[twitter-dev] xAuth - sometimes success response, sometimes Error-response
Hello, I´m using xAuth in an ActionScript 3.0 Project. I still have problems that I sometimes get a successful response, and a couple of times a faulty response. If I get a bad response, then I have the HTTP status code 401 with following error message: Failed to validate oauth signature and token The values that are different are the oAuth_nonce and oAuth_timestamp. The oAuth_nonce is determined by a random number. This is determined by the uuid of the current date. Subcontent special characters such as: - removed. Such uuid should be unique. I wonder why I for similar calculations of the nonce, etc. sometimes successful and sometimes get a bad response! -- 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

Re: [twitter-dev] (401) Unauthorized
This code hasn't changed and was working yesterday and has been working for many months. This error is happening right after the user has allowed the application permission and is returning back to my application with tokens. There is no chance for these tokens to expire so I don't think that this is the issue On Tue, Oct 5, 2010 at 7:24 AM, Tom van der Woerdt i...@tvdw.eu wrote: Like the error says: your token is invalid or has expired.

Re: [twitter-dev] Hotlinking images
I believe it's okay to directly use the URLs given in responses (like the user's profile image url), but you'll quickly run into issues where those URLs will stop working when someone changes their profile image. I suggest keeping a copy of the image cached yourself and updating it every so often to avoid issues like this. However, a better alternative may be to use @joestump's http://tweetimag.es service.

[twitter-dev] Over the limit for this type of request, please wait a while and try again
Hi folks, Our service has been down for over 3 days now due to broken API calls. Still waiting on any information from Twitter about what's going on, but still in the dark. About 3 days ago we started receiving messages (incorrectly in the new error structure) saying Over the limit for this type of request, please wait a while and try again with error code 33 when calling friendships/destroy. According to the API docs, this call is not rate limited http://dev.twitter.com/doc/post/friendships/destroy All our API requests are authenticated with the requesting user. This happens after about 100 calls. It makes our app completely unusable. I'm guessing it's a bug, but after 3 days I'm wondering if anyone else is seeing this problem. As the errors are returned in the new error structure they didn't appear in our logs at first, so you might be experiencing this problem and not noticing. The new error structure returns a set of error messages under errors instead of just a string under error.

[twitter-dev] status destroy / caching in NewTwitter.
Hi folks, Can someone please share the caching expiration plan for newtwitter? It seems to cache new content for a really, really long time (at least 12 hours, though I think this number is falling). A few of our apps will regularly destroy some of their past tweets. Users with oldtwitter will not see said tweet if they haven't had it in their stream, and if it is in their stream, will lose it in their first refresh or authentication cycle. This is our expected behavior. Users with newtwitter will see those tweets, even after they have been destroyed. Even if they didn't have an active session during the time of their creation / destruction. You can manually flush your home timeline's cache by leaving the preview to return to oldtwitter. If you then go back to newtwitter, they stay gone. Signing out / signing back in to newtwitter and destroyed tweets are still there. What are the new caching expiration values? Are there plans to decrease them? Is there a goal min/max that we can expect? Is what I've described expected behavior? Any help would be appreciated.

Re: [twitter-dev] Twitter Search
Twitter Search only contains Tweets for ~5 days so there isn't a way to 'find' the Tweets you are looking for using the Twitter APIs directly. Instead, we recommend you 'track' the keywords you are interested in using the Streaming API. This will allow you to aggregate all the Tweets that match what you are looking for, in real-time. Whilst this won't allow you to access historical data it will provide you with a way to consume and store Tweets from now onwards that you could query yourself later on. You can read more about the Streaming API here: http://dev.twitter.com/pages/streaming_api Best, @themattharris Developer Advocate, Twitter http://twitter.com/themattharris On Mon, Oct 4, 2010 at 11:52 PM, lionmate bensongeor...@gmail.com wrote: How I fetch twitter feeds for 10 days before from a specified date?

Re: [twitter-dev] xAuth - sometimes success response, sometimes Error-response
It's likely not the nonce that is invalid in this case -- or the timestamp. In this case, the error specifically is indicating that it couldn't validate the request. Does the alternate 401 vs success happen with the exact same credentials, or are you using different credentials?
