[twitter-dev] How to tell an item is a re-tweet?
Hi all, I'm trying to implement similar functionality to the home timeline on twitter where re-tweets appear as such and you have the option of undoing it. The trouble is I cannot tell if a status is a re-tweet or not. Statuses on the home timeline appear to include a re-tweeted parameter but it is always false regardless of the fact I've re- tweeted that item. Can anybody offer some insight on how to do this?

[twitter-dev] Re: How to tell an item is a re-tweet?
Actually, allow me to re-phrase that: how do I know if I've re-tweeted an item? I would like to prevent users from re-tweeting the same status multiple time. So similar to the home timeline on twitter where they have the Undo functionality for re-tweets. Sorry if I caused any confusion...

[twitter-dev] Getting the latest status
Hi all, I was wondering what the best way to get a user's latest status is. Right now I am using the verify_credentials call to do it, since I don't really know the user Id from the OAuth flow. The trouble with this approach is that the result doesn't always include the status. Is there a better way of doing this, maybe I'm totally missing something obvious. BTW, the project I'm on uses heavy JavaScript and a C# backed to proxy Twitter API calls.

Hi Matei,
The simplest way to accomplish this would be a single GET request.
GEThttp://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.xml?screen_name=twitt...
If you weren't interested in processing retweets, you could omit the
include_rts=true parameter, but I would bump the count to at least 5 since
disincluded retweets still apply to the count parameter's calculations.

[twitter-dev] home_timeline count
Hi all, I was wondering if there is an good way of getting a count of statuses in home_timeline. I have to implement a Load more feature which loads more tweets if they are available. The issue is with available part. The API doesn't reliably return 20 unfortunately so I can;t simply hide the button when I get back a count of less than 20. It also doesn't return a total count so that I can verify I've reached the end that way. Is there any way of doing this? The API keeps me guessing... :) Cheers, Matei -- 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?hl=en
[twitter-dev] Re: Twitter logout - hate to open this can of worms again
Thank for the replies everyone. It's unfortunate there's no good solution to this. Since we only do this the first time a user authorizes the widget as some of you have mentioned, it mitigates the issue somewhat. We'll probably try to notify the user to log out from the twitter site manually.
