Re: [twitter-dev] Question about TT's
Hello there. Obviously this is not the proper place, but since it's being a lot of talking in Brazil, have you heard anything about Twitter monitoring the TT's for political reasons? In Brazil some are saying the Hashtag #dilma13 was somehow pulled off the TT's (it's a brazilian Candidate to Presidential Pools). Also as a Journalist I wonder if that is somehow possible (since Twitter is able to accept a promoted TT) but as far as I know, not Stop a Trending (if really trending). Anyway, thank you all again Emerson 2010/10/12 D. Smith emai...@sharedlog.com I noticed that the value of source field looks somewhat strange: source:a href=\http://www.echofon.com/\; rel=\nofollow\Echofon \/a, Why in the world would you have an html string as a value and on top of than why do you include the rel=nofollow tag? This just looks wrong, not structured. The right way whould have been to represent the source as an object with fileds: name, url, like this: source:{name : Echofon, url:http://www.echofon.com}, Usually you try to pre-parse everying for us, but in the case or source, we have to do extra parsing to extract values of title and url Will you fix this soon? -- 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 -- *Emerson Damasceno http://www.twitter.com/emersonanomia http://www.blog.opovo.com.br/bloganomia/* *http://www.opovo.com.br/colunas/tecnologia/listagemmidiaesocial/* *Tel: +55 85-8697 3224/ 85-3458 1977/ 11- 7356 9693* *Nextel: 55*86*28199* *Damasceno Associados* *Shopping Aldeota 1620/1621* -- 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] Re: Get username from Twitter API
Hello there, I'm speaking on behalf of a third-party Brazilian site that wishes to use OAuth, I ask you these following questions: 1. The site is a Get more Followers kind. In the past had been some issues using OAuth, so the site discontinued that. 2. Is there any problem for this kind of service after the Change to OAuth, on June 30th? 3. If so, what exactly would be necessary to avoid those reported issues? I remain waiting for your answer. Thanks a lot. Kind yours, Emerson Damasceno twitter.com/emersonanomia 2010/6/28 thomas bellostho...@gmail.com Excellent Taylor Thanks a lot I was going crazy with this On 28 Ιούν, 17:19, Taylor Singletary taylorsinglet...@twitter.com wrote: Hi Thomas, There are a few ways you retrieve this information. When you are on the final leg of your OAuth transaction (exchanging a request token for an access token), part of the response that you get back includes the user id and screen name for the authenticating user: oauth_token=819797-Jxq8aYUDRmykzVKrgoLhXSq67TEa5ruc4GJC2rWimwoauth_token_secret=J6zix3FfA9LofH0awS24M3HcBYXO5nI1iYe8EfBAuser_id=819797screen_name=episod (Notice both screen_name and user_id keys) You can also make an OAuth authenticated call tohttp:// api.twitter.com/1/account/verify_credentials.xmland receive the information you're looking for back in either XML or JSON format.

However, I cannot find any info on how I can retrieve the user's username in order to get his details. By user, I mean the one that granted my app permission and for whom the app is making the API calls Thank you -- Emerson Damasceno www.twitter.com/emersonanomia www.facebook.com/emersondamasceno
