[twitter-dev] Re: Trends-API not working
Hi again,
of course the link worked on the given day, as it was the current day.
But how about if I'd like to get the trends of June 14th today? A few
months ago this was possible by using the url posted above. Now I only
get an empty JSON-object like {as_of:Thu, 22 Jul 2010 07:38:32
+,trends:[]}. I have a app depending on this API, but without
data it's more or less useless.
Kind regards,
Dennis

Hi,
I got a problem using the Twitter-API, especially the Trends-Data.
When calling the
URLhttp://search.twitter.com/trends/daily.json?date=2010-03-05
(or another date), i just get an empty JSON-object back. If I use the
new URLhttp://api.twitter.com/1/trends/daily.json?date=2010-03-05I
always get a 404 - Not Found Exception. Some dates return a non-empty
JSON-string, but most of them do.
The last time I used the API everything works fine, but after not
looking for it for a few weeks, I ran into this trouble.
Does anyone have these troubles, too?- Zitierten Text ausblenden -

Re: [twitter-dev] Country based search
Hello Rachit, Maybe you will be interested in looking at our Semiocast API. It provides methods to filter tweets by location (and language) among other things. Please have a look at the section Filter Twitter status updates -- Example: filtering by language and location located at the URL: http://developer.semiocast.com/tutorial/twitter More information is available on the website of Semiocast API http://developer.semiocast.com/ Semiocast API also provides some method for short raw text and Facebook messages processing. It is recommend to start reading the tutorial first. Don't hesitate to contact us if you need more information or help.

[twitter-dev] Need a confirmation - no way to count number of tweets found when searching for a keyword?
I need to a confirm that this is not possible - get search count for TOTAL tweets found when searching for a keyword. Let's say i search for nokia in all tweets. There maybe 1345 tweets results, let's say. Crrently you can only get max 100 tweets in one page of search results. Does that mean the only way i can figure out the total search results is by querying stupidly like following http://search.twitter.com/search.atom?q=nokiarpp=100page=1 http://search.twitter.com/search.atom?q=nokiarpp=100page=13 http://search.twitter.com/search.atom?q=nokiarpp=100page=14 (no results) Then only i know the number of results available?

[twitter-dev] Bug: friends/ids returning invalid user IDs
I've encountered an issue with the friends/ids where the IDs returned can contain IDs of non-existent users. One example of this can be found when getting the friends of the user id = 16067667 (http:// api.twitter.com/1/friends/ids.xml?id=16067667). Within the IDs returned, there is a value = 28745723, which can not be found when using users/show (http://api.twitter.com/1/users/show.xml? id=28745723).

[twitter-dev] Pagination limit on home timeline
It appears home_timeline pagination is currently limited to something like 800 tweets. I appreciate there are recent stability issues compelling this very low limit but in general having an absolute limit on number of messages I can get from my home_timeline is VERY problematic for a social network provider. I actually want to see my whole home timeline and not miss messages from at least some people I'm following. How do I do this when there is a hard cap pagination limit on home timeline? For example if I shut off my computer overnight for 8-10 hours when I bring up my client in the morning I'm currently lucky to get the last two hours of tweets. I'm following about a thousand people so the current cap is less than 1 tweet per followee. The only certain solution to get my whole timeline is to leave a computer and a client running 24/7 which is both wasting electricity and is actually causing more load on twitter.com than if I shut off the client all night and get my timeline once in the morning, instead of polling it all night. Did you ever think by limiting home_timeline you might be causing large numbers of users to run their clients 24/7 actually making your load worse? I would be overjoyed to use skip_user to reduce the load on your servers for home timeline queries if you will take off the pagination limit if I do so, so I can actually get all tweets for a timeline since the previous evening. I'd also be willing to live with a time limit saying, for example, that I can only get tweets for the previous 12 or 24 hours so I know I have to run a client in that time frame to not lose chunks of my timeline. P.S. The docs on this pagination limit are a mess. The new docs in home timeline refer you to the FAQ on what the pagination limit but I don't think the new docs have a FAQ on the pagination limit and there is no link to such a FAQ if it exists. The only FAQ is in the old Twitter API wiki and it still lists the cap as something like 3200 which it currently isn't. From another thread in this group it appears some of Twitter's own engineers don't know what this limit is at the moment.
[twitter-dev] Twitter oAuth for PHP, some advice needed
Hi Everyone. I've been puzzling over OAuth for some time now with little insight into how to apply it to my situation. If someone could nudge me in the right direction I'd be most grateful. What I am doing now is very simple. Whenever my company publishes new content to it's websites, the company Twitter account is updated to reflect it. This is not an application that is open to public use. It doesn't require any browser-based login boxes or http redirects as part of the process. In fact, such a requirement would prevent the function of my current routine. EXAMPLE: (synopsis) require classes/Twitter.class.php; $PMTtweet = new Twitter($twitterunamePMT, $twitterpwordPMT); $PMTsuccess = $PMTtweet-update($thisTweet); My questions are: 1. Do I need to upgrade to OAuth? 2. If I need to upgrade to OAuth, can it be done in such a way as to work without browser login and redirect requirements? (as per example) 3. If 2 is true, any tutorials that match that situation you can point me to? 4. If 1 2, where/how would I acquire the tokens necessary to use OAuth? Apologies for the basic questions. I really did make an effort to ferret out the answers but all the examples I encountered were much more complex than my situation requires. Thanks Paul G

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Twitter oAuth for PHP, some advice needed
Hi Paul G,
In addition to Paul's great recommendations here, there's another
shortcut you can use to more quickly implement the portions of OAuth
you need to continue functioning. We offer the ability to simply get
the access token for the user who owns your application, directly
through an interface on dev.twitter.com -- when viewing your
application detail page, you can select the link on the right-hand
sidebar called My Token and then use those values, hardcoded, in
your application. There's some implementation examples of this at
http://bit.ly/1token

