[twitter-dev] Got rejected from becoming API whitelist
Hello guys, My company just got rejected from being API whitelist, and I don't exactly know why. The rejection email said I can refer to http://dev.twitter.com/pages/api_faq#under_limit about the rejection. My guess is that my subordinate put small amount of call number in the application. He has put Direct Message Methods-1,000 call per hour and List Members Methods- 300 call per hour. But our call would be a lot more than this considering UV and PV. So, 1. Is the small call number a problem? 2. I just need to re submit the application with higher number? Thank you in advance.
[twitter-dev] Question question of cursor-enabled GET's and API limits ...
Hi Twitter devs, So does each chunk of a cursor-enabled GET you make count as an API call from your account? And if yes (I'd imagine so), and you may well need to make more successive API calls in an hour than are allotted, does the cursor offset allow you to start where you left off once your API limit rolls over again? Thanks! /John
[twitter-dev] Rate Limit Decrement
I have some questions regarding the message on http://countdowntooauth.com/ ...starting on August 16th, the rate limits on basic authentication will be reduced by roughly 10 calls/hour/day ending on August 31st. Does this mean each user can login/post 150 times per hour on 8/16 and then 140 times per hour on 8/15? or does the rate limit decrease each hour, starting at 12:00 AM on 8/16 with the rate being 0 per hour at 3:00 PM, starting over on 8/17 at 12:00 AM. I appreciate any help w/ regard to this!

Thanks, one of my colleagues, who is more ajax-savvy than me, suggested similar just a few minutes ago. I appreciate your advice. We will do this, but I probably not top priority.

[twitter-dev] Re: Find all mentions
Hey Sachin - We just released an API call that tells some of the data you're looking for: http://api.infochimps.com/describe/soc/net/tw/influence These are all actionable metrics, no raw data for # of mentions or RTs. It spans a user's entire Twitter timeline. To gather the stats, we've scraping all of Twitter since 2006. Let me know if that helps you at all. Thanks, Jesse Infochimps API Rancher On Jul 20, 10:15 am, Sachin sachinmo...@gmail.com wrote: Using the GET statuses/mentions request I can return all the @mentions and RT's for the authenticating user. The API documentation says that no authentication is required, but since there is no user ID parameter I can see that it does in fact require authentication (reading the forums have confirmed this I think). Does anyone know of a way to get the # of mentions and RTs for a user ID within a timeframe (i.e. last 30 days)? Using the Search API I can get some results in json... but it seems to be only returning the last 8 or so mentions. Does anyone know how applications like Klout are getting these stats? (http://klout.com/uschles/scoreshows 267 mentions and 63 retweets). I'm sure they are still only accurate within a certain timeframe but I'm curious as to how they're getting these stats at all without authentication from the user. Any help would be much appreciated.

[twitter-dev] Re: Using the Authorization header
Hi Tom/Jacky, Thanks for replying. I've seen a couple of places (The Hueniverse page above being one of them) where the realm is included in the Authorization header. I notice that this isn't the case for Twitter though so I'll remove it. (Tried this, first time, it gave a new error 'Could not authorize you using OAuth' I think, but then it went back to throwing 500 errors and serving up the error page) Regarding the timestamps, I'm just going off the OAuth spec http://oauth.net/core/1.0/ says on this. I've been making requests more than 1 second apart at the moment, so the timestamps fullfil the need to be greater or equal to the previous one.

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Using the Authorization header
Hi Everyone on this thread, A few clarifications: - The realm isn't required, but we'll take a realm if you provide one. Really, it's a no-op in our system. We don't care if you have it or not, and if you provide it, we don't do anything with it. - Timestamp is important in that the oauth_timestamp in your requests should be within about 5 minutes of our servers. We return the current time in a header within each response, failed or otherwise. One quick way to get a non-rate-limited check on the current time according to twitter is to send a HEAD request to /1/help/test.xml and inspect the Date header, recontextualizing your app's concept of the current time based on that. Back to the original poster's issue, I noticed you're essentially trying to post this status: Test 1 2 3 4 1280937572396 But your POST body shows this status over-encoded: status=Test%25201%25202%25203%25204%25201280937572396 When it should be: status=Test%201%202%203%204%201280937572396 The encoding in your POST body is correct as to what should be in your signature base string. This might be what is causing your invalid signature errors. Taylor On Thu, Aug 5, 2010 at 5:10 AM, Ben Jones benjamin.david.jo...@gmail.comwrote: Hi Tom/Jacky, Thanks for responding!

