Did you change the XML format today our application which has worked for a year reading XML data all of the sudden does not function today? Was there a format change without notice?

[twitter-dev] Re: problem with statuses/destroy
Hello, Actually I have that working, and I do noticed some strange behavior too. The thing I notice is, when you delete a tweet from your application, and then if you get the tweets (through the API too) the tweet you deleted before will not be there anymore. So, the thing really works. But if you go to the Twitter webpage, the tweet remains there for a while even if you refresh the page. Is like if the Twitter web page is not synchronized with the results from the API. Maybe you are having the same problem...

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Friend and Follower count - since timestamp
Just wanted to add, it's a sad thing etags see hardly any use today. Back when the graph methods weren't paginated, you could just send a request with the etag header set and it would come back not modified, a very efficient thing to do. It won't give you the difference between arbitrary points in time, but for most applications, it's quite enough. I don't think anybody ever confirmed that this even works with paginated calls, but I don't see why it couldn't (especially since pages are apparently newest first, as Raffi said).

[twitter-dev] Re: Home_timeline and retweets
Hello, and thanks for your reply. When I said ridiculous, I don't meant to offend you cause I REALLY appreciate your work. I was just discussing my point of view. Sorry for that. About the retweets: Imagine I get my home_timeline. I will get the 'normal' tweets (posted by me via web, for example), the retweets I did and the tweets (and retweets) done by the ones I'm following. The thing is, how can I identify if a element from the home_timeline is a 'normal' tweet or a retweet done by me? For example, in the retweets done by the people you are following, you have the retweeted_status and with that I know that is a retweet instead of a 'normal' tweet by him/her. But with my own, I dont know. The goal is I want to add the Undo(retweet) in my application. To do the undo I need to know which of those are retweets. You understand my problem? Maybe I'm missing something. If so, I'm being ridiculous :) Thanks a lot, Luis On Jul 6, 7:01 am, Raffi Krikorian ra...@twitter.com wrote: i don't think ridiculous is the right term :P we're constantly evolving the API to match up with what our developers are trying to do! so - that being said - what are you looking for? are you trying to figure out which tweets on the home timeline has the authenticating user retweeted?

On Jul 5, 6:17 pm, Thomas Woolway priv...@tswoolway.co.uk wrote: I don't think that you're doing anything wrong - it's just a quirk of the API - you don't get any info in your home timeline on stuff you retweeted. I think this is because of the condition that you should never see a retweet if you would have seen it already in your timeline. This stops you from seeing the latest popular tweet retweeted 100 times from each of your followers if you follow the person who originally tweeted it. However, I guess it also stops you seeing that you have retweeted a tweet, as theoretically you've already seen it. I think I've made that more complicated than it actually is... The only thing that you can do is to get the Home Timeline and then merge retweets_of_me in over the top. Tom On Mon, Jul 5, 2010 at 4:03 PM, luisg luisfmgoncal...@gmail.com wrote: Can somebody help?

Shan, as far as I know twitter has been reluctant to state definite numbers, so you'll have to experiment and implement a backoff mechanism in your app. Here is the relevant part of the docs: Search API Rate Limiting The Search API is rate limited by IP address. The number of search requests that originate from a given IP address are counted against the search rate limiter. The specific number of requests a client is able to make to the Search API for a given hour is not released. Note that the Search API is not limited by the same 150 requests per hour limit as the REST API. The number is quite a bit higher and we feel it is both liberal and sufficient for most applications. We do not give the exact number because we want to discourage unnecessary search usage. Search API usage requires that applications include a unique and identifying User Agent string. A HTTP Referrer is expected but is not required. Consumers using the Search API but failing to include a User Agent string will receive a lower rate limit. An application that exceeds the rate limitations of the Search API will receive HTTP 420 response codes to requests. It is a best practice to watch for this error condition and honor the Retry-After header that instructs the application when it is safe to continue. The Retry-After header's value is the number of seconds your application should wait before submitting another query (for example: Retry-After: 67).

