Re: [twitter-dev] inconsistent data when fetching the stream using location boxes
thanks matt I didn't think of verifying the source straight from the json api, you're perfectly right, this is super helpful. and it appears that twitter4j has some funny behaviour, as I'm reading the geo location directly from the API when I receive an onStatus notification, hence something like status.geoLocation() I will need to dig in the code to understand what's happening, I'll come back to you as soon as I have answers many thanks again, have a good day thomas -- Twitter developer documentation and resources: https://dev.twitter.com/doc API updates via Twitter: https://twitter.com/twitterapi Issues/Enhancements Tracker: https://code.google.com/p/twitter-api/issues/list Change your membership to this group: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/twitter-development-talk
Re: [twitter-dev] Poor documentation. For example, regarding lists. Suggestions for improvement.
Matt :
I suggest in the Example Requests you add the URL for the call. It will
prevent much of the What URL to call? queries.

Hi Dave,
Thanks for your feedback, it's important for us to know when developers are
not finding the information they are looking for.
I have responded to your specific points inline:
Issue #1: Valid version numbers
I was unable to locate valid values for version. I tried 1.1.14,
which I understand the current version to be from searching the site,
but that causes a 404. It was only after digging around for examples
that I noticed people using 1. A page describing valid version
numbers should be linked from the word version.
In the API documentation there is a version place marker in the example
request URL. Currently only one version of the API exists, that version is
1. This means any REST API queries will be of the format:
https://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.json
I've updated the API FAQ and Things Every Developer Should Know pages
to include this information.
http://dev.twitter.com/pages/every_developer
https://dev.twitter.com/pages/api_faq
Issue #2: Extremely unclear parameter passing
As this call uses GET, and the documentation lists parameters you
should include, this implies to me that you should use a query string.
The docs list the following required parameters:
* list_id - The numerical id of the list.
* slug - You can identify a list by its slug instead of its numerical
id. If you decide to do so, note that you'll also have to specify the
list owner using the owner_id or owner_screen_name parameters.
As it is not at all obvious how you discover the list_id or
owner_id, I opted to use slug and owner_screen_name. However, if
you
$ curl
http://api.twitter.com/1/lists/statuses.json?owner_screen_name=cnnslug=cnnnews
you get
{error:You must specify either a list ID or a slug and
owner,request:\/1\/lists\/statuses.json?owner_screen_name=cnn}
Notice that the response json lists the request with only the
owner_screen_name parameter. I imagine that 1 or more things went
wrong, possibly including:
1. The API has a bug that is stripping the second parameter
2. The documentation is incorrect, and you may not use slug and
owner_screen_name to retrieve results.
3. The documentation does not properly describe how you pass the
arguments in the query string. Perhaps you're supposed to encode the
entire string. I was not able to discern this.
4. The documentation is incorrect about the url format.
The request you are making is correct. The error is instead being caused by
the way in which you are using your terminal. When using a terminal like
this you need to remember to either quote your URL or escape the 's.
This would make your request look like this:
curl
http://api.twitter.com/1/lists/statuses.json?owner_screen_name=cnnslug=cnnnews
Issue #3: No obvious way to discover list_id or owner_id
user_ids are provided in all API responses which include a user object. The
most common way of getting information about a user is through the
users/show method or users/lookup method:
http://dev.twitter.com/doc/get/users/show
http://dev.twitter.com/doc/get/users/lookup
list_id is available from the index of lists for a user. This request is
the /1/lists request:
http://dev.twitter.com/doc/get/lists
Alternatively, if those values are unknown or you don't wish to look them
up, you can provide the slug and screen_name as you have done in your
example.
Issue #4: Undocumented, un-obvious correct url
I was finally able to retrieve the results using this url, pieced
together from scattered examples.
$ curl http://api.twitter.com/1/cnn/lists/cnnnews/statuses.json
So far as I could tell, the documentation in no way implies that you
could use such a url.
This is the deprecated way of making lists requests. It is documented on
this page of the developer resources site:
http://dev.twitter.com/doc/get/:user/lists/:id/statuses
I hope that helps explain a little bit more about the API. Let me know if
this information is useful or what you would change and we'll see how we can
incorporate it into the docs.
Best,

[twitter-dev] Re: Possible to find out how many people have see a tweet?
I am wondering if there is a way to see how many people have seen my tweet via Retweets. For instance I tweet Twitter is the best it is RT by one of my followers who has 1,000 followers, then by one of his followers who has 200 so my tweet has been seen by those users 1,200 people via Retweets. Many people just follow 1000+ people and may not 'see' a retweet even though the retweet was available to read in their tweet inbox because there is 1000 other people whose tweets are visible when the twitter user logs in.

