Re: [twitter-dev] Grupo Abril (Brazil) - API limits
Ola Marcelo, podemos conversar, e quem sabe posso ajudar a chegar em uma solucao, mas ja posso adiantar para vc que os problemas de limites todos passamos, qualquer coisa me manda um email e falamos melhor. carlos@gmail.com abs Carlos On Wed, Jun 1, 2011 at 3:52 PM, Mario Ramos mario.nogue...@gmail.comwrote: Hi, I work for Grupo Abril in Brazil (http://www.grupoabril.com.br/IN/ index.shtml), the largest publishing group in Latin America with a growing web operation as well. Our flagship magazine, Veja, which is like Time magazine in Brazil, is the 4th largest in the world by circulation numbers. The team I work with would really like to build an app for Twitter but we are certain that the API rate limits would prevent it from working properly and thus I'd like to know if is there any means by which we could work around that. I've tried to reach the partnerships folks at Twitter (at part...@twitter.com) last week, but haven't heard back from them since. The app would be placed in our city guide product for the web. It's focused on what's trendy or upscale just like the New York Mazagine (http://nymag.com/) or Time Out (http://newyork.timeout.com/). It would work just for the city of São Paulo at first but we'd expand it to other major cities across the country afterwards. The city guide is an extension of our flagship magazine (we have Veja São Paulo, Veja Rio etc,). Basically, it's a flirting app for missed connections that would take place in venues listed by our guide. We believe it's a fun way to place Twitter at the heart of an important kind of social activity for urban trendsetters. With our app, users would be able to start conversations via DM anonymously before revealing their identities to one another. That's why we are very confident that we would exceed the API limits on a sustained basis. I'd more than happy to discuss the details of the app before we could move on with it.

We will continue to allow whitelisting privileges for previously approved applications; however any unanswered requests recently submitted to Twitter will not be granted whitelist access. Twitter whitelisting was originally created as a way to allow developers to request large amounts of data through the REST API. It provided developers with an increase from 150 to 20,000 requests per hour, at a time when the API had few bulk request options and the Streaming API was not yet available. Since then, we've added new, more efficient tools for developers, including lookups, ID lists, authentication and the Streaming API. Instead of whitelisting, developers can use these tools to create applications and integrate with the Twitter platform. As always, we are committed to fostering an ecosystem that delivers value to Twitter users. Access to Twitter APIs scales as an application grows its userbase. With authentication, an application can make 350 GET requests on a user’s behalf every hour. This means that for every user of your service, you can request their timelines, followers, friends, lists and saved searches up to 350 times per hour. Actions such as Tweeting, Favoriting, Retweeting and Following do not count towards this 350 limit. Using authentication on every request is recommended, so that you are not affected by other developers who share an IP address with you. We also want to acknowledge that there are going to be some things that developers want to do that just aren’t supported by the platform. Rather than granting additional privileges to accommodate those requests, we encourage developers to focus on what's possible within the rich variety of integration options already provided. Developers interested in elevated access to the Twitter stream for the purpose of research or analytics can contact our partner Gnip for more information. As always, we are here to answer questions, and help you build applications and services that offer value to users.

Hello I've been trying to solve this since Friday to no avail. I've
searched and used tips from a bunch of other discussions here but I
still haven't gotten it right.
I'm using ColdFusion 8 to generate my OAuth signature. These are the
tweaks I've done from tips in this discussion list:
1) For the timestamp I convert to UTC time with this function:
var nowUTC = dateConvert('local2UTC', now());
var epochStart = CreateDateTime('1970','1','1','00','00','00');
var timestamp = dateDiff(s, epochStart, nowUTC);
This results in these values:
nowUTC = {ts '2010-07-05 17:22:30'}
epochStart = {ts '1970-01-01 00:00:00'}
timestamp = 1278346950
2) For the Nonce I use ColdFusion's createUUID function and then,
based on this (http://www.cflib.org/udf/CreateGUID) from CFLib.org I
convert that UUID into a GUID like so:
var uuid = createUUID();
//Convert the UUID to a GUID by inserting a dash in the 23rd
position
var nonce = insert(-, uuid, 23);
This is an example of a resulting nonce:
A3A1648E-F1F0-4032-75F4-712F676BE7E6
3) The most difficult part, and where I'm sure the error is, is the
SHA1 hashing, ColdFusion sucks at it so I'm using Java in the
function:
cffunction name=javaHMAC returntype=string access=public
output=false
cfargument name=signKey type=string
required=true /
cfargument name=signMessage type=string required=true
/
cfscript
var jMsg =
javaCast(string,arguments.signMessage).getBytes(UTF8);
var jKey =
javaCast(string,arguments.signKey).getBytes(UTF8);
var key =
createObject(java,javax.crypto.spec.SecretKeySpec);
var mac = createObject(java,javax.crypto.Mac);
var ret = ;
key = key.init(jKey,HmacSHA1);