Re: [twitter-dev] GAE Twitter API Access
Hi there, The library you're trying to use only uses basic authentication which is about to completely go away. While there are many reasons your integration could not be working, the most likely is that you're being rate limited before you even make your first API call. If you use OAuth for authentication, you'll have much more fidelity for making API calls as the shared IP address won't be the single gating factor any more. Can you describe a bit more about what your intentions are and in what way your calls are failing?

No, you will most likely need to change your application. I have no idea what kind of application you are using. If you want to send 1000 Direct Messages per hour, then you may want to reconsider your application - Twitter will not allow sending this many Direct Messages.

Most POST requests are not rate limited, but have certain kinds of business logic limits that change from time to time. You may be running into the maximum tweets your account can send per day (a site-wide limitation) or it's possible you're trying to send the same tweet more than once in a short period. If you provide more details about the exact error message you received we can help you further.

[twitter-dev] Twitter Search API Problems
Hi all I have problems with twitter api. I made an application (PHP) that use twitter api (http://search.twitter.com/search.atom?q=) and I use cURL to comunicate both. Until yesterday all worked fine but today all goes bad, twitter api do not reponse through cURL (php) but twitter api works fine by the browser. so, do you have some limits of request to twitter api by rss or what ?

[twitter-dev] Re: How to retreive all tweets in time range in .net
I need to retreive all the tweets in a time range (say for last seven days), irrespective of the user who made them. That's going to be a LOT of tweets. Our site http://stltweets.com follows just St. Louis located people, mentions and 1500+ curated users. We get 6 unique tweets every day... and that's a tiny little slice of all tweets... Also,I want to store them in database so that I can use them later.How can I do this in .net . There are many strategies... and several libraries. I personally use the LinqToTwitter library from CodePlex to do the Twitter side of things, and use a SQL Server 2008 database via simple DataReader stuff. The thing is,there is no way you can do this with the firehose (which is the only way you will get all tweets), because no database is going to commit that fast. I don't have any issues keeping up with my stream, but you're talking about a ton more data. In any case, it can be done quite easily in .Net... start with http://linqtotwitter.codeplex.com and a simple schema to capture the data. You'll have to figure out how you are going to use the data to properly design a schema, but for simple use something like this: SET ANSI_NULLS ON SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON GO CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Tweep]( [UserID] [bigint] NOT NULL, [ScreenName] [nvarchar](20) NOT NULL, [Name] [nvarchar](30) NOT NULL, [Location] [nvarchar](30) NOT NULL, [Description] [nvarchar](160) NOT NULL, [ProfileImageUrl] [nvarchar](max) NOT NULL, [HomepageUrl] [nvarchar](max) NOT NULL, [Followers] [int] NOT NULL, [Following] [int] NOT NULL, [Listed] [int] NOT NULL, [Tweets] [bigint] NOT NULL, [Freshness] [datetime] NOT NULL, [Verified] [bit] NOT NULL, CONSTRAINT [PK_Tweep] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED ( [UserID] ASC ) GO CREATE UNIQUE NONCLUSTERED INDEX [IX_Tweep_ScreenName] ON [dbo]. [Tweep] ( [ScreenName] ASC ) GO CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Tweet]( [TweetID] [bigint] NOT NULL, [TweepUserID] [bigint] NOT NULL, [CreatedTime] [datetime] NOT NULL, [Message] [nvarchar](max) NOT NULL, [Source] [nchar](100) NOT NULL, CONSTRAINT [PK_Tweet] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED ( [TweetID] ASC ) GO ALTER TABLE [dbo].[Tweet] WITH CHECK ADD CONSTRAINT [FK_Tweet_Tweep] FOREIGN KEY([TweepUserID]) REFERENCES [dbo].[Tweep] ([UserID]) GO ALTER TABLE [dbo].[Tweet] CHECK CONSTRAINT [FK_Tweet_Tweep] GO Hope this gets you started...

Re: [twitter-dev] Got rejected from becoming API whitelist
It's more likely you are trying to build an application that violates Twitter TOS (like hey, I'll help you get hundreds of followers), or that your Service will enable a Spammy behavior by users. I doubt it has anything to do with the technical aspects. I've got Whitelisted 4 times on 4 different services without any problem. -Marcelo On Wed, Aug 4, 2010 at 4:47 PM, Jeansu Park jeansu.p...@gmail.com wrote: Hello guys, My company just got rejected from being API whitelist, and I don't exactly know why. The rejection email said I can refer to http://dev.twitter.com/pages/api_faq#under_limit about the rejection. My guess is that my subordinate put small amount of call number in the application. He has put Direct Message Methods-1,000 call per hour and List Members Methods- 300 call per hour. But our call would be a lot more than this considering UV and PV. So, 1.