Re: [twitter-dev] xAuth login
Hi Sushil,
Twitter enforces that timestamps be within a reasonable amount of time from
the present, so this is expected behavior.
One way that you can get plan ahead for this is by reading the Date HTTP
header that is sent in the response to every request -- once you parse that
date, you can determine the delta between what our server clock is running
at and what time your device thinks it is and then adjust your timestamp
calculations accordingly.
Another strategy that some developers take is to issue an unauthenticated
HTTP HEAD request to https://api.twitter.com/1/help/test.json when the app
starts up, which will also yield the Date header that you can adjust to.

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Switching Application Type to Browser
Changing your application type has no effect on existing access tokens. If a key has the xAuth permission granted to it, xAuth can be performed using the API key regardless of the setting for application type. Applications set to desktop cannot dynamically present a oauth_callback on the request token step (unless the value of oauth_callback is equal to oob for PIN-code out-of-band OAuth), while apps set to client have the ability to dynamically set an oauth_callback as they see fit. When saving an application in client mode, one must provide a placeholder callback URL even though it's a best practice (and valid OAuth) to set the oauth_callback explicitly. @episod http://twitter.com/intent/user?screen_name=episod - Taylor Singletary On Fri, Jun 24, 2011 at 9:00 AM, Andrew W.

Re: [twitter-dev] How to autologin to twitter by providing the username and password using API?
Hi Karthikeyan, In our Terms of Service ( http://dev.twitter.com/pages/api_terms ) we say that a Service should not replicate, frame, or mirror the Twitter website or its design. In addition, automating the login to twitter.com isn't something you should be doing or are allowed to do. Instead you should use the Twitter APIs to provide interactivity with Twitter. What actions would like people to be able to do inside you application? If you can provide some examples of what you would like users to be able to do, we can make recommendations on the API methods to use.

Re: [twitter-dev] all xauth access token revoke after oauth
Hi Shinichi, I don't quite follow your question but I think the following information is close to what you are asking about. When you take a user through the OAuth flow we do one of three things. 1. If the user has not authorized your application before a token at the requested permission level will be granted. 2. If the user has already authorized your application, and the permission level being requested has not changed, the existing token will be left unchanged and returned. 3. If the user has already authorized your application, but the permission level being requested is different to the one they already allowed, we will destroy the old token and create a new one at the new permission level. For xAuth and applications with Read, Write, Direct Messages (RWD) this means a couple of things. 1. Performing xAuth before the user has been through the OAuth flow will mean the original RW token will be destroyed and a new RWD one will be created. 2. Performing xAuth after the user has been through the OAuth flow will mean the RWD token is maintained. We do this to ensure applications which use xAuth do not bounce between RW and RWD tokens. To illustrate this consider a Read, Write, Direct Messages application which uses both xAuth and OAuth. In this example assume the user hasn't used the application before. 1. The application prompts the user to login with xAuth. 2. The application performs xAuth and receives a Read Write token and secret (RW). 3. The application now asks the user to update their authorization to allow reading of direct messages. 4. The application starts the OAuth flow and takes the user to https://api.twitter.com/oauth/authorize?oauth_token=abc123 5. The user accepts the RWD request and is redirected to the callback URL. 6. The application receives the callback and completes the OAuth flow to receive a new RWD token and secret. This token is different to the one issued during the xAuth flow. 7. Now the user goes to a secondary device to authorize their account on the same application 8. The application prompts the user to login with xAuth. 9. The application performs xAuth and receives the same RWD token and secret issued in step 6. This is because the user has already authorised the application for RWD access to their account. I hope that answers your question and explains what is going on when you mix xAuth with OAuth.

