[twitter-dev] Error trying to access
Someone called Taylor previously said that there would be maintenance of twitter servers, and some user would not be able to use twitter for about 5 hours. However I have been trying to use twitter for about 21 hours and I receive http 500 error. Also, with my twitter app for my cellphone, I can see DM and @, but I cant see twitts from the people I follow. I have tried to access with my web browser and I get technically something is wrong. When I would be able to use twitter again?

[twitter-dev] Re: Open-source, distributed PHP app and consumer secret
So, I think the solution has to be that the user downloads my app, installs it on their site, then registers my app as their own app with dev.twitter. After which, they will receive their own key secret pair. They will then input their key secret pair into my app which is living on their site, stored in some configuration file or database settings table. This way I don't distribute my secret. They will have to store their own key secret pair, but this wouldn't be different than a site with its own proprietary solution. The only stick point is that I will not get any branding rights on their posts/tweets, as they will have registered the app as their own and will be in control of the post branding. The other option is to host a tweet service somewhere in the cloud. My app, installed on their site, would point to the service and they would have to grant permission to the service to make the tweets to their accounts. I like this second solution because it seems cleaner for the end user to set up and get running. However, this would mean that I would then be responsible for maintaining a service. And frankly, that sounds like a drag on resources. These two are the best solutions I can figure given the circumstances. Normally, I would wait for Twitter to get this sorted, however, I don't want to risk disappointing my user base when the August 16th deadline rolls around. Does these solutions sound viable or am I all wet? Pros, cons, alternatives? Thx.

[twitter-dev] Re: Open Source CMS Module and Consumer Secret
Sorry for the confusion. I mean web application developers. There are
quit a number of open-source web apps for twitter. Besides standalone
apps, there are also, add-ons for all the various CMS solutions out
there, written in PHP, Perl, etc.

The Twitter piece of Social Media Analytics Research Toolkit is at the
moment read only, and as I noted earlier the main reason I even looked
at oAuth was to get the 1500 (read) API calls per hour. Given the
small number of users I have at the moment, it wouldn't be all that
difficult to upgrade them to oAuth and 350 calls per hour one at a
time by hand - all that would be required is to license that piece of
code separately. ;-)

Quoting Michael Babcock mjet...@gmail.com:
Correct me if I am wrong, but doesn't Twitter risk loosing a large
percentage of their third party open-source developers, by not having
a solid solution for the required OAuth security changes in time for
the deadline?
I can only guess, but, I would think that the open-source segment
would count for quite a large number of independent developers, all
eager to build for and promote the Twitter vision.

Hi Folks,
There are a few hold ups to rolling this out more widely, the most pressing
being that we are currently unable to serve SSL content on

why this would be a bad idea. Yet all of the documentation/examples I
have found require that the consumer secret be hard-coded into the

The closes thing I have found, that doesn't require the consumer
secret embedded in the source, is a description of how it might work,

But, I cannot find any docs/examples where this scenario has actually
been implemented.
It does exist. While I can't speak for Twitter and whatever
internal issues
are slowing up its rollout, TTYtter has been a test bed for the key

for some time now. Most of the users have found the process painless. You
can
see how a sample workflow works in the documentation, or try it yourself.
The

[twitter-dev] Can i hav an Auto Response to Tweets via API.

[twitter-dev] Suggestion: Search for [hashtag] but exclude people following [username] from the results
Hi, I've been searching for the below functionality in Twitter's search API: Search for [hashtag] but exclude people following [username] from the results Currently it doesn't seem possible from what I can tell, but I would be very grateful if you do know of a way to achieve this and can share it with me here. If it can't be done currently, I would like to put it forward as a suggestion to the Twitter development team. I feel it would be a powerful tool for avoiding hastag wars. Example (made up): @TwitterHotCakes and @TodaysHandyCalculation have together resolved to use different hastags, and they attempt to educate their followers about the appropriate hashtag to use (#TwitHotC or #HandyCalc). However, human behavior being what it is, a proportion of each group's followers persist in using #THC in their tweets without thinking. This suggestion enables the smart searcher, using the advanced search options, to search for #TSW (desiring tweets about #TwitterHotCakes), but specify that they don't want to see tweets from people who follow @TodaysHandyCalculation. Thereby reducing the chance they will be exposed to off topic tweets. There may of course be some small crossover, with people who follow both tweeters being excluded from the results. I feel that this is the lesser of two evils however, because it punishes the person using the wrong hashtag, rather than the searcher who would otherwise have to wade through twice as many tweets for content. Thoughts?

Thanks Tom ! So that is what I thought - but I still can't upload the photo's. I've been trying mainly with twitPic and getting 401.

The next day, the name of this place (in my saved searches) had mysteriously changed to 's-Gravenhage, Zuid-Holland. Clicking on the link, there are no tweets from this place. And - perhaps because there were no results - there is no link to remove the saved search.

I've since found the bug submission page, but I'll just follow up here and then post a bug. I implemented the saved search api methods - so now it's a developer question suitable for this list! I was able to create saved searches for text queries and for places (e.g. place:55da0f3350b51881) I was able to add more than 10 saved searches to an account through the API - using Twitter.com, there's a limit of 10. For saved_searches/destroy.xml, according to the documentation, supported request methods are POST and DELETE, but I got the following response: ?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8? hash request/1/saved_searches/destroy.xml/request errorThis method requires a GET./error /hash So that's bizarre. Result of using destroy.xml with GET for any saved search id was always errorNot found/error. Finally, I created a saved search for a query that returns no results: djsalkofsj. On Twitter.com the result is No real-time results for djsalkofsj and there is no Remove this saved search link. You can't actually save such a search via Twitter.com, but if a user creates an erroneous saved search through an app, or one that dies after a while, there is no way to delete it through Twitter.com.
[twitter-dev] Re: Uploading photo w\ OAuth echo
The oAuth echo header is usable for any service around, because it does not need anything specific to the service you use. Forget about twitpic and any service you want to use at first, because that's the second step. First, start by creating the authorization header for the verify_credentials.json page. If you want to check whether the request actually works, just make the actual request to the verify_credentials.json page - it shouldn't give a 401 error. If you have got the proper Authorization header, then go to step 2: don't make the request to twitter, but send *exactly the same* header to TwitPic - just not as an Authorization header but as the oAuth header they want. What TwitPic does with this header is simply: instead of you making the request to Twitter, they do it. Because you have signed the request with the information you need, TwitPic can simply execute the request. If you send a wrong header, then TwitPic will *get* the 401 error and simply return it to you.