[twitter-dev] Re: In Reply To
Hey gloopymoop, Like the original thread said, you can use the search API to search for tweets to that particular user and check the in_reply_to_status_id field. If you want to track the chain (ie all the replies to @dtran320's reply to @gloopymoop's original tweet), then you have to periodically search each user in the chain. A more efficient way of achieving this would be to use the Track or Follow streaming API methods and add one users as they join the reply chain: http://dev.twitter.com/pages/streaming_api_methods#follow On Aug 3, 6:49 pm, gloopymoop nerdf...@gmail.com wrote: I believe this has been discussed before here, so forgive me if this is redundant. http://groups.google.com/group/twitter-development-talk/browse_thread...

[twitter-dev] Help with an application.
Hi! My name is Victoria and I am making a twitter application that sends tweets to the user´s twitter account according to the actions the user does on the application webpage. For example if the user pushes a botton that says hello, the application sends a tweet that says hello concatenated to a 5 digit random number (to avoid two tweets with the same message which I know Twitter doesn´t take). The problem is the application sends the tweets some of the times but not all of them... For example if the application is suppose to send 5 tweets, only 3 of them gets send, or sometimes 4. I believe it has nothing to do with the variable where I put the tweet message (it´s a session variable concatenated with a string and the random number). I will appreciate your help, thanks, Victoria P.

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: How is this a solution?
Hi Everyone, The key exchange solution will not be ready for the cut off, unfortunately. If you want to distribute an open source application or library, it should either: - consume only public resources not requiring authentication - be distributed without consumer keys and secrets. If your API key has been afforded any kind of privileges, such as xAuth, we ask that you be especially vigilant in not exposing your application secrets in easily accesible ways. I hope the logic in that is self-evident. We know this isn't ideal. This will be easier some day -- we want it to be, open source developers consumers *need* it to be, and the push for a more frictionless user experience across platform products demand it to be so. But we're supporting OAuth 1.0a right now, and for the safety of our users, for the ecosystem, and for you: please don't distribute API tokens and secrets in your open source projects.

[twitter-dev] Re: search.twitter.com/search and api.twitter.com/1/search not returning the same.
Taylor,
Thanks for the reply. Is there any chance of it not being janky for
the next week? Please. I really need time to get my update fix through
the Apple approval process.
Thanks,
Keith

Hi Keef,
At this time, api.twitter.com/1/search doesn't really exist. Except for when
it does. It's an undocumented end point and we'd like everyone to move away
from it. Because it is janky.
Please use search.twitter.com for your search operations for now.

Hi there,
I was under the impression, maybe falsely, that I could make a Twitter
Search request to api.twitter.com/1/search as well as
search.twitter.com, and I've been using the api.twitter.com for a
while now, mainly because I wanted to specify the version to prevent
version changes from breaking my code (which it has in the past).
However I'm now getting the different results from the two endpoints:
From this endpoint:
https://api.twitter.com/1/search.json?q=superbikes
I get as a result:
{statuses:
[40825857259,40827308851,40828019793,40830197255,40831193039,40832571529,40

