[twitter-dev] Re: What uses up my rate limit
Twitter had some issues with incorrect rate limits over the past few days [1]. I believe they've resolved those issues now, so if you're still having the issue you've described, visit the connections page [2] to see if any app using OAuth may be accessing your account. If not, change your password [3], which would prevent any Basic Auth apps (that you've previously given your credentials to) from accessing your account and using up some of your requests. 1. http://status.twitter.com/post/777268689/incorrect-rate-limiting and http://status.twitter.com/post/781763549/investigating-rate-limit-exceeded-issues 2. https://twitter.com/account/connections 3. https://twitter.com/account/password On Jul 7, 11:59 am, founder foun...@pege.org wrote: Just started to integrate twitter into my own CMS written in Perl.

Re: [twitter-dev] getting authenticated user's rate-limit-using rest API.
The rate_limit_status method does not take a username as a parameter. All
account methods act on the authenticating user's account (or in the case of an
unauthenticated call, the requesting IP address). In order to get each other's
rate limit information, you'll need to have both the user's authenticated as
themselves.

[twitter-dev] Re: New way to get highest id?
You could always poll the search API occasionally for a very common term like 'what' and just take the most recent tweet ID from that. On Mar 3, 10:20 pm, Brian Morearty bmorea...@gmail.com wrote: With the upcoming deprecation of /statuses/public_timeline that was just announced, will there be any way to find out the (approximate) highest tweet id? I know the streaming API would work but it seems like overkill. Scenario: in my app I cache tweets for performance and to avoid over- calling the API. If someone references a tweet whose id doesn't exist (e.g. by searching), I'd like to be able to tell the difference between that tweet was deleted and that tweet id has never been used yet. I currently poll the public_timeline once every few minutes. Ids that are missing but are lower than the highest one are considered deleted. As you can see based on my current mechanism, exact precision doesn't matter much to me. A better alternative for this use case would be a deleted indicator (perhaps in the HTTP code?) if I try to retrieve a tweet that has been deleted. It could be different than the code returned if a tweet had never been created.

Re: [twitter-dev] Yet Another Rate Limit Question
GET requests to the REST API (not the streaming API or search API; they fall under different limits) count against the hourly rate limit. If you're making the request as an authenticated user, it count's against the user's rate limit. Otherwise, it counts against the IP address's (your website's IP address's) hourly rate limit. POST requests, such as posting updates, don't count against the rate limit. All methods that require POST requests have other limits, which usually aren't public to prevent spam - see http://help.twitter.com/forums/10711/entries/15364 for details on that. So no, posting an update on behalf of a user won't count against the hourly rate limit. -- Chris Thomson On 2010-02-15, at 7:20 PM, Paul wrote: Sorry; I did look at the FAQ and search the archive, but still the answer wasn't clear to me So far I have an ordinary authorized Twitter web application using OAuth, not whitelisted or anything.

But now it's documented only with statuses/friends_timeline. According to the recent activities on the issue list, it seems to be still officially supported other than friends_timeline. - direct_messageshttp:// code.google.com/p/twitter-api/issues/detail?id=115 - replies (mentions) http://code.google.com/p/twitter-api/issues/detail?id=235 Do you guys have any plan to document it soon?

[twitter-dev] Re: Friendship.create is confusing
To simply follow a person, use friendships create. Notifications are for toggling notifications (updates from a particular user) on/off to the authenticated user's SMS device. Chris Thomson http://twitter.com/chris24 On Tue, Mar 17, 2009 at 5:10 PM, Gary Zhao garyz...@gmail.com wrote: Things still confusing. As per the article, The New Terminology Things are now decidedly simpler: you follow other users, and other users follow you. You can turn notifications on and off on a per-user basis. So looks like Friendship.create is to follow someone and Notification.follow is to turn on notifications. My question is what turn on/off means. I found the only option on twitter.com is to follow/unfollow a user. Can I follow a user but turn off notifications? or it can only be done in program? What's your suggestion if I want to simply follow a person. Friendship.create and Notification.follow, which one should I use?

[twitter-dev] Re: Outdated API documentation refers to /archive?
Yep, the /archive page is gone. The user_timeline method basically replaces it, but you can only go back a certain number of tweets due to technical limitations (the number has escaped me, but it was 3000).

Re: simple tweet this implementation
Not all Twitter clients show the from application text, so it's probably a better idea to just enter the link with the status (and no, you can't modify the from web link when posting from the twitter.com interface). —— Chris Thomson http://twitter.com/chris24 On 20-Nov-08, at 1:05 PM, scottjgo wrote: Hi. I want to add a tweet this link to my website. The idea is that you would click the button, and it would prepopulate the message field on twitter with a link. Ideally, you would authenticate through twitter.com so I can avoid handling passwords. I understand you can use a link like: http://twitter.com/home?status=Putyourmessagehere but is it possible to replace the from web with a link to my website? Without that, it sort of eliminates the cool viral advertising. Is the only alternative to use the real api (and handle passwords)? Thanks. -sjg