[twitter-dev] Temporary changes to whitelisting
I wanted to email everyone and give notice that we are going to be holding off on approving any additional whitelist requests until after the World Cup is over. We actually paused this last week, so if you haven't gotten a response, this is why. It will take us a while to get through the backlog after the World Cup, so please be patient and don't reapply as it just makes it more difficult to suss through the requests. Please let me know if you have any questions. Best, Ryan
Re: [twitter-dev] Re: problem with statuses/destroy
It sounds like our internal cache wasn't keeping up with the API. I know there was some work on what happens when a Tweet is deleted recently, specifically around keeping the API and site in sync.

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: XML format change???
hey everyone, I've noticed some of users are not using an HTTP transport method, but instead a file stream to read from the API. If you are using a file stream method, like file_get_contents in PHP you will be getting XML load errors whenever the request you make returns with an error. This is because the file stream method returns false rather than the content of the XML when an error is detected. We strongly recommend using an HTTP transport for talking with the API. This way you can inspect the headers we return to you and also the status code. You also get our hash element with the error text in it: I've compared the XML structure to the ones in the API docs and they are still the same. If you are using a library like curl and are still getting the XML load error could you give us an example of the content you are getting back so we can work out why this might be happening.

Re: [twitter-dev] XML feed not loading as before - PHP
Hey Colin,
You want to make sure you are using CURL to read from the API otherwise you
loose all the header information we return. That being said, in your example
the stack trace error will be thrown if we return an error. This is because
you haven't checked that:
$buffer !== FALSE;
If there is an error your $buffer variable will be false which
SimpleXMLElement cannot open.
You can quickly check this on the command line using:
curl -D -
http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline/britishabroad.xml
(the -D - means include headers in the output)
You may find it easier to interact with the Twitter API through one of our
community written libraries.

Hope that helps,
Matt

Re: [twitter-dev] request token
Hi Shob, We strongly recommend you use a library for handling OAuth with Twitter until you are comfortable with how OAuth works. For VB I know of at least one library called TwitterVB: http://twittervb.codeplex.com/ This will do the OAuth heavy lifting for you so you can develop an application for use with Twitter quickly. If you then want to roll your own solution you could use the TwitterVB library to compare to the results you are getting from your function.

[twitter-dev] Any way to get a REASON for why an account was suspended.
We are building a State of Twitter in St. Louis whitepaper for our local companies/agencies/etc. In doing this, we gathered the list of influential people from our own STLTweets site and are mining for extra information from Twitter, Klout, TrstRank, etc... For a couple high-ranking people we would be listing, we've noticed that they have been suspended in the last week or so (one's last tweet was 2 weeks ago in our mirror, and the other's last tweet was 1 week ago). I checked with the API and they show as suspended, but we can't fathom why based on the tweets WE have archived from them... the profile pictures aren't lewd, the tweets aren't spammy, etc...

[twitter-dev] Twitter service authentication
Hello :) I am building a service for twitter apps to use which has an API thats quite simple. The question I have is that, I need to - from some kind of data the application sends me - get hold of the users twitter account to first, check if its a valid account, second to get their profile pic url and third to get their twitter name. Could anyone suggest to me the *valid* data I need the twitter application (that is already O/XAuth'd with twitter) to send to my API for me to get this information? Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks!
Re: [twitter-dev] Any way to get a REASON for why an account was suspended.
Hi, We don't disclose the reason for accounts being suspended to 3rd parties so there isn't a way to get that information if you don't own the account. If you do own the account you can email from the email address we have on record for it asking for the reason. The reason for accounts being suspended isn't limited to content so you shouldn't guess a reason based on the data available to you. Instead know that accounts can be suspended if they don't follow the Twitter rules: http://help.twitter.com/entries/18311 I'll follow up with some other team members about what you should be doing with suspended account data and get back to you.

[twitter-dev] Getting feed for multiple accounts (how does hootsuite/tweetdeck do it so fast?)
Let's say I have five columns that show the @replies for five different twitter accounts. Since each account has its own authentication with oath, I would need to make 5 API calls to load up these columns. This seems inefficient and also slow. Is there anyway to speed this process up? Hootsuite seems to do this quite fast, do they actually make a request for every column when you load up their client. Do you guys have any suggestions on improving speed for this? Thanks! Alex
