Re: [twitter-dev] app to block all users ending with numerals
I know a number of people who use twitter as a read only source of information (for instance they may follow only news outlets and celebrity tweeters) and therefore may have large follow counts with zero tweets. This may not be a use case that you are familiar with, but it is a valid use case. Also, I don't know if you are aware of the current limits on following, etc, which are described here, my apologies if you already are : http://support.twitter.com/forums/10711/entries/15364 As for the OP, well, a) if this is what you (or your users) want, just parse the follow messages looking for numerical postfixes and offer the user the user the option to block them, there is no need for an API call specifically to do this. And b) again, you are missing a use case, there are lots of genuine accounts that have numerics postfixed to them, some people use birth years, and some people - perhaps finding that the screen name they wanted is not available in a naked form - will have chosen [screen name]76 or some similar format, or picked a year with some historical connection with their chosen name. It is not safe to simply assume that ending with numerics is sufficient to indicate that the account is used only in the delivery of spam, be that tweet spam or simply follow spam. While the assumption may hold in a large number of cases - and I am not aware of any empirical data that shows what this number is, though I'd be interested to see one - it will undoubtedly include some false positives.

[twitter-dev] Re: setFollow Filter mentions
I use this technique also to limit tweets to just the ones I'm
explicitly following, but you'll find that the in_array() PHP function
makes this easier than creating separate tests for each user_id. I
create an array of user_ids I want to follow, pass this array to
Phirehose, and then compare the user_id of each tweet I receive to
this array.

There are plenty of good spam detection and filtering algorithms. The ones listed here, however, are simple hacks unlikely to work without extensive manual intervention. The same can be said for ManageFlitter, TwitCleaner and similar services. They give you a start, but you still have to wade through hundreds or thousands of positives to weed out the keepers. 2. A first name followed by a few numbers is a common legitimate screen name - just having a name like that isn't necessarily an indication of a spammer. Here's how it works - Bobby asks Kelly if she's on Twitter. Kelly says No and signs up. She starts with the screen name Kelly, finds it's taken, so she adds her age or the year she was born. If that's taken too, she'll maybe get clever and pick something like PiercedChick, or she'll pick a few random numbers and get in as Kelly117. (Now don't go blaming me if you start getting followers with names like PiercedChick117.) 3. The User / Twitter spam reporting process could definitely be improved with a few simple steps. I don't have any data - that would have to come from inside Twitter - but the two most common types of spam I see is spambots riding Trending Topics and spambots replying to keywords. In either case, the actual spam tweets sent are usually easily found via Twitter Search. Given that, what I do when I get a spam tweet is perform the search, then go through the resulting page and manually report a page or so, depending on how much time I'm willing to spend on this. So here's what I'd propose: Twitter sets up an email address or some other mechanism to receive these search patterns. When someone gets spammed, they can send a copy of the tweet to Twitter, in addition to doing a block and report on the spammer. Twitter could then create the search pattern, run the query and suspend

This may not be a use case that you are familiar with, but it is a valid use case. Also, I don't know if you are aware of the current limits on following, etc, which are described here, my apologies if you already are : http://support.twitter.com/forums/10711/entries/15364 As for the OP, well, a) if this is what you (or your users) want, just parse the follow messages looking for numerical postfixes and offer the user the user the option to block them, there is no need for an API call specifically to do this. And b) again, you are missing a use case, there are lots of genuine accounts that have numerics postfixed to them, some people use birth years, and some people - perhaps finding that the screen name they wanted is not available in a naked form - will have chosen [screen name]76 or some similar format, or picked a year with some historical connection with their chosen name. It is not safe to simply assume that ending with numerics is sufficient to indicate that the account is used only in the delivery of spam, be that tweet spam or simply follow spam. While the assumption may hold in a large number of cases - and I am not aware of any empirical data that shows what this number is, though I'd be interested to see one - it will undoubtedly include some false positives.

There are plenty of good spam detection and filtering algorithms. The ones listed here, however, are simple hacks unlikely to work without extensive manual intervention. The same can be said for ManageFlitter, TwitCleaner and similar services. They give you a start, but you still have to wade through hundreds or thousands of positives to weed out the keepers. 2. A first name followed by a few numbers is a common legitimate screen name - just having a name like that isn't necessarily an indication of a spammer. Here's how it works - Bobby asks Kelly if she's on Twitter. Kelly says No and signs up. She starts with the screen name Kelly, finds it's taken, so she adds her age or the year she was born. If that's taken too, she'll maybe get clever and pick something like PiercedChick, or she'll pick a few random numbers and get in as Kelly117. (Now don't go blaming me if you start getting followers with names like PiercedChick117.) 3. The User / Twitter spam reporting process could definitely be improved with a few simple steps. I don't have any data - that would have to come from inside Twitter - but the two most common types of spam I see is spambots riding Trending Topics and spambots replying to keywords. In either case, the actual spam tweets sent are usually easily found via Twitter Search. Given that, what I do when I get a spam tweet is perform the search, then go through the
[twitter-dev] Twitter Basics and Errors
I am in the process of getting re-acquainted with the API after a lot
of changes and I have run into some issues.
I am getting rate limited when I do a call to get the follower IDs. As
I understand it, it has 150 uses on my IP per hour, but I couldn't
have made more than 4 calls. My script is fairly simple as a test:
$twitterObj = new EpiTwitter();
$followers = $twitterObj-get_followersIds( array ('screen_name' =
'whoever'));
print \n . count($followers);
This isn't a part of a loop or anything, but I get a Rate Limit
Exceeded error after only one or 2 calls to this. Any idea what could
be wrong?
Also, has something changed with search? I attempt to do:
$twitterObj = new EpiTwitter();
$search = $twitterObj-search('whatever');
echo $search-responseText;
And I get a 403 Forbidden error.
Both my examples are using the php wrapper found here:
http://www.jaisenmathai.com/articles/twitter-php-oauth.html
If anyone has any help with my I might be seeing these errors, or if
there is a better library for PHP to do basic no authentication tasks,
such as getting a users followers and doing basic search queries, I
would very much appreciate it.
Thank you.

