[twitter-dev] The New Twitter Developer Site
Today we're launching the new version of our Twitter Developer Site. With over 1,000,000 registered applications and 750,000 developers building on the platform today, we needed a new home to support the Twitter community better. So, we listened to everyone and gathered your ideas. The new site enhances communication channels, offers improved reference material and documentation, and will foster better interaction for everyone who visits it. As you dive in, you’ll notice a number of changes. We focused on tightly structuring the content so it is more easily discoverable and understandable. Because the site will have to change over time to serve the needs of our evolving community, we relaunched it using Drupal, which provides more flexibility, better tools than we had, and a large developer network with whom we can work more closely. The new dev.twitter.com also includes the following highlights: * Discussions - We need a place to talk with each other that gives us more functionality than we have now. So, it’s time to move away from the mailing list. In the new discussions section, you’ll find “Hot Topics” for the most popular conversations. And you can subscribe to the categories and threads that interest you most. Lastly, we created a “Dev Teatime” section to focus on a more social side of the community. We hope to get to know more of you through this feature, so please check it out. https://dev.twitter.com/discussions * Developer Blog - The new blog provides a place to learn about important API announcements, events, tips and how-tos, case studies on great apps, product insights, and more. We’ll be featuring content from a variety of different teams here at Twitter, as well as highlighting great applications built on the platform. We’ll also be featuring guest blog posts from community members. https://dev.twitter.com/blog * Better Documentation - The docs have better structure and searchability and should feel more intuitive. They are easier to update, so you’ll know you are always reading the most up to date information when you’re looking for what you need. https://dev.twitter.com/docs * Improved Apps Management - The new app manager has a streamlined design that provides more comprehensive information for your app. https://dev.twitter.com/apps * Enhanced Search - Powered by Apache Solr, searching the new dev.twitter.com also got a boost. We have a unified search engine with filters and expect results to be more relevant. Also, we can search the archive from our Groups mailing list. https://dev.twitter.com/search Most importantly, this is just a starting point and we really want to hear from everyone. We will continue to add new features based on what we need and what we learn. The site will be an ongoing effort and we’d love to hear your thoughts in the Feedback section of our new Discussions area. We hope everyone enjoys the new site and look forward to making this the best developer site it can be.

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: New Status Using A Query String
Hey there, This has just been deployed. The old status endpoints are now seamlessly redirected (HTTP 301) to the share intent. Please note that we still encourage you to replace these old URLs (i.e. http://twitter.com/?status=hello and http://twitter.com/home/?status=hello) for the Share Intent (i.e. http://twitter.com/intent/tweet?text=hello) Arnaud / @rno http://twitter.com/rno On Fri, Jun 3, 2011 at 3:05 PM, Arnaud Meunier arn...@twitter.com wrote: Bumping this thread to give you guys the last update on this bug.

for this purpose.

Re: [twitter-dev] Web page to see who I have blocked?
Hey, You could use one of these two API endpoints to retrieve who the authenticated user (i.e. you) is blocking: - /1/blocks/blocking/ids to retrieve an array of user ids (more info on http://dev.twitter.com/doc/get/blocks/blocking/ids) - /1/blocks/blocking to retrieve the user objects (more info on http://dev.twitter.com/doc/get/blocks/blocking) Hope that helps, Arnaud / @rno http://twitter.com/rno On Tue, May 24, 2011 at 7:03 AM, TJ Luoma luo...@gmail.com wrote: Is anyone aware of an oAuth-enabled web service which will show me who I have blocked on Twitter? -- 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 -- 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

If you can, I recommend you use header-based OAuth (passing OAuth related

As I now have little time to move from xAuth to OAuth, I would appreciate it if Twitter Support would confirm the following OAuth flow which uses your routes. 1) Use POST oauth/request_token to get the access token needed for the user web dialog. 2) Upon receiving the request token, open a web view using GET oauth/authorize. This is the ambiguous path for mobile devices. It is specified that this path must be used for desktop devices. As a mobile device is really a wireless desktop device, I believe Twitter wants me to use this route in lieu of GET oauth/authenticate. Other vendors also allow the specification of whether this is a mobile device. They then provide a web authorization dialog appropriate for a narrow screen. It does not appear that Twitter offers this functionality.

Re: [twitter-dev] Any current issues with the API?
Just noticed you're not including retweets (include_rts parameter). The count parameter specifies the number of Tweets to retrieve, but the number of tweets you'll receive can be lower (if they've been published by a deleted or suspended user, for example). In your case, it's because you're stripping retweets. On your user_timeline (hope you won't tweet in the meantime): - With retweets (receiving 5 tweets. Note that 2 of them are actually retweets): https://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.json?screen_name=stevenbullencount=5page=3include_entities=1include_rts=1 - Without retweets (receiving 3 tweets because the 2 retweets have been filtered): https://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.json?screen_name=stevenbullencount=5page=3include_entities=1 Hope that helps!

