[twitter-dev] tmhOAuth callbacks interrupts
Hi, All! I have a problem with thmhOAuth.
Here is the code, it is like an example from
https://github.com/themattharris/tmhOAuth:
---
require_once(config.php);
require_once(tmhOAuth.php);
require_once(functions.php);
function my_streaming_callback($data, $length, $metrics)
{
echo \x0D\x0A Recieved: .$data .PHP_EOL.\x0D\x0A;
return file_exists(dirname(__FILE__) . '/STOP');
}
$tmhOAuth = new tmhOAuth(array(
'consumer_key'= CONSUMER_KEY,
'consumer_secret' = CONSUMER_SECRET,
'user_token' = OAUTH_TOKEN,
'user_secret' = OAUTH_TOKEN_SECRET,
));
$method = 'http://stream.twitter.com/1/statuses/filter.json';
// show Tweets which contan the word twitter OR have been geo-tagged
within
// the bounding box -122.41,37.77,-122.40,37.78 OR are by
themattharris
$params = array(
'track' = '@something,
// Around Twitter HQ. First param is the SW corner of the bounding
box
//'locations' = '-122.41,37.77,-122.40,37.78',
//'follow'= '106045630' // fb
);
$tmhOAuth-streaming_request('POST', $method, $params,
'my_streaming_callback');
$tmhOAuth-pr($tmhOAuth);

[twitter-dev] Search API from_user_id doesn't match up with the proper Twitter user_id
I just wanted to bring group-wide awareness to the fact that search results from Twitter do not return an actual user_id. This has been a known defect (and yes, I do believe it's a *very large* defect) going on over 2 years now. This is a call to arms to get this shit fixed. I can't believe it's marked as an enhancement. There's nobody else to blame for providing a return param of from_user that doesn't actually map to an actual user. For those of us storing relational data, you're costing precious API calls for those users who are still utilizing the search API. The streaming API is not sufficient for all use cases, so that's not a valid answer.

[twitter-dev] Re: Search API from_user_id doesn't match up with the proper Twitter user_id
Also, while it would be possible to use screen names for relations (i.e. from_user), this would have a very negative side effect. Mainly, if a user were to change their Twitter account name, previous relations would be lost.

Re: [twitter-dev] Search API from_user_id doesn't match up with the proper Twitter user_id
I'm sure Taylor or Matt will reply politely to this rant. I don't work for Twitter, so I'd like to take on your attitude of entitlement directly towards this free service. Your basic approach can be summed up as How dare Twitter have problems in a totally free API that I can use to build a business on! First of all, this service is free, second there is an easy workaround for this. - You collect the tweets from the search API and store the user name, which is delivered correctly, along with the tweet info. You also get the avatar image. So you have enough now to display the tweet. - You then run a background process which waits until you have 100 user names, and requests their correct user info from the REST API. This can be stored in a separate user table. - This same process goes back to the tweets and updates each one with the correct user id. - You now have a valid relational database with a table for tweets, and a table for users. While this isn't perfect, it isn't hard to do either. At 100 users per request, and as long as you only request data for users you haven't seen before, there is no problem back filling this user data within the rate limits. Now, back to your attitude. The Twitter API is free. I agree that they should fix search, but it is acquired code, and my bet is that they want to rewrite it rather than patch it. The real point is that it is free. It is not a right granted to you to always have perfect code delivered to you. Twitter benefits from you writing code against there API, and you benefit from getting the data for free. Be grateful.

[twitter-dev] Return NULL in JSON XML
There's a problem when I using twitter API about JSON response.
Here is the sample code:
$connection = new TwitterOAuth(CONSUMER_KEY, CONSUMER_SECRET,
$access_token['oauth_token'], $access_token['oauth_token_secret']);
$content = $connection-get('statuses/followers');
When I do this the response will be OK, an array of stdClass Objects.
But when I change the code into
$content = $connection-get('statuses/followers.json');
or
$content = $connection-get('statuses/followers.xml');
the response will both be NULL.
but the $connection-http_code is 200.
Did I misuse the API or miss something?
Can someone please help me out with this ?

