[twitter-dev] 401 Unauthorized in Python/Twisted app

2011-06-24 Thread Eryn Wells

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 ), 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="", oauth_signature_method="HMAC-SHA1", 
oauth_version="1.0", oauth_token="", 
oauth_signature="1AV5YG4DsfCV4jDoQcOCOmxZ2Gw%3D"

Anything obvious there that I'm doing wrong?

Thanks,
Eryn

[twitter-dev] Access tokens changing on their own?

2011-06-24 Thread Nicholas Chase

Today, for the second or third time in a couple of months, my 
application access tokens seem to have changed on their own.  My app was 
working fine, and then all of a sudden I started getting authentication 
errors.  I went and checked, and my access tokens had changed.


Do they change regularly?  They they change when I access a particular 
page or something?

PIN-code flow ? Re: SOLVED Re: [twitter-dev] Needs object from desktop application ?

2011-06-24 Thread Ari Endo

Hello Matt,

This is Ari again.
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.

Thanks in advance,
Ari

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?

Re: [twitter-dev] Get Twitter Statuses based on a timestamp

2011-06-24 Thread Matt Harris

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. More information about the Streaming API is here:
http://dev.twitter.com/pages/streaming_api

Re: [twitter-dev] Search Api limit

2011-06-24 Thread Matt Harris

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] OAuth error

2011-06-24 Thread Matt Harris

Hi Sreejata,

Thanks for providing this information. Are you able to find out what the
server is actually sending to the Twitter API. The code you've provided
shows where the error is happening but not what information is being sent to
the API.

Without knowing what is being sent by your code it is hard to suggest
possible causes for the problem.
Do you know which OAuth library are you using?

Re: [twitter-dev] User suggestions and User Suggestions Twitter

2011-06-24 Thread Matt Harris

Hi Denzil,

The suggested user methods return a list of @names which we think users
interested in a topic may be interested in following. As the name implies,
these are just suggestions.

Example calls for both:

> http://api.twitter.com/1/users/suggestions.json
Returns all of the suggested user categories, including slugs. An example
response and more information about the method is here:
https://dev.twitter.com/doc/get/users/suggestions

> http://api.twitter.com/1/users/suggestions/twitter.json
Returns some suggested accounts to follow related to the twitter category.
twitter in this case is the :slug referred to in the documented URL on this
page:
https://dev.twitter.com/doc/get/users/suggestions/:slug

Hope that answers your questions,

2011-06-24 Thread Matt Harris

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.

Re: [twitter-dev] all xauth access token revoke after oauth

2011-06-24 Thread Matt Harris

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.

Get the list of users that your authenticated user is following:

Then compare each of those to your user database and then present to the user.

[twitter-dev] Building a Find your Twitter friends feature for a web app

2011-06-24 Thread @itsmikerudolph

Trying to figure out the best way to build a feature for a web app
thats in dev, what the feature will do is display which of your
twitter friends are registered on the application already. The Twitter
oAuth method is being used as the only way to register for the site
currently. So when a user registeres their unique Twitter id will be
stored into the database. Any thoughts or ideas?

Re: [twitter-dev] How to autologin to twitter by providing the username and password using API?

2011-06-24 Thread Matt Harris

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] Tweets not appearing properly from our app.

2011-06-24 Thread Matt Harris

Hi,

It sounds like you are seeing the effects of our caches updating. This can
sometimes happen but shouldn't be as apparent. Are you request xml, json or
both when you are performing these checks.

I'm not familiar with the platform your application is working on but if the
short caching propagation window is an issue for you I recommend looking at
the Streaming API. The Streaming API will deliver the Tweet to you in the
quickest time possible.

Re: [twitter-dev] Search API for getting tweet counts by date?

2011-06-24 Thread Matt Harris

Hi,

The Search API only keeps it's index for about a week so searches older than
that are not possible. To perform analysis of Tweets like you ask you will
can monitor them as they happen through the Streaming API. Alternatively
some third party services maybe able to offer this information.

Re: [twitter-dev] Can't Get OAuth To Work On My Site

2011-06-24 Thread Matt Harris

Hi David,

Can you explain a little more about your setup and what you mean when you
say it isn't working. For example:

* What language are you using?
* Are you using a library?
* How far in the process does the OAuth flow get?
* Are you seeing any error messages in your code or logs?