Re: [twitter-dev] Streaming API timeout issues
Hey there,
Please be careful when you share pieces of code on this Mailing List. I had
to reset your Twitter password because you just shared it publicly. Please
go to http://twitter.com/account/resend_password so we can send you password
reset instructions.
Concerning your issue, the Streaming API doesn't timeout. Our servers hold
the connection open indefinitely. Cf this documentation page for more
information: http://dev.twitter.com/pages/streaming_api_concepts#connecting
Looks like you're disconnecting in your while loop. There are a couple of
resources out there (like this Shannon Whitley's blog post:
http://bit.ly/ghavU1) that might help you to build your Twitter Streaming
API Client :)
Hope that helps,

Re: [twitter-dev] how to get the tweet which has hightest retweet count
Hey Journey, There is no dedicated API method to retrieve the most retweeted tweet in a given time window. However, every status object comes with a retweet_count attribute that you can for example use to curate the most retweeted tweets of a timeline, a list... Hope that helps!

[twitter-dev] New API Console Documentation updates on dev.twitter.com
Hey Developers! You might have noticed that we started updating our developer portal yesterday, starting with the replacement of the old Twurl console with Apigee's. If you've never tried Apigee's test console, you should take a look at it! It's a great tool to test and debug your API calls, and we hope you'll like it as much as we do: http://dev.twitter.com/console On the documentation side, we updated our Twitter libraries page, cleaning and merging our old OAuth + Twitter sections. We know lots of you access our resources through open-sourced libraries, so let us know if you think we're missing a good one: http://dev.twitter.com/pages/libraries We've also been working on our API resources documentation (all of them are listed in the right sidebar on http://dev.twitter.com/doc): - Deprecated resources are now grouped in a new Deprecated resources category (for example http://dev.twitter.com/doc/post/:user/lists). On their doc pages we've recommended a new or replacement method you should use instead. - New lists resources have been documented (8 List, 5 ListMembers and 4 ListSubscribers resources) - Redundant streaming resources have been removed and redirected (all streaming API methods can be found on http://dev.twitter.com/pages/streaming_api_methods). - Lots of other API resources have been updated to reflect the way they're actually working today. We know accurate documentation is important for you guys, so please let us know if you think some of our API resources documentation still need some love. We'd love your feedback :) Arnaud / @rno -- 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
Re: [twitter-dev] Can I specify my own URL for the Tweet button?
Hey David, The Tweet Button will share your URL as a t.co link that redirects to the URL you provide (in your case: t.co -- bit.ly -- final destination). If you're using the count box, think also to set the counturl parameter to the final destination. Cf exemple here: http://dev.twitter.com/pages/tweet_button#using-shorturl Arnaud / @rno http://twitter.com/rno On Tue, May 3, 2011 at 3:48 PM, David Harkness dharkn...@gmail.com wrote: Greetings all, Our site currently has a Tweet button for news articles and reviews with correctly styling and retweet count. We are using Bitly to shorten the URLs on the backend, but this has caused us to hit the rate limit. To solve this I created a controller to do the shortening when the user clicks the Tweet button and redirect to Twitter's share URL, and I changed the Tweet button to point to this controller instead of twitter.com. However, the Twitter JavaScript is overwriting my URL. Is there any way to tell the JS API to leave the URL alone so we can call our own URL? Alternatively, are there any analytics available with Twitter's URL shortener that we can access? The only reason we need Bitly is for real-time analytics, and if t.co URLs can provide us the same features we'd be more than happy to use them.

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Twitter4j / showStatus method
Hey Luc,
1) You should not, indeed. But this tweet was probably posted before its
Author turned protected. In that case, it can take some time to reflect on
search results.
2) That unfortunately doesn't help me to reproduce your issue. What is the
exact request you've been making? When? Full HTTP request/response would
help. Concerning tweet IDs, they are not sequential but they are always
increasing (on a 1 second interval). So you could use the since_id parameter
with the last tweet ID you received.
3) If for some reason you lost connection with the Streaming API, you could
still backfill with the same process you're using today :)

Hi Arnaud
Thank you for your fast reply! I have some more infor for you;
1) If the tweet is protected why does it show up in the tweet list? Is
there a way to filter these out? Because if they’re not public and we
cannot read / retrieve it, why are we even notified it exists?
2) We started polling every 15 minutes, but these problems started
occurring when we started polling every 5 minutes. We do not use a
“since_id” contraint, just the date-limited “since” constraint”.
That’s because, as far as we understand, the tweet IDs are not
incremental so using the “since_id” could cause tweets to be missed.
By using “since”, using the last retrieval date, then looping through
the results until we find an older result, should give us all new
tweets.
We currently do not use the streaming API because we can’t miss any
tweets. If our retrieval application goes down for 15 minutes for
maintenance, we won’t get any notifications. By using a date-limited
query (why isn’t there a date/time limited query?) through the search
API we can get everything since our last retrieval run, as long as the
number of tweets does not exceed 1500 (Twitter’s maximum number of
results for a query).”
Thanks in advance!