[twitter-dev] How to access to friendship data of twitter users
Hello! If I want to access all of the friendship data of twitter users, i.e. how twitter users connect with each other, is it possible to do it? I am not interested in other information of users such as name, gender and so on. In other words, I just want to get the network of twitter users, no other information. I am just the beginner of twitter developer, and I am sorry if the message would bother you. Any of your reply is highly appreciated! Thank you.

Re: [twitter-dev] Return NULL in JSON XML
JSON is used by default so you should be using
$content = $connection-get('statuses/followers');

[twitter-dev] Reconnection to Streaming API
Hi All, I was trying to write some shell scripts to do the following job: when the Streaming API stops working for whatever reason, make a reconnection immediately. Here is how I did it: I wrote a script called check.sh: c=$(ps aux | grep curl|wc -l) if [[ $c -eq 1 ]] % which means there is no active curl process, the only live one is grep then curl -d @locations http://stream.twitter.com/1/statuses/filter.json - u username:password result.txt fi And I created a cron job which runs this check.sh every minute: 0-59 0-23 * * * check.sh monitor.txt It does the job partially: it can reconnect to Streaming API in the case of disconnection. My problem is that, by running this script as a cron job, the Streaming API got disconnected at the end of every minute, and then reconnect again at the beginning of the next minute, and I have no clue why it got disconnected every minute. The problem seems coming from the cron job I created, but I couldn't find mistakes there. Does anyone have suggestions on this?

Re: [twitter-dev] 4294967295
I just wanted to follow up on this, because the issue continues to happen, and it gets more and more interesting. We've now been seeing user.listed_count coming back as 4294967293 on occasion. So just to recap, we have now seen these values in the user.listed_count field: 4294967295 (a.k.a. unsigned -1) 4294967294 (a.k.a. unsigned -2) 4294967293 (a.k.a. unsigned -3) twitter4j has worked around this issue no problem, but I'm more than just a bit curious what these values represent. Should -1 and -2 and -3 be treated to mean anything other than we don't know what the listed count is? What happens if/when -4 starts popping out?

[twitter-dev] Re: Oauth timeout at access_token request
I get great performance in the request_token call. I've racked my brain trying to come up with a way to send the same oauth headers some other way (other than writing a php page or something to do the same). I'm using .Net 1.1 standard HTTPWebRequest methods to do this. I would expect them to detect the response correctly. If I can't figure some other way out of it, I'll have to try writing a little curl request. I'm sure there's something wrong with the way I'm doing things, but I just can't see it. The weird part is that if there were something wrong with my oauth headers or signature or something, I'd expect the page to return with an error, the timeout is the unexpected part. In case it helps, here's my oauth request method: -- Public Shared Function GenerateOauthRequest(ByVal RequestUrl As String, ByVal RequestMethod As String, ByVal ConsumerKey As String, ByVal ConsumerSecret As String, ByVal OauthToken As String, ByVal OauthTokenSecret As String, Optional ByVal IncludeOauthToken As Boolean = False, Optional ByVal Data As String = Nothing, Optional ByVal OauthVerifier As String = , Optional ByVal OauthCallback As String = ) As Hashtable Dim objRequest As HttpWebRequest Dim datNow As DateTime = Date.UtcNow Dim lngTimestamp As Long = DateToUnixTimestamp(datNow) Dim strNonce As String = IntegerToSerialNumber(lngTimestamp) GenerateToken(20) Dim strSignatureMethod As String = HMAC-SHA1 Dim strHMACKey As String = ConsumerSecretOauthTokenSecret Dim stbSignature As New StringBuilder Dim strSignature As String = stbSignature.Append(RequestMethod) stbSignature.Append() stbSignature.Append(UrlEncodeRFC(RequestUrl)) Dim stbOAuthData As New StringBuilder If RequestMethod = GET And Not IsNothing(Data) Then If Data.Length 0 Then stbOAuthData.Append(Data) stbOAuthData.Append() End If End If stbOAuthData.Append(oauth_consumer_key=) stbOAuthData.Append(ConsumerKey) stbOAuthData.Append(oauth_nonce=) stbOAuthData.Append(strNonce) stbOAuthData.Append(oauth_signature_method=) stbOAuthData.Append(strSignatureMethod) stbOAuthData.Append(oauth_timestamp=) stbOAuthData.Append(lngTimestamp) If IncludeOauthToken And Not IsNothing(OauthToken) Then If OauthToken.Length 0 Then stbOAuthData.Append(oauth_token=) stbOAuthData.Append(OauthToken) End If End If If OauthVerifier.Length 0 Then stbOAuthData.Append(oauth_verifier=) stbOAuthData.Append(OauthVerifier) End If stbOAuthData.Append(oauth_version=1.0) stbSignature.Append() stbSignature.Append(UrlEncodeRFC(stbOAuthData.ToString)) strSignature = stbSignature.ToString Dim objHMAC As New HMACSHA1(Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(strHMACKey)) Dim bytMessage() As Byte = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(strSignature) Dim bytSignature() As Byte = objHMAC.ComputeHash(bytMessage) strSignature = Convert.ToBase64String(bytSignature) If RequestMethod = GET And Not IsNothing(Data) Then If Data.Length 0 Then RequestUrl = ?

