[twitter-dev] Retweet chain

2011-03-17 Thread Karthik Murugan
Let us assume:

C follows B. B follows A

A sends a tweet and B retweets it.

C gets the retweet on his timeline and retweets it again.


I'm connected to UserStream of A and I receive both the retweets. But not 
sure how to find the retweet chain

How can we know that C retweeted it via B? Is it exposed in any API methods?

2010-10-13 Thread Karthik
Hi all,

I am trying to achieve paging in my following and followers list.
My page consist of 20 user each.
I am totally having around 400 Following.
So In my application , I want to achieve 20 pages of following list.I
want to navigate Next and Previous pages.

So I am using the below Twitter API:
http://api.twitter.com/statuses/friends.json?cursor=-1count=20

In the Next page , I would be using the Next cursor value of the above
Req response.

With this API , I am able to navigate to all the next pages using next
cursor values given.
But when I navigate to previous pages , I try to use previous cursor
values which always given Blank pages.
I mean whenever I use prev cursor values , the response always
blank(no users present).


Please help me out to resolve this issue.

[twitter-dev] New twitter.com uses an OAuth app called web?

2010-09-21 Thread Karthik
Just read from this blog post (http://engineering.twitter.com/2010/09/
tech-behind-new-twittercom.html), that new Twitter.com is a client to
Twitter API.

I can't help but wonder if,

1) Twitter.com uses an OAuth app called web?

2) Does the site generate OAuth access tokens for every user from
their raw credentials?

I assume you guys don't have exclusive access to basic auth :)

[twitter-dev] Re: List of all users who tweeted in the last 30 seconds

2010-09-10 Thread Karthik
Search API can return only 1500 recent tweets. Real pain is you have
to poll the API 15 times (rpp=100)

Look into the Streaming API. There are lower access levels which can
give you certain proportion of tweets.
http://dev.twitter.com/pages/streaming_api_methods#statuses-sample

But for getting all tweets, you will require Firehose access level.

Remember, you will have keep listening to the Streaming server for 30
seconds, inorder to receive tweets posted during that period.

 Understand that our correction here is a bit sudden; we may make a
 compromise tweak that will restrict future timestamps, but now with a more
 relaxed resolution than 15 minutes -- with the intention to rectify this
 more gradually in the future.

 In the meantime, we strongly suggest clients perform a timestamp sanity
 check. I'll work on formalizing and abstracting the few options developers
 have to make this smooth.

 Some day we'll finally release our improved OAuth 1.0A implementation that

Is it feasible to construct home timeline of any user without using

We could iterate through user's friends graph, gather each friend's

 Hi Karthik,

 Make sure that the time on your device is in sync with Twitter's clocks.

 We return our current time in the Date HTTP header of every
 response. One easy way to fixate an application's clock with our servers is
 to issue a HTTP HEAD request tohttp://api.twitter.com/1/help/test.xml--
 it's a non-rate-limited request and will allow you to adjust your clock in
 relation to ours.

 The oauth_timestamp in your example here is for Dec 31st, 2009.

Yes. But, you don't need a separate Twitter account. Just create an
OAuth app in one of your existing twitter accounts, note down the
OAuth tokens, get your own account's access tokens from My Access
Token link. You can use these tokens to enjoy the 350 per hour limit.

 Hi all,

 Let's say I'm writing a read only app - you come to my website enter
 someones twitter name, and I give you some statistics about them.  I
 can get all the stats I need by making anon calls to the REST api from
 my webserver.

 The API docs say Anonymous calls are based on the IP of the host and
 are permitted 150 requests per hour, where as OAuth calls are
 permitted 350 requests per hour.

 If my app gets popular enough I'd like to make as many calls as I
 can.  What is the protocol here?  Should I create a twitter account
 just for my app, take this account through the OAuth process, and use
 this account's access token for all my requests?

Raffi,

A bit advanced request. Would it be possible to attach list of

this info to categorize tweets and even build a trends list on the

In one of our apps, we use Yahoo Terms Extraction service to extract
phrases from tweets.

[twitter-dev] Re: Upcoming changes to the way status IDs are sequenced

2010-03-27 Thread Karthik
My applications will have an impact in the SQL queries. Right now, to
display tweets in reverse chronological order and with pagination, my
query has something like this:

SELECT * FROM
tweets
INNER JOIN mytable on tweets.id = mytable.tweet_id
GROUP BY tweets.id
ORDER BY tweets.id DESC
LIMIT 100, 20

Having the group and order clause on the same field (tweets.id)
improves the performance. But after this change, I'm forced to use the
timestamp in the ORDER clause.

I have this problem as well. I use since_id and I query for newer
results every minute. For past 10 days, I'm seeing my app was not

the search system.

[twitter-dev] Re: Delay on tweets from the API

2009-10-26 Thread Karthik

Which API method do you use?


[twitter-dev] Re: At Symbol (@) in Twitter Search

2009-10-08 Thread Karthik Murugan

This is strange. Did you also notice that for Non-English tweets
returned from http://twitter.com/#search?q=%40, the user names are
decorated with links to their profile pages?

Well, Twitter doesn't index symbols like @ # $ ^. If you'd like to
gather the tweets containing references to twitter names, you should
use the Streaming API to do so, because Search API doesn't treat @ as
a keyword.

On Oct 8, 3:18 am, Nick t2then...@gmail.com wrote:
 The at symbol (@) does not seem to work when searching tweets.  When
 the @ symbol is alone (surrounded by nothing or whitespace) in a
 search, the search returns 0 English results.  Sometimes languages
 that use non-ascii characters seem to be found.  However, when the @
 is followed by at least 1 alphanumeric character, the query seems to
 work fine.

 I found this by searching for @ the diner downtown, and I was
 getting back 0 results, but at least 1 results should have been
 returned, because that's what I tweeted.  This probably affects
 searches for mentions too, because you can't just search for @.

 I've used the web site and the search 
 API:http://twitter.com/#search?q=%40http://search.twitter.com/search.atom?q=%40

 Has anyone gotten a query to work with @ standing alone?  This there a
 different way to perform the same search?


[twitter-dev] Clarification on location in search API

As per the documentation, when we limit the search results to a

[twitter-dev] Problem with Social Graph API

2009-04-19 Thread Karthik

Hi,

My profile is crictwits. When I invoke the friends/ids social graph
API for my profile, I'm getting wrong results. The total count seems
to be right, but the list isn't. For example, I'm following user
shinils (id is 775881), but this user's id is not present in the list
returned by http://twitter.com/friends/ids.xml?id=crictwits

You can verify that I'm following this user by this call:
http://twitter.com/friendships/exists.xml?user_a=crictwitsuser_b=shinils

Many other friends are also missing in the list returned by the social
graph API. Any clues?