Hi Paul,
1. Do I need to upgrade to OAuth?
Twitter are killing off basic authentication on 16th August, so you'll
need to upgrade.
2. If I need to upgrade to OAuth, can it be done in such a way as to
work without browser login and redirect requirements? (as per example)
The Twitter OAuth tokens don't currently expire so you could do the
auth once then store the tokens for later non-interactive use.
3. If 2 is true, any tutorials that match that situation you can point
me to?
Don't know if you're tied to a current library but
http://github.com/jmathai/twitter-async
does a good job of OAuth.
Rough process:
One off:
1) Login to your company Twitter account.
2) Settings - Connections - Click the link under Developers at
bottom right. Takes you to: http://twitter.com/apps
3) Register your app. You can get away with 127.0.0.1 as the callback
URL if you're running a local webserver, but it's not so important if
you're just doing this as a one off as you can specify callback URL at
request time.
You'll probably want:
Type: Browser
Access Type: Read Write
Use Twitter for login: No
This will get you your consumer key secret.
4) Assuming use of twitter-async, here's some scrappy code that'll get
you your tokens:
?php
require_once twitter-async/EpiCurl.php;
require_once twitter-async/EpiOAuth.php;
require_once twitter-async/EpiTwitter.php;
define( CONSUMER_KEY, X );
define( CONSUMER_SECRET, X );
$twitter = new EpiTwitter( CONSUMER_KEY, CONSUMER_SECRET );
if( isset( $_GET[oauth_token] ) )
{
try
{
$twitter-setToken( $_GET[oauth_token] );
$token = $twitter-
getAccessToken( array( oauth_verifier =
$_GET[oauth_verifier] ) );
var_dump( $token-oauth_token, $token-
oauth_token_secret );
}
catch( Exception $e )
{
var_dump( get_class( $e ) );
}
}
else
header( Location: . $twitter-getAuthorizeUrl( null,
array( oauth_callback = http://127.0.0.1/
path_to_this_script.php ) ) );
?
Obviously change the callback URL to point to wherever you host this
script, and fill in your consumer key/secret.
After you've authed the account, twitter will bring you back and the
script will spit out your oauth_token and oauth_secret.
So from now on if you want to tweet, you simply:
$twitter = new EpiTwitter( CONSUMER_KEY, CONSUMER_SECRET, OAUTH_TOKEN,
OAUTH_TOKEN_SECRET );
$twitter-post_statusesUpdate( array( status = Something exciting
happened! ) );
There's probably an easier way to get the tokens, but this worked well
for me.
Hope this helps,

[twitter-dev] Re: Bug: friends/ids returning invalid user IDs
It's not only suspended users, but also users that are no longer found. Why does Twitter return ids of users that no longer exist?

[twitter-dev] Access user followers without Oauth?
Hello, I'm working on a project where I just need to accumulate information from users. Particularly the number of followers. I can do this just fine with cURL and providing a username and password for authentication. The key is that the script can run without any interaction from a human being. The script will run every night at midnight to gather that one stat from all of my clients customers. I don't fully understand oAuth but it kind of sounds like I will have to have a user interaction to allow permission to the system. Is this the case. After August 16 will there still be a way to directly access and gather data? Thank you for your help!
Re: [twitter-dev] Twitter oAuth for PHP, some advice needed
one quick followup on this, if I may... The Twitter account I registered the app with provided consumer keys / secrets and I used those keys with the client's access tokens to successfully get and post to the account using OAuth. Great. Many thanks to those who pointed me in the right direction. I actually have two separate Twitter accounts to do status updates for depending on the content I have. Sometimes in immediate succession. Is there a way to retrieve the consumer keys for the other Twitter account I own without registering an app? Thank you Paul G

Hi Paul, Is there a way to retrieve the consumer keys for the other Twitter account I own without registering an app? Yep, if you use that script given previously, just login to the other Twitter account instead (with the same consumer key/secret. This will give you a different pair of tokens for the second account. Initialise as in tweeting example with the new token. Basically what you're doing is authorising the same app for both accounts. - Paul
[twitter-dev] Re: Problems Loading Profile Images
So it looks like the problem is back, and perhaps time sensitive. Servers affected are a0, a1, and a3.twing.com. Problem is no response from server. URLs all look ok, but a few perhaps very long (i.e. http://a3.twimg.com/profile_images/598514017/l_58bce087ff00416383ca2b5595036c90_normal.jpg).

[twitter-dev] Hashtag Entity locations seems to be off in certain cases
Hi, Pasted below is a sample status element I received while querying home_timeline. While the entites are being detected, the hashtag locations are incorrect. It seems to be detecting Quora as the first hashtag (ignoring 194), but the location it returns seems to be of 194. And this seems to go on for the next hashtag.

Hi Taylor, Can you explain more? How this is different than OAuth complete dance? http://dev.twitter.com/pages/oauth_single_token How do I use this single token hardcode method in mobile? iPhone objective-c OAuth lib, Android java OAuth lib?

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Twitter oAuth for PHP, some advice needed
Paul,
If you are referring to the twitter-async example you posted, I have
installed that and I'm working with it now.
I assume the first time through it's meant to take a detour through a
Twitter authorization, then back to the same script in which
oauth_token and secret is set... and dumped...
Looks like I'm not getting a proper authorize URL, and in fact the
script dies at that call. No output. Maybe someone can eyeball
what's going wrong.
Here's what the stack trace says, followed by the script
(the names and places have been changed to protect the innocent)