Re: [twitter-dev] Poor documentation. For example, regarding lists. Suggestions for improvement.
Hi Denzil,
Thanks for the suggestion. Do you think that would help or would it be
better to try and link to the console? Just curious about alternative ideas.
The reason I say this is POST and DELETE requests are difficult to write as
single example URLs. When we had them in the past they led to confusion with
OAuth signing.

Hi Dave,
Thanks for your feedback, it's important for us to know when developers
are not finding the information they are looking for.
I have responded to your specific points inline:
Issue #1: Valid version numbers
I was unable to locate valid values for version. I tried 1.1.14,
which I understand the current version to be from searching the site,
but that causes a 404. It was only after digging around for examples
that I noticed people using 1. A page describing valid version
numbers should be linked from the word version.
In the API documentation there is a version place marker in the example
request URL. Currently only one version of the API exists, that version is
1. This means any REST API queries will be of the format:
https://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.json
I've updated the API FAQ and Things Every Developer Should Know pages
to include this information.
http://dev.twitter.com/pages/every_developer
https://dev.twitter.com/pages/api_faq
Issue #2: Extremely unclear parameter passing
As this call uses GET, and the documentation lists parameters you
should include, this implies to me that you should use a query string.
The docs list the following required parameters:
* list_id - The numerical id of the list.
* slug - You can identify a list by its slug instead of its numerical
id. If you decide to do so, note that you'll also have to specify the
list owner using the owner_id or owner_screen_name parameters.
As it is not at all obvious how you discover the list_id or
owner_id, I opted to use slug and owner_screen_name. However, if
you
$ curl
http://api.twitter.com/1/lists/statuses.json?owner_screen_name=cnnslug=cnnnews
you get
{error:You must specify either a list ID or a slug and
owner,request:\/1\/lists\/statuses.json?owner_screen_name=cnn}
Notice that the response json lists the request with only the
owner_screen_name parameter. I imagine that 1 or more things went
wrong, possibly including:
1. The API has a bug that is stripping the second parameter
2. The documentation is incorrect, and you may not use slug and
owner_screen_name to retrieve results.
3. The documentation does not properly describe how you pass the
arguments in the query string. Perhaps you're supposed to encode the
entire string. I was not able to discern this.
4. The documentation is incorrect about the url format.
The request you are making is correct. The error is instead being caused
by the way in which you are using your terminal. When using a terminal like
this you need to remember to either quote your URL or escape the 's.
This would make your request look like this:
curl
http://api.twitter.com/1/lists/statuses.json?owner_screen_name=cnnslug=cnnnews
Issue #3: No obvious way to discover list_id or owner_id
user_ids are provided in all API responses which include a user object.
The most common way of getting information about a user is through the
users/show method or users/lookup method:
http://dev.twitter.com/doc/get/users/show
http://dev.twitter.com/doc/get/users/lookup
list_id is available from the index of lists for a user. This request is
the /1/lists request:
http://dev.twitter.com/doc/get/lists
Alternatively, if those values are unknown or you don't wish to look them
up, you can provide the slug and screen_name as you have done in your
example.
Issue #4: Undocumented, un-obvious correct url
I was finally able to retrieve the results using this url, pieced
together from scattered examples.
$ curl http://api.twitter.com/1/cnn/lists/cnnnews/statuses.json
So far as I could tell, the documentation in no way implies that you
could use such a url.
This is the deprecated way of making lists requests. It is documented on
this page of the developer resources site:
http://dev.twitter.com/doc/get/:user/lists/:id/statuses
I hope that helps explain a little bit more about the API. Let me know if
this information is useful or what you would change and we'll see how we can
incorporate it into the docs.

Thanks for providing this information. Are you able to find out what the

I did the curl http://api.twitter.com/1/account/rate_limit_status.xml;

Hi,
A 400 error indicates something in the request you are making is
malformed. Are you using a library to make requests or did you create your
own wrapper?
If you created your own library for making requests you may instead want
to try one of the libraries listed on our developer resources site:
http://dev.twitter.com/pages/libraries
Moving forward, to help identify the cause of the 400 could you share the
the request header and URL you are sending and the API headers and response
body returned. Remember to remove any OAuth secrets from the code you share.