[twitter-dev] Failed to validate oauth signature and token using ColdFusion8
Hello I've been trying to solve this since Friday to no avail. I've
searched and used tips from a bunch of other discussions here but I
still haven't gotten it right.
I'm using ColdFusion 8 to generate my OAuth signature. These are the
tweaks I've done from tips in this discussion list:
1) For the timestamp I convert to UTC time with this function:
var nowUTC = dateConvert('local2UTC', now());
var epochStart = CreateDateTime('1970','1','1','00','00','00');
var timestamp = dateDiff(s, epochStart, nowUTC);
This results in these values:
nowUTC = {ts '2010-07-05 17:22:30'}
epochStart = {ts '1970-01-01 00:00:00'}
timestamp = 1278346950
2) For the Nonce I use ColdFusion's createUUID function and then,
based on this (http://www.cflib.org/udf/CreateGUID) from CFLib.org I
convert that UUID into a GUID like so:
var uuid = createUUID();
//Convert the UUID to a GUID by inserting a dash in the 23rd position
var nonce = insert(-, uuid, 23);
This is an example of a resulting nonce:
A3A1648E-F1F0-4032-75F4-712F676BE7E6
3) The most difficult part, and where I'm sure the error is, is the
SHA1 hashing, ColdFusion sucks at it so I'm using Java in the
function:
cffunction name=javaHMAC returntype=string access=public
output=false
cfargument name=signKey type=string required=true
/
cfargument name=signMessage type=string required=true /
cfscript
var jMsg =
javaCast(string,arguments.signMessage).getBytes(UTF8);
var jKey =
javaCast(string,arguments.signKey).getBytes(UTF8);
var key =
createObject(java,javax.crypto.spec.SecretKeySpec);
var mac = createObject(java,javax.crypto.Mac);
var ret = ;
key = key.init(jKey,HmacSHA1);
mac = mac.getInstance(key.getAlgorithm());
mac.init(key);
mac.update(jMsg);
ret = lCase(binaryEncode(mac.doFinal(), 'Hex'));

[twitter-dev] Re: Find out how many direct messages a user has remaining
I was thinking something similar but I think it would probably have to work something like: http://twitter.com/statuses/friends_timeline_number.format and a since_id parameter (this would give you the number of messages since message with that id) number_of_statuses#/number_of_statuses Or for direct messages: http://twitter.com/direct_message_number.format + since_id number_of_direct-messages#/number_of_direct-messages etc... These would be useful for letting a user know how many unread messages they have, or for an app just starting up to get an idea of how much data they'll need to download have aprox. enough info to create a progress bar.

It would be really nice if, via either the API (my preference as it would be less work on your part and fits well with my app), or the UI, you enabled users to block receiving Tweets generated from specific apps. This would then punish the app developers for creating spammy apps and not the users themselves for just using what was put out there, making it much less of a mess to control. Facebook does this, as does FriendFeed. Any chance you could enable this (please???) for Twitter? Thanks, @Jesse

Any particular reason the blocks/exist function returns the information for the user requested if the block exist and a hash error response if not?

So far I had successfully been using a combination of since_id and since requests to collect recent out-of-order posts that were missing in a previous request. I understand there were reasons to drop since requests and I'm sorry not to have voiced my concerns before; however, I'm not sure what's the best way to proceed with the current API in order to minimize the chance of missing posts. At the same time, I'm trying to minimize rate-limited API requests and honor recommended practices - being easy with the servers and all. As far as I understand it, out-of-order statuses are lost forever when using since_id to keep track of the last status returned by the server. Using since_id and then sweeping with unfiltered requests is expensive in terms of API rate limit and server performance. Using unfiltered requests only is not only uglier, but will also force the client to paginate back until a known status has been found, which results in an indeterminate number of API requests (especially for high-volume accounts, which we are determined to support). An idea that comes to mind is to use since_id, but starting from a status a few minutes older than the most current one, instead of the latest. Does this approach sound feasible/reasonable? Is there any idea as to what's the typical time taken for a delayed message until it finally appears in the stream? I'm guessing going back a few minutes would recover 90% of lost posts, does this sound like a correct assumption? Also, are there any plans to deal with this scenario at the API level in the future? Maybe a parameter whereby results are returned by insertion timestamp, irrespective of the time they were created at or the ID they were assigned? Or maybe a free call (as in not counting against the limit) that mimics a standard timeline request but returns *just* the list of IDs? Thanks! @pcuenca - @latenitesoft -- Carlos Crosetti
