[twitter-dev] Re: Can't get any tweet from a particular account using Search Api

2010-12-28 Thread MikeJ
I tried that query and I get nothing as well. Perhaps that account has
never tweeted, or maybe the issue is you need to be mentioned in a
status not just creating tweets -- I am not yet using the search API
so no clue what it looks for.

[twitter-dev] Re: stream API works with some accounts, not others

2010-12-28 Thread MikeJ
I am starting to think this is a bug in the TweetStream RubyGem,
because I am able to track tweets from the command line with curl per
the examples in the stream API docs. So I doubt anyone will have any
insight for me, but I will keep you all updated on my findings just in
case anyone else is running into a similar problem.

2010-12-28 Thread MikeJ
I figured out the problem.

The tweetstream RubyGem is using the function URI.encode on passwords.
If you have punctuation in your password like any good, security-
conscious developer would, then tweetstream will make your password
invalid. Also, it will not produce any sort of error -- it will simply
sit and do nothing (which may or may not be due to how the API is
implemented from Twitter's side).

The short-term solution is to simply change your password and make it
URL-safe.

[twitter-dev] stream API works with some accounts, not others

2010-12-28 Thread MikeJ
I hope this is a simple question. I am writing some code for the
stream API using the tweetstream RubyGem. It works perfectly for my co-
worker and works for me when I use his login, but when I use my own
personal login, or a new login I created just for streaming, it does
not work -- no errors, no limit message, but no tweets are seen. He
suggested that I needed to create at least one app -- maybe that would
register my account as a developer account -- but I tried it and it
didn't change anything. Any suggestions?
