[twitter-dev] Follower analysis without whitelisting breaks limits?
Hi there at twitter, I wonder how the following is done with a per user limit of 350 requests per hour: We have a tool, that analyzes follower and following of a specific user. (for example: list the new followers or the ones, that doesn't follow back). Luckily we are whitelisted at the moment! For this feature we use the REST API interface (http://api.twitter.com/ version/followers/ids.format) to get a list of all follower and following (friends) ids and compare them with the list stored yesterday. This id-list is partitioned in 5000 ids. To get the whole list of follower ids of the user aplusk for example, we have to call the API 1268 times. With a per user limit of 350 calls/hour, this means, it takes 4 hours to get the whole list! Is there another way to do this? Or what are your answers for this problem?

[twitter-dev] App title and url do not get updated (twitter website bug)
Hi all, A few days ago I updated my apps url and title, however both don't show up in the user statues posted after the update. Here is an example tweet posted via 'python api' (the old name, that keeps not getting updated): http://twitter.com/#!/guysoft/status/37077323643617280 Here is the app page (that shows as updated, new name is SMS Gate- IL): http://dev.twitter.com/apps/621723 This is clearly a bug in the twitter website, but I can't seem to find a way to reach the website developers, or jog twitter to start using the updated title and url.

[twitter-dev] User Streams and @mentions
Hi all I'm just starting to play with the User Streams with the aim of allowing it in addition to REST api. I've had a stream open for most of the day looking at the received data and most of it looks pretty straightforward. When it comes to DM's, deletes, etc the message tells us that in the JSON. The one thing I haven't noticed is how mentions are displayed for example I receive a mention from someone I don't follow. This only appears on my Mentions API under REST and not my home timeline. When I connect over User Streams it seems to just come in as any other tweet. My question is how do I determine that this is a mention that shouldn't appear in my home timeline. Do I have to keep track of the initial friends message and compare the user id every time or is there something even simpler that I'm missing?

Re: [twitter-dev] User Streams and @mentions
Home Timeline = check it in the friends dictionary Mention = match the tweet's text Search = match the keywords The rest is easy.

Using the search API makes not sense if there a Count API. This leaves me with the following questions 1. Will my application / I.P. get banned if I use the Count API? 2.

[twitter-dev] Re: Follower analysis without whitelisting breaks limits?
If I remember correctly, Site Streams sends you a transaction only when the user follows another user (adding to Following). It does not send you a transaction when someone else follows that user (adding to Followers). I don't know if this work the same in User Streams. Clarification by Twitter will be appreciated. On Feb 14, 12:38 pm, David Giamanco dgiama...@gmail.com wrote: I believe the new way to do this is to initially call the REST API to get all of the ids for the first time you process this user. Then you setup a User Stream on the user and process any requests that come in through there. For your uses, if you only show users the differences in follower counts then you don't need the initial call to the REST API to collect all ids. All you need is a count of the ids and then to initiate a User Stream. The User Stream will give you the differences in real time and you can store just the differences, instead of the entire set of ids.