Re: [twitter-dev] Search Api limit
Hi Alessandro,
We've produced a small guide on using search that explains the search rate
limits a little more.
You can find the page here:
https://dev.twitter.com/pages/using_search
In it we say:
The Rate Limits for the Search API are not the same as for the REST API.
When using the Search API you are not restricted by a certain number of API
requests per hour, but instead by the complexity and frequency.
As requests to the Search API are anonymous, the rate limit is measured
against the requesting client IP.
To prevent abuse the rate limit for Search is not published. If you are rate
limited, the Search API will respond with an HTTP 420 Error. {error:You
have been rate limited. Enhance your calm.}.
I hope that explains what is going on,

Re: [twitter-dev] Get Twitter Statuses based on a timestamp
Hi Shashank, The Twitter REST API doesn't allow you to restrict the date returned by date or time but we do allow you to provide a since_id and max_id. If you know the ID of a Tweet that happened after the maximum timestamp you are interested in you could pass it as max_id. Alternatively, if you want to look at data that happened in the last few days you can use the until parameter of the search API. More information about that parameter can be found here. http://dev.twitter.com/doc/get/search One other way you could do this is to monitor Tweets as they happen. By using the Streaming API you can open a connection before the event/time you are interested in, and then close the connection when you don't want any more. To restrict Tweets to one user you can use the filter method and follow one user ID.

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: error 401 from oauth, starting a few days ago
Thanks. I was asking about the code as Taylor made a few suggestions about issues with your code. I was wondering if you had implemented them yet. In particular have you updated your URLs to use the correct domain with the /1 included. For example: http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.xml and have you removed the oauth_token_secret from your authorisation header?

I am developing desktop application referring: http://dev.twitter.com/pages/auth It says just above OAUTH AUTHENTICATION FLOW that The flow varies slightly when using a desktop application with what's called the PIN-mode flow or exchanging login credentials using xAuth. In the last part of Sending the user to authorization section, it also says We'll see how the PIN code is used in the next step. But I cannot find any explanation of PIN code usage anywhere. I wonder I should use PIN code as oauth_verifier. Is it right? I am looking forward to hear your kind advice.

Actually, the signature itself and signature part in authorization header were different! I have urlencoded the signature and again urlencoded the authorization header. As a result, signature was urlencoded twice which came different from once urlencoded signature. I have been thinking it makes no harm urlencoding many times, but it was not. By urlencoding authorization header except the signature part, I have got 200 OK. Thank you so much for your kind support. Say thank you to Tom as well.

[twitter-dev] 401 Unauthorized in Python/Twisted app
Hello all, I'm quite new to OAuth and the Twitter API, and this is my first post to this list. I'm working on an app in Python using the Twisted framework. It uses brosner's fork of python-oauth2[1] to do the initial authentication and subsequent request signing. I'm using the PIN code flow for authentication. Do access tokens need to be generated every time you start the app, or can they be stored between runs and reused? If so, how long are the valid? Right now, my code writes the access token and secret out to a file and recovers it the next time it starts. The procedure seems to go just fine – I don't get any errors – but I can't really verify that everything is Correct because I don't really know what I'm looking for… Second thing, I'm at the point where I'm trying to do the initial connection to https://userstream.twitter.com/2/user.json. I'm using SSLConnect and web.HTTPClient, if that helps… I write out the command (GET url), and the headers (a Host and an Authorization header). The OAuth library generates the following Authorization header content. I get back a 401 Unauthorized error with a WWW-Authenticate: Basic header. I've heard from @twitterapi that User Streams require OAuth, so why am I getting a Basic auth response? OAuth realm=Firehose, oauth_nonce=25622603816219309853125867384777, oauth_consumer_key=cut, oauth_signature_method=HMAC-SHA1, oauth_version=1.0, oauth_token=cut, oauth_signature=1AV5YG4DsfCV4jDoQcOCOmxZ2Gw%3D Anything obvious there that I'm doing wrong?