If you can share this information we'll be able to provide some guidance on
what to do.

[twitter-dev] Twitter Search API - completeness

2011-06-24 Thread Kstolen Kstolen

The Twitter Search API docs (http://dev.twitter.com/pages/
using_search#)
 say: "Search is focused in relevance and not completeness. This means
that some Tweets and users may not be missing from search results. If
you want to match for completeness you should consider using the
Streaming API instead."

Should this be : "This means that some Tweets and users may be missing
from search results." ?

That would seem to make more sense.

The response body only includes the text of the error message ("This

I included my complete request including all headers in an earlier

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Switching Application Type to "Browser"

2011-06-24 Thread Taylor Singletary

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.

Victoria,

Only Twitter or an experiment with an xAuth enabled application can 
answer this question. It could go either way. That said, I expect that the 
authorization paths, due to the different routes, are independent for xAuth and 
the OAuth path. (I believe the app type is really a choice between three-legged 
browser OAuth and PIN OAuth.)

Twitter folks need to answer this question. 

Good luck.

[twitter-dev] connection reset errors

2011-06-24 Thread Khandelwal

Both yesterday and today, I've been seeing quite a few "Connection
reset by peer" errors. They happen 15 - 30 minutes apart, with
successful queries against the API run in between.

My requests look like the following:

send: 'GET /1/friends/ids.json?cursor=-1&user_id=24912726 HTTP/1.1\r
\nAccept-Encoding: identity\r\nHost: api.twitter.com\r\nAuthorization:
OAut
h realm="", oauth_version="1.0", oauth_signature="", oauth_nonce="",
oauth_timestamp="", oa
uth_token="", oauth_consumer_key="", oauth_signature_method="HMAC-
SHA1"\
r\n\r\n

(The oauth values have been stripped from the request above).

Am I supposed to see these errors regularly? If yes, what should be
the accepted practice? Any advice would be most helpful.

Re: [twitter-dev] xAuth login

2011-06-24 Thread Taylor Singletary

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.

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. Many tweets are going unread.

[twitter-dev] xAuth login

2011-06-24 Thread Sushil

Hi All,

I have a Android application for Twitter. I'm using Twitter4j library
to do xAuth authentication.

I'm facing a problem during login if the device date set as any past
date. Like if today is 24th June and device date set as 23rd June and
when I'm trying to login it gives me following error.

SNS exception :: The screen name / password combination seems to be
invalid.Relevant discussions can be on the Internet at:
http://www.google.co.jp/search?q=e07c50ee or
http://www.google.co.jp/search?q=e7bd
TwitterException{exceptionCode=[e07c50ee-e7bd 1ac06e3f-695622d6],
statusCode=503, retryAfter=0, rateLimitStatus=null, version=2.1.12}

But if the device date is current date then the authentication works
just fine.

I want to know if this is expected behavior ?

Hi

I'm using the search api (for example:

I read here: http://search.twitter.com/api/ this:

"We do not rate limit the search API under ordinary circumstances,
however we have put measures in place to limit the abuse of our API.
If you find yourself encountering these limits, please contact us and
describe your app's requirements."

The limit seems random: sometimes I do 150 requests sometimes 300,
generally, after 5 minutes I can do other requests.

I was wondering if is it possible do more requests

servers. The results are:

CentOS, PHP 5.2.17, and Ubuntu, PHP 5.3.2:

> PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught exception 'OAuthException' with message 'Invalid

I did the "curl http://api.twitter.com/1/account/rate_limit_status.xml"; call
from all the servers and there is no rate limiting affecting the results. I
need it to work from the CentOS, PHP 5.2.17 machine.

What might be the reason behind this behavior and how can I fix it?

[twitter-dev] User suggestions and User Suggestions Twitter

2011-06-24 Thread Correa Denzil

Hi,

I am unable to understand the API for
user/suggestionsand
user/suggestions/twitter
resources.
It would be great if you highlight two particular aspects :


   1. What do these API calls signify?
   2. Example calls for both of these API resources


Thanks,

--Regards,
Denzil

Re: [twitter-dev] Poor documentation. For example, regarding lists. Suggestions for improvement.

2011-06-24 Thread Correa Denzil

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.

Denzil

Re: [twitter-dev] inconsistent data when fetching the stream using location boxes

2011-06-24 Thread Thomas Alisi

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
