[twitter-dev] Minor bug in Application Settings / Configuration... (http://dev.twitter.com/apps)
I've successfully implemented a few OAuth implementations with Twitter now and was setting up a new application. Got to the callback URL when registering the app and thought nah, not sure what it will be, will leave it blank and either enter it later or just pass oauth_callback anyway. So I saved the application with a blank callback URL. Turns out this was A bad idea TM. I'm using the Ruby OAuth gem which is new to me, but I was getting the following problems: On my request token step - if I didn't pass an oauth_callback, it did an OOB / PIN authentication for me. If I did pass an oauth_callback it returned a 401. Eventually I remembered about the callback URL I didn't create and tried to change it. Having not entered a callback URL in the first place, it now seemed like I can't edit it at all. So, eventually I tried to delete the application (fail whale), so I just created a new one, and this time entered a Callback URL. Changed the consumer keys and the exact same code now works perfectly and the oauth_callback is doing exactly what I expected (which is returning to a URL that's not the one registered with the App). Looks like that step of registering the Callback URL is critical and shouldn't be allowed to be left blank, although also I think if I pass an oauth_callback even if it IS blank it should acknowledge it.

[twitter-dev] facebook javascript sdk: looking for similar features for twitter
Does twitter have a Javascript SDK like facebook (http:// developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/javascript/)? My goal is the following: 1. from a Flash application call javascript or otherwise that will popup a login window tweet window; 2. receive callbacks indicating success/fault; The result of the callback will be used to award a user with points in a game. I have been able to easily implement this for facebook using the facebook Javascript SDK. What I like about the facebook solution is: 1. the display of the login/share is handled in a popup showing the actual facebook login and share options. I think this is a good thing as it provides the visitor with more confidence the popup is trusthworthy. Also the game is visible underneath the popup so the user does not really leave the games flow. 2. the facebook Javascript SDK takes care of showing the popup and returning callbacks, taking away work from me as a, Flash, developer having to develop this system. -- 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] Help with finding code to push tweets to Twitter from website CMS.
This tutorial will give you a step-by-step method for posting tweets to a Twitter account with PHP and OAuth: http://140dev.com/twitter-api-programming-tutorials/hello-twitter-oauth-php/ You can contact me directly if you have any questions. One thing I'd add to the tutorial is to register your Twitter app with the URL of your news site. That gives you two URLs in each tweet. One can be the URL you embed in the tweet, which points directly to the article. The other is the via link that Twitter puts in the dateline. That goes to the URL you enter when registering the app. To answer another common question in advance, you enter links into the tweet text by just using a URL, not by adding 'a href=...' around the URL. So if you put google.com or http:///google.com into a tweet, they will automatically be displayed as links. I know others on this list will warn you that just tweeting links to your website is a poor use of Twitter. I agree up to a point. I think *just* tweeting links is a bad idea, but tweeting a mixture of links to useful articles, and human tweets to your followers is an effective way to build an active account.

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Twitter API is giving wrong tweet ID
No, the tweets are fine. ActionScript (and any other ECMAScript language) can't handle numbers larger than 53 bits. In a few days you'll see that the numbers will be wrong twice as much. A few weeks later this will duplicate again, and again, and again. To solve this issue, a _str field (id_str, etc) was introduced for ECMAScript-based languages. It's not your implementation, it's the language. :-) Please use id_str instead of id. Tom On 12/7/10 9:08 PM, noriguard wrote: Yes, I think the implementation is correct, and I use ActionScript.

[twitter-dev] Re: GET Querystring for status update not working on new Twitter
We use SSL on our site. Which is a known issue: Whilst the Javascript version of the Tweet Button is not support over SSL you can use the 'build-your-own Tweet Button' technique instead. Well, if I create a custom button that works for SSL, the URL I want to pass along from the custom button looks like this once it's been encoded for Twitter: http%3A%2F%2Fdev%2Emitchell%2Ecom%2Fmitch%2Fcompany%2Fpressrelease %2Dtweet%2Easp%3Frange%3D0%26pr%3D268 Above, you state: One known issue right now is that %26 is converted to in #newtwitter so anything after it is ignored. Well, the last part of my URL string (after %26) is the part we need to display the correct press release. And that's the part that's being ignored. Your recommendation was to consider using the Tweet Button instead of the URL. It provides a better experience for your users and allows them to Tweet without leaving your site. Hmmm. So basically we are in a Catch-22. Any idea when one or the other of these issues might be resolved?

[twitter-dev] Can I get information when a tweet gets favorite?

[twitter-dev] Re: Can I get information when a tweet gets favorite?
That is only available if you actively monitor a user using User/Site Streams and keep track of the favorite events. Cannot be done retrospectively via the REST API I am afraid.

[twitter-dev] Re: oauth_callback
There is a required OAuth parameter step which is unclearly documented by Twitter. When Twitter returns from your /oauth/authorize It returns an oauth_verifier token. Make sure that you pass this oauth_verifier token (along with the other parameters) along to your /oauth/access_token call. Make sure you are passing this oauth_verifier in and see how you go. I've found that if you DON'T set a callback, it doesn't enforce the verifier, but if you do, then the verifier is essential (just be aware Twitter are planning to change to always require this in the future, so it's more compliant with the spec; worth making this change regardless, a lot of Twitter libraries don't implement it). Hope this helps...

[twitter-dev] Re: register twitter app which is on intranet
Use the OOB process - so pass oauth_callback=oob and you should get a PIN from Twitter which you then use in fetching your access_token. http://dev.twitter.com/pages/auth_overview#oob -- 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
[twitter-dev] Re: register twitter app which is on intranet
Oh, and while I think of it - if you just need the access token to make calls as your app (i.e. it's some kind of bot) then you don't even need to do that - just go to http://dev.twitter.com/apps, view your app and select my access token on the right. This will give you the access keys you need without doing the 3 step OAuth dance. Just use these to sign your requests and you'll be sweet. -- 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
[twitter-dev] Re: Can I get information when a tweet gets favorite?
I see. I feel that it's better not to do it, due to the burden of keeping all events. Thanks a lot.

Re: [twitter-dev] register twitter app which is on intranet
I assume that people from that intranet have access to twitter.com. The word callback URL isn't actually the right name. Redirect URL is. Twitter doesn't contact this URL, but only points your browser at it. This means that you can simply use a http://localhost and/or http://10.0.0.1 URL as callback URL.