933327,40836359953,40836960689,40837682441],created_in:
0.008378}
Where as from:
https://search.twitter.com/search.json?q=superbikes
I get a correct response.
Which should I use? And how can I protect myself from major code
changes? Also, I can switch back to search.twitter.com, but I have an
App live in the App Store that was working great and now suddenly
isn't working because of this, and an update will be subject to a week
long delay by Apple. Please, please, please could you make
api.twitter.com/search match search.twitter.com at least for the next
week.
Many thanks,
Keith (@keefmoon)
[twitter-dev] Re: Got rejected from becoming API whitelist
So this is the application sent. Could anyone tell me how I should correct it? Describe your project in detail [Specify the methods you'll be using] OAuth Methods Status Methods Timeline Methods Account Methods User Methods Direct Message Methods List Methods List Members Methods [the functionality of your application] tweet Create reply Create retweet Create Direct Message Create show timeline show profile Compile show Celebrities's tweets [the expected frequency of use] OAuth Methods Status Methods Timeline Methods Account Methods User Methods Direct Message Methods - 1,000 call per hour List Methods List Members Methods - 300 call per hour On Aug 5, 8:47 am, Jeansu Park jeansu.p...@gmail.com wrote: Hello guys, My company just got rejected from being API whitelist, and I don't exactly know why. The rejection email said I can refer tohttp://dev.twitter.com/pages/api_faq#under_limit about the rejection. My guess is that my subordinate put small amount of call number in the application. He has put Direct Message Methods-1,000 call per hour and List Members Methods- 300 call per hour. But our call would be a lot more than this considering UV and PV. So, 1. Is the small call number a problem? 2. I just need to re submit the application with higher number? Thank you in advance.
[twitter-dev] OAuth singing on BlackBerry
I am having a really tough time trying to figure out how to sign my
OAuth request. I am trying to follow the example at
http://dev.twitter.com/pages/xauth
and my signature does not come out the same as it does in the
example...
I am doing
public static void xauth(){
try {
String twitter_url=https://api.twitter.com/oauth/
access_token;
String oauth_consumer_key = sGNxxnqgZRHUt6NunK3uw;
String oauth_consumer_secret =
5kEQypKe7lFHnufLtsocB1vAzO07xLFgp2Pc4sp2vk;
String oauth_nonce =
WLxsobj4rhS2xmCbaAeT4aAkRfx4vSHX4OnYpTE77hA;
String oauth_signature_method = HMAC-SHA1;
String oauth_timestamp = 1276101652;
String oauth_version = 1.0;
String x_auth_mode = client_auth;
String x_auth_password = %123!aZ+()456242134;
String x_auth_username = tpFriendlyGiant;
String postBody = x_auth_mode=+x_auth_mode
+x_auth_password=+encodeUTF8(x_auth_password)+
x_auth_username=+encodeUTF8(x_auth_username);
String baseString = POST+encodeUTF8(twitter_url)+
oauth_consumer_key%3D+oauth_consumer_key +
%26oauth_nonce%3D+oauth_nonce+
%26oauth_signature_method%3D+oauth_signature_method+
%26oauth_timestamp%3D+oauth_timestamp+
%26oauth_version%3D+oauth_version+
%26+encodeUTF8(postBody);
String signingSecret = encodeUTF8(oauth_consumer_secret)
+;
String signature = hmacsha1(signingSecret, baseString);
String header = new StringBuffer(OAuth oauth_nonce=
\).append(oauth_nonce).append(\, oauth_signature_method=\)
.append(oauth_signature_method).append(\,
oauth_timestamp=\).append(oauth_timestamp).append(\,
oauth_consumer_key=\)
.append(oauth_consumer_key).append(\,
oauth_signature=\).append(signature).append(\, oauth_version=\)
.append(oauth_version).append(\).toString();
System.out.println(Header = + header);
} catch (CryptoTokenException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (CryptoUnsupportedOperationException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
private static String hmacsha1(String key, String message) throws
CryptoTokenException,
CryptoUnsupportedOperationException, IOException {
HMACKey k = new HMACKey(key.getBytes());
HMAC hmac = new HMAC(k, new SHA1Digest());
hmac.update(message.getBytes());
byte[] mac = hmac.getMAC();
return Base64OutputStream.encodeAsString(mac, 0, mac.length,
false, false);
}
Everything matches the example, but when they sign they get...
oauth_signature=yUDBrcMMm6ghqBEKCFKVoJPIacU%3D
and I get...
MUYmiobRdoK6s0ZVqo4xQNNO17w=
Can anyone see anything I am doing wrong?
Thanks,

[twitter-dev] Re: What tools do you use?
[Bringing this old stickied thread back up for an announcement... apologies for semi-broken threading.] With basic auth on the way out at Twitter, I've wanted a way to make requests from the command line just as I used to with curl. Rather than implementing an HTTP client in Ruby/Python/whatever, I decided to do this as a shell script wrapping curl: http://github.com/decklin/curlicue It's really just curl under the hood, so you have access to all your favorite command-line options. It should work with any OAuth 1.0a service, not just Twitter. There is of course an initial setup step that requires your consumer key and secret, but if you save your credentials in the correct location after that, you can pretty much just replace curl with curlicue in commands and forget about it. Please direct any bugs/issues/questions to Github. Thanks! (I wrote this a month or so ago, but was holding off on posting here because I was hoping for the open source key exchange process to move forward. Now that that is officially not going to be ready in time[1], I figured I might as well get this out there. For now, you will have to register your own app before you can use it, and make requests as that app.) [1] http://xrl.us/bhva55 Abraham Williams wrote: Lets collect an awesome list of tools and applications we use to help develop with the Twitter API.
