[twitter-dev] Re: The max length of Profile Image URL and alternative way to get it.
OK. I got the point. Api to get profile_image by http://api.twitter.com/1/users/ profile_image/USERID.xml looks perfect. I will use this statement for DB. Then, 70 chars would be fine I think. Like, 50 chars for URL part except USERID + 20 chars for USERID = varchar 70. Thanks a lot, yama On 5月13日, 午前12:16, Taylor Singletary taylorsinglet...@twitter.com wrote: With something volatile like a URL you shouldn't make any assumptions about its length, -- and in this case, nor should you try to derive any meaning out of the various components of the URL path. There is technically no maximum length to a URL, so for storage purposes I would reserve yourself plenty of characters. Speculation: the numeric portion of the path appears to be epoch time in seconds, equivalent of: Sun May 02 16:17:07 -0700 2010 We do offer an API method to determine the avatar for a user by user_id, however you cannot use them to directly render the image -- only to resolve a user_id to a avatar URL string.

This is my image. http://a0.twimg.com/profile_images/1272842227/android- wallpaper4_2560x1600.png But, what is the max length of it? and what does the number, 1272842227 mean? Also if possible, I'd like to get profile image by userID, like, on facebook i can get image by http://graph.facebook.com/USERID/ picture. Is it possible on Twitter also?

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Reducing rate-limited calls to friends/ids
If you're acting on your own behalf and don't have users, likely you'll just have to deal with the rate limiting and consider that for you to obtain all the data you're interested in, it's going to take time -- 24 hours in a day, 350 requests an hour, 7 days in a week... Your other best alternative is to provide some form of web-based authentication (read-only likely being most appropriate), detail the purpose of your study and explicitly outline what an end-user is agreeing to and ask users to authenticate your application to act on their behalf. On virtue of their consent, you could then use their access token to further execute the requests you're interested in. If you have a circle of friends on Twitter, you might get the bandwidth you're looking for pretty quickly -- otherwise you could, for example, ask members of this mailing list to authenticate and agree to pool resources so to speak as an endorsement of your research.