I haven't gathered any data, mostly because I'm too lazy to write the API call management / rate limit logic to automate this. I'd *almost* be willing to recommend to Twitter that they stop indexing tweets for Search that match more than one Trending Topic, though. ;-) To pointlessly prolong the discussion - it being Friday :-) ... Of course that suffers from the same problems, my personal feed follows a lot of UK politics, most of this action takes place during the day when much of the UK is busy. It is not all uncommon to see two trending topics or hashtags in these tweets, and this is especially true when something like a televised debate or random bit of civil unrest is taking place. Instructive for anyone who wishes to see this in action will be the large demonstration in central London tomorrow, I would predict that within several hours of the beginning of the march, if not before, you will see many UK tweets containing at least two TTs, if not three. Indeed, it is a common practice amongst such twitterers - particularly the more provocative and/or confrontational - to include as many popular hashtags as they can fit onto the end of their tweet so as to reach the highest number of people who may have added these to their searches, resulting in multiple trends in some otherwise very short tweets. Now it is certainly the case that these tweets amount to a vanishingly small number of the total number of tweets in any given timeframe, and that the number of people who are interested in them is a vanishingly small proportion of even the UK user base, never mind the entire global base, but for those users those tweets are precisely what they are using twitter for. I guess what I'm getting at here is that any automated filtering system ultimately amounts to making value judgements on behalf of your users. That this fails quite often in - for example - corporate email systems gives me no confidence that any similar approach is going to work for twitter, where the diversity of message content, users, and use cases is vastly more pronounced.

[Now] Tweet Button share flow has had some UI improvements which includes
support for mobile smart phones.
This change is automatic and all users of the Tweet Button will already be
receiving the new design. When a smartphone is detected, we render the
mobile view for you - meaning you don't need to do anything to have your
Tweet Button support mobile users.
[Now] Attempting to view a direct message which you did not send/receive now
returns 403 instead of 401
This change affects /1/direct_messages/show.{format}. If the current_user is
not the sender or receiver of the message, we now return a 403 (instead of a
401) with the message You may only view direct messages you've sent or
received.
[Now] Attempting to destroy a direct message without providing a message ID
now returns a 400 instead of a 404
This change affects /1/direct_messages/show.{format} and
/1/direct_messages/destroy.{format}. If the id parameter is not provided, we
now return a 400 (instead of a 404) with the error message Missing required
parameter: ID.
[Now] We've added a new method /1/friendships/no_retweet_ids.{format} to
help streaming clients know whose retweets to silence in timelines.
Userstreams and Sitestreams include all retweets created by a users
followings. The new REST API method /1/friendships/no_retweet_ids.{format}
provides developers of Streaming applications with a comma separated list of
user_ids for which the authenticating user has said they do not want to
receive retweets from.
[Now] An alternative set of URLs have been created for lists to allow
requests by user_id or screen_name.
Instead of providing a users screen_name in the URL for a list, you can now
choose to provide either their user_id or screen_name. The old routes will
continue to operate but we encourage developers to transition to the new
routes as soon as possible.
The new routes and parameter names are:
POST /1/lists/create -- name, mode, description
POST /1/lists/update -- [list identifier], mode, description
GET /1/lists -- user_id, screen_name, cursor
GET /1/lists/show -- [list identifier]
POST /1/lists/destroy -- [list identifier]
GET /1/lists/statuses -- [list identifier], since_id, max_id
GET /1/lists/memberships -- [list identifier], cursor, member_user_id,
member_screen_name
GET /1/lists/subscriptions -- [list identifier], cursor, subscriber_user_id,
subscriber_screen_name
GET /1/lists/members -- [list identifier], cursor
POST /1/lists/members/create -- [list identifier], member_user_id,
member_screen_name
POST /1/lists/members/create_all -- [list identifier], member_user_ids,
member_screen_names
POST /1/lists/members/destroy -- [list identifier], member_user_id,
member_screen_name
GET /1/lists/members/show -- [list identifier], member_user_id,
member_screen_name
GET /1/lists/subscribers -- [list identifier], cursor
POST /1/lists/subscribers/create -- [list identifier]
POST /1/lists/subscribers/destroy -- [list identifier]
GET /1/lists/subscribers/show -- [list identifier], subscriber_user_id,
subscriber_screen_name
[list identifier] represents a combination of:
screen_name or user_id
and
slug or list_id
If cursor is not provided it will default to -1.
[Soon] The trends endpoints on search.twitter.com are being turned off as
they exist on api.twitter.com instead
The trends API used to be hosted on search.twitter.com but was moved last
year to api.twitter.com. If you haven't transitioned your trends requests to
api.twitter.com yet you should make the change now. In the next couple of
weeks the trends API will stop being served from search.twitter.com.
[Soon] followers/ids and friends/ids is being updated to set the cursor to
-1 if it isn't supplied during the request. This changes the default
response format
For those of you who already use cursor=-1 in your

[twitter-dev] Re: Some changes and updates to the API and Tweet Button
Not that my opinion matters, but this one sucks: [Soon] followers/ids and friends/ids is being updated to set the cursor to -1 if it isn't supplied during the request. This changes the default response format. Paging these results is slow. I've been avoiding it whenever possible. I don't suppose these results will ever be able to be asynchronously called? -- 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