[twitter-dev] Feed No Longer Working
I run a website called AthletesWhoTweet.com, recently my web site has stopped pulling in the feeds from Twitter and I'm not sure why. My guess is that my code is totally out of date, as I had been using it for over two years. Basically, what I had been doing was pulling down a list of the most recent tweets from a group of Twitter users, in this case pro athletes. I created a Twitter account and followed all of these athletes whom i wanted to appear on my feed on my web site, and then pull down attributes such as their tweet, their username, their thumbnail, etc. In addition, I would pull down individual tweets from a particular athlete on a single page. As i mentioned, this recently stopped working and I am pretty in the dark as it pertain to getting back up and running. I don't know enough about coding or the API to get this fixed so I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction as to the code I need to use. I would also be willing to pay someone to get this fixed for me and of course have the non-functioning code on hand that just recently stopped working. Any help is appreciated!

[twitter-dev] Re: Search API from_user_id doesn't match up with the proper Twitter user_id
I'm sure I came off a little strong in the initial post; unfortunately for me google groups doesn't supply an edit button. I think there is still a grain of merit to the request to fix the issue, regardless of the API being free. I'm interest in knowing the trade-offs of Twitter essentially requiring third party apps to make subsequent calls to users/lookup for each unique user in a batch of results. The current problem I see, from Twitter's end, is that the subsequent call returns far more data than necessary. It's doubling the RTTs on both ends and creating an excessive amount of bandwidth for a trivial amount of data. I've got to imagine there's a number of cache misses going on due to the frequency of user updates and pulling the latest tweet, so it would seem rather costly.

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Search API from_user_id doesn't match up with the proper Twitter user_id
Yeah, well the call to arms may have been over the top. :) I agree that Twitter should fix the search API. Every time I ask, the answer is that it will be done eventually, and that it will have entities and everything else the streaming API has. I think this means that it will be the streaming API code with the ability to look backwards added. Think about it, isn't that what any architect would do? You combine your code bases. The real problem with search is its inability to go back beyond 5-7 days. Since Twitter plans to make its money from search ads and compete for Google ad revenue, more search results means more searching and more ad revenue. I bet they plan on an IPO within a year, and the story that Twitter search is just a tiny fraction of Google search but growing like crazy is exactly the type of promise that makes investors crazy for an IPO. It is also pretty sad that Google just added the ability to search millions of books going back 500 years, and Twitter only goes back 5 days! So search is clearly very important. I just don't think they want to fix this code. It is Summize code, and they show no interest in diving into it. Until they rewrite it, we have to wait.

Re: [twitter-dev] 4294967295
It's going to be a little bit of time before we can totally prevent these values from occurring. Right now, you should probably just consider this value as unknown rather than necessarily null, 0, or otherwise. The team responsible for the low level component causing the bug has a fix planned, but it can't be applied until a few more dependencies are resolved.