Re: [twitter-dev] Geolocation and Twitter API
Hey Padma, This location attribute is specific to geo searches (search API requests with geocode parameter), and reflects the way tweets are matched: - It is taking the Geo attribute if the tweet is geotagged. - Otherwise, it fallbacks to the tweet author's location (as defined in its profile). By the way: If you're looking for precision, you should take a look on the Streaming API (statuses/filter method with the locations parameter). Only tweets created using the Geotagging API will be matched this way (no fall-backing to Twitter profile).

Re: [twitter-dev] API requests redirect my server to /suspended
Hey Thomas,
/statuses is not a valid API endpoint, and our routing system assumes
you're trying to reach the statuses account, which is suspended (cf
http://twitter.com/statuses).
Take a look on our timeline resources on http://dev.twitter.com/doc and use
one of these endpoints (for example /1/statuses/public_timeline.json)

It seems retrieving the full tweet + user data for each tweet
(showStatus method call) counts as a hit so we're hitting our limit
really quickly. Do you think there's a way around this or an obvious
solution we don't see? whitelisting?

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: /1/lists/show doesn't work when given a list slug
Hey there!
There are two ways to identify a list with the new endpoints:
1) With the list_id parameter. For example:
- http://api.twitter.com/1/lists/show.json?list_id=574
2) With the combination of slug AND (owner_id OR owner_screen_name)
parameters. For example:
- http://api.twitter.com/1/lists/show.json?slug=teamowner_id=783214
-
http://api.twitter.com/1/lists/show.json?slug=teamowner_screen_name=twitter

Hey Leo, We're indeed using Snowflake (a Tweet ID generation service we developed).

In general, at the moment with Twitter, you could assume they increase over time, but (and I don't work for Twitter) typically ID allocation on large multihost systems don't work by allocating strictly sequential IDs without gaps - it's too hard to sequence and not really necessary. So, for example, one way is that you build a system that gives different ID-assigning-hosts small blocks of IDs that they can use so they can allocate a series of IDs knowing they're unique without having to take out any kind of global lock (they only take the lock to ask for a new block every now and then). Another approach might be to have clocks synchronised to some known accuracy and have IDs calculated as period-since-epoch * some-suitable-multiplier + unique-offset-per-host + incrementing-counter-for-this-host. I'm sure people can come up with other schemes as quick as we could type them up, but in general you make your ID space many orders of magnitude bigger than you strictly need, and in return you gain some flexibility in the criteria needed for quick and cheap unique allocation in a distributed system.

The last step of the OAuth dance (exchanging request_token for access_token) will give you an oauth_token and oauth_token_secret. You'll just have to sign your requests with those.

Hey Vijay, If you retrieve your account's tweets through the API, you'll see each status object has a source attribute.

Hey Alin, What do you mean by *I authenticated, verified the credentials and ** queried*? In this context (API call) authenticating means signing your request using OAuth.

Re: [twitter-dev] weird things with statuses/user_timeline
My guess is you probably just received an HTTP 502 (FailWhale) at some point, this breaking your loop. What was the last HTTP response you received (including headers)? If it's a 502 error, just handle it in your loop (i.e. retrying after 10 seconds), and eventually reduce the count if that happens too frequently.

Re: [twitter-dev] X-Ratelimit-Reset, Retry-After, and what the actual values mean
Hey Tom, You probably want to pay the most attention to the X-RateLimit-Remaining header, which is the number of requests you can make before being rate-limited. It's a good practice to monitor this value and throttle your requests if necessary. The X-RateLimit-Reset timestamp indicates when you'll recover the maximum number of Hits (X-RateLimit-Limit) for the class (X-RateLimit-Class) your request falls into.

Re: [twitter-dev] Twitter search api rate limit
Search API rate limiting is not handled like other endpoints of the REST
API. As explained on http://dev.twitter.com/pages/rate-limiting#search, the
Search Rate Limit isn't made public to discourage unnecessary search usage.
Concerning the User-Agent, use something like Your App Name - Version (it

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.

Re: [twitter-dev] Missing images on Trademark Guidelines; T logo resource
Hey Abby, You won't be able to find the t logo because we replaced it with the bird logo. As stated in the page you linked to (Guidelines for use of the Twitter trademark - http://support.twitter.com/entries/77641) you should use the most recent version of our logos (which is a bird if you're looking for a small icon).

