at your request
/account/rate_limit_statusaccount/verify_credentials.json.
Notice how rate_limit_status and verify_credentials are both jammed
together.
It also looks like you are using an older version of TwitterOAuth. The
newest version uses https://api.twitter.com/1/ as the host which gives you a
rate limit of 350/hour instead of 150/hour.
To get the rate_limit_status in the newest version call
$connection-get('account/rate_limit_status');

I completely get how it works for user interaction, but what I fail to find anywhere is how it works with automated backend tools. Our web app doesn't interact with a user at all - we go do an aggregation into our own database and then present the data to users from there. What I don't get is how our application running on a CRON with PHP would ever get OAuth credentials to do it's data mining job. Help?!?!

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Send Cyrillic character (OAuth)
How does it relate? You are trying to get your AIR/Actionscript code to generate proper OAuth signatures that Twitter will understand. Instead of just writing code and trying against Twitter to see if it works, you can instead speed up the process by starting with a vector that is known to produce valid signatures -- which the oauth-dancer does, with the added benefit of heaps of debugging information. In this way, you would use the OAuth Dancer to attempt to make a resource request or perform a step of the OAuth Dance, after entering in your credentials. You will then see how every parameter got used in the request, the signature base string generated, and the signatures and authorization headers yielded by that process. Then you do a bit of behavior-driven or test-driven development in your AIR/Actionscript code, using exactly the same parameters that produced a valid signature in the oauth-dancer, and keep iterating until you can generate exactly the same signature base strings and signatures. Then you'll move on to actually attempting to make calls against Twitter. It's one tool, among many, that can help you create a golden example to work towards, giving you a clearer path to knowing when your own code is doing the right thing.

[twitter-dev] double escaping issue
The twitter RSS feed for searches is double encoding special characters For example: http://search.twitter.com/search.atom?q=+from%3AFSidorenko The tweet says “Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg…” Twitter should be escaping the apostrophe like this: “Facebookapos;s Mark Zuckerberg” But they are double-escaping the apostrophe, like this: “Facebookamp;apos;s Mark Zuckerberg”. They escape it once correctly like above – but then escape it again – turning the into an amp;. Anyone know who to contact about this issue? Actually - viewing the search results on the twitter's web site shows the same issue: http://search.twitter.com/search?ands=from=FSidorenkolang=all

Re: [twitter-dev] Current TwitterOAuth API won't display authorization page
It is because you are using the faster Sign in With Twitter endpoint where if a user has already authorized your application they will automatically redirect back to your site.

[twitter-dev] Re: Send Cyrillic character (OAuth)
Hi Z-13,
Short Answer: This looks like a bug in Tweetr [5].
Long Answer: I'm not familiar with Tweetr, and my Action Script is a
bit rusty, but I took a look at the source of the updateStatus method
[1]. It looks like the code calls strEscape [2] (also defined in that
file [3]), which takes care of some common problems. What it does not
do is encode the string as UTF-8. It looks like some special handling
is needed in Action Script [4]. There is already a bug opened again
Tweetr for this [5].
Thanks;

[twitter-dev] OAuth login without PIN but with callback on cesktop.

It is the client Twittia http://wiki.github.com/jeena/Twittia/ I wrote to the a...@twitter.com and talked about it with them and they finally send me here for help. They say that they have set the custom URI-Scheme to: twittia://oauth_token/ The problem is I never get back anything like twittia://oauth_token/ when I look at the website which redirects the user I see: meta http-equiv=refresh content=0;url=twittia:///? oauth_token=DEZzXy9JBF5YtUdoUdQCPhHtVHiWHUUj6uaDBMLOE no sign of a oauth_verifier like it says in the documentatiuon.

[twitter-dev] Re: Slow response to twitter updates for a third party app
Hi John and Ryan, Thanks for looking into this. The good news is that now I am seeing faster responses for my website. I did not change anything on my end, but maybe you guys did, or the traffic was more well-behaved :) In any case, here are my impressions of using the twitter APIs. Use case: Posting updates to Twitter using oAuth API for the case when the consumer app already has the access token. Weekdays mornings (Pacific Time) are generally slower than evenings or weekends.

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Slow response to twitter updates for a third party app
Now that we have a reasonable idea about what is transpiring, I'd venture to say that the latency distribution will be widest between about 6:30am to 10:30am PDT (13:30-17:30 UTC), and considerably less so until perhaps 5pm PDT. The balance of the day should be OK. -John Kalucki http://twitter.com/jkalucki Infrastructure, Twitter Inc.

I did not change anything on my end, but maybe you guys did, or the traffic was more well-behaved :) In any case, here are my impressions of using the twitter APIs. Use case: Posting updates to Twitter using oAuth API for the case when the consumer app already has the access token. Weekdays mornings (Pacific Time) are generally slower than evenings or weekends.

[twitter-dev] can't post same message more than 1 time Getting error: The remote server returned an error: (403) Forbidden.
Scenario like : i want post same message twice in a same account, if i Try to send same message twice by using API.. getting error Like below : The remote server returned an error: (403) Forbidden. its right behavior or Bug?
