[twitter-dev] Re: New app for every Twitter account?
As Taylor says, you don't need a different app for each account, but actually that's the easy solution, with the added benefit that you never need to do the Oauth dance to capture any tokens. PLUS... each app gets the glory of it's own via tag. Creating an app is no more work than creating a Twitter account. The actual app is of course your same code each time. Just fill in the blanks and grab the tokens using the 'My Access Token link. Then in your publication code just substitute in the keys for that site/account.

I've created a new app using OAuth and PHP to post our news stories automatically as they are published. Previously with basic authentication I would just pass the username and password etc. to get the story posted. But now I'm wondering, do I need to create a new app for every Twitter account we have? Or can I post to our accounts with the one app I created with its keys and tokens? And if I can use just the one app, how do I post to the other accounts? The app was created on our primary Twitter account. Thanks Marc PS I already have the OAuth and PHP code working for our primary Twiter account.
[twitter-dev] python oauth2 and twitter - invalid signature issue
I'm working on bringing the python-twitter library up to date with respect to using oAuth and i'm running into a brick wall... I've scanned the group postings and by far it seems that the most common issue when generating a request is that the order of items in the url param list is not the same as the order of items sent off to be signed *and* that said item list must be sorted. Using the debug key/secret values from the wiki, I generate the following: (debug output from python's urllib2, formatted to wrap so it's readable) GET /1/account/verify_credentials.json? oauth_nonce=26979601 oauth_timestamp=1281612120 oauth_consumer_key=GDdmIQH6jhtmLUypg82g oauth_signature_method=HMAC-SHA1 oauth_version=1.0 oauth_token=819797-Jxq8aYUDRmykzVKrgoLhXSq67TEa5ruc4GJC2rWimw oauth_signature=e82GTcQn9Rjir1QMNw19%2FwTkAYA%3D HTTP/1.1\r\n Accept-Encoding: identity\r\n Host: api.twitter.com\r\n Connection: close\r\n Authorization: OAuth realm=, oauth_nonce=26979601, oauth_timestamp=1281612120, oauth_consumer_key=GDdmIQH6jhtmLUypg82g, oauth_signature_method=HMAC-SHA1, oauth_version=1.0, oauth_token=819797-Jxq8aYUDRmykzVKrgoLhXSq67TEa5ruc4GJC2rWimw, oauth_signature=e82GTcQn9Rjir1QMNw19%2FwTkAYA%3D\r\n\r\n' and this is the raw data being signed: GEThttps%3A%2F%2Fapi.twitter.com%2F1%2Faccount %2Fverify_credentials.jsonoauth_consumer_key%3DGDdmIQH6jhtmLUypg82g %26oauth_nonce%3D26979601%26oauth_signature_method%3DHMAC- SHA1%26oauth_timestamp%3D1281612120%26oauth_token%3D819797- Jxq8aYUDRmykzVKrgoLhXSq67TEa5ruc4GJC2rWimw%26oauth_version%3D1.0 First thing I notice is that the ordering of the oauth_* items is all over the place (i'll be sending a message to the python-oauth2 folks once I figure out where they are hanging out) but even when I correct for that and run it again, I *still* get an Invalid Signature error from Twitter!

[twitter-dev] Re: Can't get the friend list of the logged in user (oAuth)
Thanks Tom.
I have already tried these two. My problem is, I always get the Rate
limit exceeded. Clients may not make more than 150 requests per hour.
error message, even if this is the first time I log in.
I thought it could be possible if the user is logged in using oAuth.
Let's say I want to get the list of profiles followed by @Twitter:
?php
$curl = curl_init();
curl_setopt($curl,CURLOPT_URL,http://api.twitter.com/1/friends/ids/
twitter.xml);
curl_setopt($curl,CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,true);
$contenu = curl_exec($curl);
$xml = new simpleXMLElement($contenu);
print_r($xml);
foreach ($xml-ids-id as $friend) {
echo $friend.br;
}
?
What am I doing wrong?