Re: [twitter-dev] Search API: Secure profile image URLs
Hey Jacob, Valid SSL certificates are installed on si[0-5].twimg.com subdomains. On your SSL served pages, you could simply replace http://a; with https://si;. Example for the @twitter account: - HTTP: http://a3.twimg.com/profile_images/1124040897/at-twitter_normal.png - HTTPS: https://si3.twimg.com/profile_images/1124040897/at-twitter_normal.png Arnaud / @rno On Tue, Mar 22, 2011 at 4:37 PM, Jacob jacob.h.p...@gmail.com wrote: Our application can sometimes be rendered within an HTTPS URL. To avoid mixed security content warnings in browsers, we were able to selectively convert our search API calls so they use HTTPS. However, the profile image URLs returned by the search API are HTTP URLs, and changing the protocol to HTTPS doesn't work (it seems like the image servers don't support HTTPS). This causes a mixed content warning when we render those URLs as HTML images. I would be OK with us having mixed content, but IE8 is particularly bad at how it confronts users with this condition.

Re: [twitter-dev] Bad Word Filter
Hey Alex,
I don't know in which context you plan to use this search widget, but trying
to make your search results kid-friendly with simple bad-words filtering
doesn't look very realistic. What about a manually curated list of tweets?
Did you have a chance to take a look on the Faves widget, for example?
Now if you want to use search, you can host modify the widget.js file. But
if you just need to hide the join the conversation link, a simple CSS
rule will do the trick: .twtr-join-conv { display:none !important; }
Obviously, that CSS rule might become useless if the widget markup changes
in the future.

Hey All,
We have a client that wants to use a twitter filter on their site, but
wants to filter out about 100 or so bad words (kids content). We have
been using negations but when you click join the conversations they
all show up with a -bad word at the top of the page.
Does anyone have advice on how to create a CUSTOMIZED twitter widget
that has bad word filtering and doesn't expose the filter upon click?
We tried TidyTweet, and could not achieve the needed level of custom
look and feel.
Thanks!
Alex

Re: [twitter-dev] Tweet button over HTTPS
Hey Felipe, If you checked the Always use HTTPS box in your Account settings, the Share this on Twitter popup (that appears when you actually click the button) will be served over SSL. However, the button itself doesn't work over SSL yet (cf: http://dev.twitter.com/pages/tweet_button_faq#https). We're working on it.

[twitter-dev] Re: Twitter app on iPhone
Which features are you actually thinking about? Except the « Signup » feature, I didn’t see anyhing that couldn’t be reproduced on another third party client using the Twitter API… Arnaud Meunier | @twitoaster http://twitoaster.com On 19 mai, 13:17, Rich rhyl...@gmail.com wrote: So Tweetie is now Twitter and has features that no other API client can offer. How about giving us access to features that the new Tweetie has that there is no public end point for such as signing up for an account or suggested user lists?
[twitter-dev] @Anywhere and Usernames (15+ chars) question
Enjoying a free Saturday afternoon, I was playing with @Anywhere and I noticed something quite strange related to Twitter Usernames. The @Anywhere documentation says A Twitter screen name is an '@' symbol followed by 1 to 20 alphanumeric characters, including underscores The problem is… I thought a Twitter Username could not exceed 15 characters? Try to create / change your username to something longer than 15 chars: you can’t. But @Anywhere JS is still trying to add Hovercards to these strings (@15+ chars) that cannot match any Twitter User. Is it a bug? A confusion with “Real Names”? A necessity because of a previous policy (can’t remember if you could create 15+ chars Usernames in the past)? Or do you plan to allow usernames longer than 15 chars in a near future? Was just wondering :)
[twitter-dev] Re: Chirp tracking on MadChat
Nice! But... I couldn't miss this opportunity to share my own version of Chirp tweet tracking page, focused on conversations! :p http://twitoaster.com/twitter-chirp-conference/ It threads in real time all attendees' conversations, displaying their discussions rather than disjointed tweets. Arnaud - http://twitter.com/twitoaster On Apr 12, 11:53 pm, Chad Etzel jazzyc...@gmail.com wrote: Hi all, I have setup a special Chirp tweet tracking page on MadChat (an as of yet unreleased site I've been working on) so folks who are not at the conference (or even if you are) can easily read all of the Chirp chatter. It is intentionally minimally designed to look like a chatroom and have no avatars, so you get the max text-per-screen ratio. Bonus points if you use the Terminal Skin under Settings. The url ishttp://madch.at/chirp It is tracking the #chirp hashtag as well as all @chirp mentions. There is little happening there right now, but I wanted to get the word out. It's using the Streaming API, so it feels just like a chatroom. To reply to a tweet, just click on the username on the lefthand side of the chatroom to link the reply to that tweet. Stuff you type will be tweeted out once you hit Enter, so be mindful of that. Anyway, hope this helps some people be able to monitor the backchannel of tweets and is another cool example of what you can do with the Streaming API. chirpity chirp, -Chad
