[twitter-dev] Sending 1600 DMs?

2010-07-27 Thread Mark Sievers
http://twitter.com/blekko/status/19714365588

Kind of curious what would happen myself. The call is not itself rate-
limited, and the target must be following you (ie they have opted in)
so this is ok, but wonder if firing off 1600 DMs in the space of a few
minutes raises any red flags in the Twitter mopther ship.

[twitter-dev] API Console malfunctioning

2010-07-21 Thread Mark Sievers
method testing:statuses/friends_timeline

API Console does not seem to be adding parameters to the request URLs.

The equivalent request in cURL works.

Never solved this, the mentions still do not turn up. Will put this
down to a glitch in the matrix.

 Hey Taylor,

 Thanks for the response.

 Yup, still seeing the problem for that block of time/mentions, but
 subsequent mentions are coming through okay.

 Not causing me any particular distress, just thought I would raise it!
 I'll keep an eye out and update this thread if anything changes.

Have since noticed that new mentions are now appearing, yet the
mentions within the time block mentioned above are still not
appearing. Here are two examples of mentions that are not appearing in
my mentions API call:

* http://twitter.com/michaelayates/status/16652366500
  who would have thought a little wooden stick would be the best piece
of engineering in the office last week. Well done @markdsievers

Here are the samples from two API calls:
http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/friends_timeline.xml?count=200
outputs the contents of http://www.filesavr.com/5oCumzqP

http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/mentions.xml?count=200
outputs the contents of http://www.filesavr.com/KsdMpS10

You will notice from the timeline output, statuses 16656725459 and
16652366500 do not appear in the mentions output.

[twitter-dev] mentions API broken?

2010-06-20 Thread Mark Sievers
http://dev.twitter.com/doc/get/statuses/mentions

Just noticed I havent being getting mentions for the past 4 hours via
the twitter.com web client.

Tested and confirmed via cURL ing the API that this is a problem: Test
proceedure was

*cURL friends_timeline using count to get last 200 tweets, confirmed
that 5 mentions exist.
*cURL mentions and confirm that latest 3 are missing. Delta is about 4
hours.

Im testing using a protected account @markdsievers

[twitter-dev] friends/ids returning more users than statuses/friends

2009-09-17 Thread Mark Sievers

For user 728293.

friends/ids returns 154 ids where statuses/friends returns 153 users
over 2 pages. The missing user is 15699041 who actually works in my
office, and whose account is still active and unsuspended.

Has anyone else noticed this behaviour or can explain it?

[twitter-dev] Profile Image Size

2009-08-25 Thread Mark Sievers

Hello All,

My question today is in regards to the size of the profile images
provided via the API. The URL of the cloud hosted image is typically
like this (from the usersShow method)

profile_image_urlhttp://a3.twimg.com/profile_images/72068887/
n528708661_8369_normal.jpg/profile_image_url

This is a 48x48 image, pretty small. By some guess work, I removed
'_normal' from the URL I got and it keys to 200x208 image, but noticed
the profile view on twitter.com actually uses this one.

Does anyone care to comment on the availability of this, the longevity
or if anyone has used this in their 3rd party app reliable for some
period of time?



[twitter-dev] Mobile oAuth

2009-08-19 Thread Mark Sievers

Hi There,

I have a mobile based twitter client in the field and have implemented
oAuth for this client. Some of the devices are either very low memory
or have primitive browsers that dont support the rendering of the
'allow' / 'deny' access page ( http://twitter.com/oauth/authorize ). I
have tried the obvious http://m.twitter.com/oauth/authorize but this
seems to serve the same standard webage.

So Im looking for nat previous info or plans of a lightweight
implementation of oAuth access page for twitter.

Cheers,

[twitter-dev] Finding the intersection of Friends + Followers

2009-04-28 Thread Mark Sievers

Hello All,

So a Friend(someone I am following) can only be Direct Messaged when
they are also following me, ie the relationship is bidirectional.

These two lists can be aquired using statuses/friends and statuses/
followers. However is there a way (without using an O(n2) loop) to
find the intersection of these two sets, ie people that can be direct
messaged?

(This information must be available in a remote location, so this
processing is required up front)

Thanks

M