Hi Rémy,
You are not doing anything wrong. I just tested that code and it works
fine. I'd say: wait an hour, and it will work.
You could (should) check the HTTP headers - they offer you information
about your current rate limit status.
I do get this error, but it is not related to the rate limit :
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in

Also, I think that your nonce is a bit short. While it will not cause issues, you may like to take a longer one - and preferably alphanumeric. Tom

Hi, Multiple things. * You don't have to send the oauth_* parameters in both the query and the Authorization: header. The library i'm using does that - not sure why. I'll explore removing all but oauth_signature in a bit. Sorry if you misunderstood me. You should send all of them only once - either in the Authorization header or in the query. Ah - I did completely get what you were saying wrong. As soon as I removed it from the header everything started to work! amazing what happens when you pay attention ;) * The Base String seems fine, but you should not be using the keys on the wiki - they are random keys and will not work. (!) I used the wiki keys only because another post (oAuth and AppleScript) someone requested that they use those keys so that the signature value could be compared - I did the same. I get Invalid Signature when using keys that I've gotten back from Twitter That was me. Using this base string : GEThttps%3A%2F%2Fapi.twitter.com%2F1%2Faccount%2Fverify_credentials.jsono auth_consumer_key%3DGDdmIQH6jhtmLUypg82g%26oauth_nonce%3D26979601%26oauth_s ignature_method%3DHMAC-SHA1%26oauth_timestamp%3D1281612120%26oauth_token%3D 819797-Jxq8aYUDRmykzVKrgoLhXSq67TEa5ruc4GJC2rWimw%26oauth_version%3D1.0 Key: MCD8BKwGdgPHvAuvgvz4EQpqDAtx89grbuNMRd7Eh98J6zix3FfA9LofH0awS24M3HcBYXO5nI 1iYe8EfBA Signature: e82GTcQn9Rjir1QMNw19/wTkAYA= So that part is fine as well. * The field order in the Authorization: header does not matter.

[twitter-dev] Introducing the Tweet Button
Hey everyone, Today we’re launching the Tweet Button to make it easy for your users to share your website with their followers. When they click on the Tweet Button, a Tweet box will appear pre-populated with a message and link chosen by you. Once they have sent a Tweet they can choose to follow accounts recommended by you. All of this happens on your website, so the user never has to leave. You have complete control over the suggested text of the Tweet Button, who the Tweet should be attributed to and recommendations of who to follow. All of this is possible through a line of javascript and a few URL parameters or data attributes of a link. To add this to your own site grab it from http://twitter.com/tweetbutton, or create your own using our developer documentation, http://dev.twitter.com/pages/tweet_button Read more about the Tweet Button on our blog, http://blog.twitter.com/2010/08/pushing-our-tweet-button.html Best Matt -- Matt Harris Developer Advocate, Twitter http://twitter.com/themattharris

Re: [twitter-dev] Streaming API and lists
Hi Thiago, The streaming API allows you to follow user IDs and track keywords but not lists directly. Instead you need to follow all the user IDs of the list and then assemble their Tweets on your server to recreate the list.

Re: [twitter-dev] Multiple data-related variables in Tweet Button
You can't. You are limited to 1 primary account (which will appear at the end on the tweet as via @account), and you can add 1 alternate account. That's all. TweepML.org provides a way for people to follow multiple accounts at once, but it's not like the Tweet button. People are sent to another website.

Re: [twitter-dev] Multiple data-related variables in Tweet Button
Hey, The related attribute takes a comma separated list of accounts to recommend once the user Tweets but will only display a maximum of two. In the FAQ [1] we explain this is more detail: The Share Box will show two recommended accounts who the logged in user doesn’t already follow. By default the via user is shown first with the first related account shown afterwards. If the logged in user already follows the via user we will instead show the first two related accounts the user doesn’t already follow. There will be no recommended users displayed if the user follows all the suggested (via and related) accounts. Hope that clarifies the current setup.

Re: [twitter-dev] What is the history of Twitter's search history?
Hello Adam, I think I can give you an explanation. Twitter will only search through, for example, 50 million tweets. If this becomes more, then the search becomes slow. For the same reason it will only index interesting tweets.

So, no. Although it depends on the type of application - if it is a server-based application, you can request a raise of these limits. Tom
Re: [twitter-dev] Introducing the Tweet Button
Hi Clint, The Tweet Button will wrap any URL sent to it as a t.co link so although you can use your own shortener we will still create a t.co link for it. We don't unwrap the short URL, so any analytics you have attached to your shortener can still happen. We also return the URL you sent us with our API responses so clients can display your URL whilst linked to t.co first. This is made possible by passing the flag include_entities=1 to any method that returns a status. You can learn more about t.co here: http://support.twitter.com/entries/109623 Hope that helps, Matt On Thu, Aug 12, 2010 at 11:30 AM, Clint Ecker clintec...@gmail.com wrote: On Thu, Aug 12, 2010 at 10:28 AM, themattharris thematthar...@twitter.com wrote: Today we’re launching the Tweet Button to make it easy for your users to share your website with their followers.

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Problems Loading Profile Images
Hey, We're tracking this issue on our bug tracker. In that thread there are a number of examples and solutions that have helped users, as well as an explanation of how the asynchronous processing affects what is happening. Im summary. the reason the old avatar profile image URL is being returned is because we haven't yet processed the uploaded image. This is because images which are uploaded are processed asynchronous instead of during the POST request. What this means is the profile image URL only gets updated when, and if, the image conversion is successful. For developers this means a few things: 1) A 200 OK from an image upload means we received the file, it doesn't mean the profile image was updated successfully. 2) To know if the image upload was successful developers need to either: a) query /1/users/profile_image/:screen_name and cache the URL you are redirected to (more details: http://dev.twitter.com/doc/get/users/profile_image/:screen_name) b) wait until the next time you call /1/account/verify_credentials In both cases if the image URL is different the profile image was successfully updated. 3) If the URL doesn't change the profile image update was unsuccessful. This isn't ideal we know. What I can tell you is we have engineers working on improving this and providing a more reliable way for you to find out if the image was successfully updated or not. Hope that explains the situation more clearly for you.

Re: [twitter-dev] What is the history of Twitter's search history?
To add to this, the exact search index is related to the frequency of Tweets and their relevance. The role of search.twitter.com is to provide a real-time, relevant search of what is being discussed on Twitter now instead of an archival search through the history of Twitter. A good resource to understand what isn't indexed in search is this help article: http://support.twitter.com/groups/32-something-s-not-working/topics/118-search/articles/66018-my-tweets-or-hashtags-are-missing-from-search-known-issue To answer your question about the search index history, we don't publish that information. The size of the index fluctuates based on the number of Tweets being made which means, the more Tweets there are the shorter the index period is.

It seems, though that I'm not able to get around the t.co shortener. If I put my shortened URL in the 'url' field, it gets shortened again by t.co. Is that because t.co doesn't 'know' about moxs.ie?

There's no known way to do this today, Tony. While it's obviously not a policy at Twitter, I thought I'd just take the time to share my personal opinion on embedded web views and the OAuth flow: - Not into it. Why? somewhat-related-opinion By redirecting to a standard web browser on the device where your application resides, your users can better understand the security scenario being presented to them while they are approving access for your application. Using an embedded webview subverts this trust, as you're basically providing them with a web browser of your application's design. Obviously, the majority of developers who implement things this way are not doing so with ill intent, but the opportunity for funny business increases when using a custom web view. There are other API providers out there who forbid the use of embedded browsers during OAuth flows for this reason. /somewhat-related-opinion Taylor On Thu, Aug 12, 2010 at 2:31 PM, Tony.In.Portland tony.in.portl...@gmail.com wrote: Bad choice of words on my part.

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Any way to turn off 'user-scalable' meta tag in OAuth authorization form?
The only issue with that is that you can't return the user to the app after the oath flow (unless you implement a protocol handler on your platform and Twitter supported calling back to it). I'm back and forth on this myself. The security advocate in me agrees with you Taylor, but the UX guy in me causes me to strive to find a way to guide the user through the process so that my users don't have follow too many instructions or do to many steps get up and going.

[twitter-dev] oauth API and application name
Hi,
I have implemented the oauth for a desktop application. The
application has been approved and I get the token back and also can
make HTTP requests using the token. However, when I post an update
using the app, it shows ...via API instead of the application name.
I thought the approved application's name suppose to appear instead. I
made sure that the post has oauth header instead of basic auth.
header. Do I need to do something else to ensure that the app name
appears instead of the API?
POST header:
Twitter request header: {
Authorization = OAuth realm=\\, oauth_consumer_key=\\,
oauth_token=\X\, oauth_signature_method=\HMAC-SHA1\,
oauth_signature=\lAx4jFI%2FeXaFv4aBxEYg2n3kkSo%3D\, oauth_timestamp=
\1281566038\, oauth_nonce=\F0999B0E-66FC-4CFE-AED7-4D87064A92A9\,
oauth_version=\1.0\;
Content-Type = application/x-www-form-urlencoded;
X-Twitter-Client = WritePad;
X-Twitter-Client-Url = http://www.phatware.com/writepad;;
X-Twitter-Client-Version = 4.1;
}
Thanks,
Stan
