[twitter-dev] Re: Twitter JSON feed falls out with php
You are accessing API in an unauthentic way and without oAuth, and you
are running out of API calls. You can add a service method to track
remaining API calls that you have left to confirm this, e.g,
http://api.twitter.com/1/account/rate_limit_status.{xml | json}. You
can research from thousands of PHP tutorials and examples out their
and improve your code base to use oAuth.
Check out http://dev.twitter.com/pages/oauth_single_token to start
into oAuth for your single user feed application.

[twitter-dev] Re: oAuth with twitpic or yfrog photo uploads in mobile apps
Frank - A lot of the existing examples you see on the Internet use basic oAuth, but these are just old examples, and you must use oAuth. It's possible to make it work - I've made a basic TwitPic prototype, so I know it's doable. (Still working on 4sq tho!) You simple need to master the oAuth process, plus you have to deal with the IMAGE upload and submittal process. Here's the PHP tutorial that helped me master TwitPic image uploads - http://shkspr.mobi/blog/index.php/2010/05/howto-twitpic-and-oauth And, here's some file uploading background info as a good reference - http://www.w3schools.com/PHP/php_file_upload.asp ~Patrick On May 28, 6:55 pm, Frank Ash nut...@gmail.com wrote: I am having some trouble integrating either yfrog or twitpic into my app. All the others I see are asking for users names and passwords inside the app, and not using oauth.

[twitter-dev] Re: How to create a website using twitter on a local machine?
KiTe, Twitter has provisioned a way for developers to handle this Dev issue. Add to your hosts file local.dev, and use 127.0.0.1 as the IP. Then use http://local.dev/ as the prefix with whatever files you develop locally, e.g, http://local.dev/myapp/index.php. Register your new app at Twitter: https://twitter.com/apps Then, go to https://dev.twitter.com/apps and click on the given app you made, and click on My Access Token, and copy both the token and token secret. Populate your app with those. That way, when you access your local development server via http://local.dev/... the call back won't really happen, instead you will hardwire your app to use the token and token secret, which you just got from the dev.twitter.com web site. You can then build if-then branches - if local.dev, use my development tokens; otherwise, the real callback process and get the user token and token secret and initialize things. It takes time and research to master the process, but it's fun. Good luck. ~Patrick On Apr 22, 3:02 am, kite 68...@supinfo.com wrote: Hello, I want to create a website using the twitter API (through linq to twitter) for schooling purpose, but I do not have a server to host it.

[twitter-dev] Re: localhost testing of Oauth
Yes, you can do this with epiTwitter (php) or twitter (ruby) gem, etc, etc, to do that. Once you develop the code via localhost, you then set it up on the Internet with your code to authorize with twitter, exchanging request tokens for access tokens, if you want different users to use your program, saving their tokens to session variables or a database for further calls. You need to initialize your given library's oauth object with consumer key, consumer secret, and access token and access secret. Recently, for example, I was trying to figure out how to do a localhost setup with ruby twitter_oauth, but I couldn't figure it out. But I did get it working with the twitter ruby gem instead. I guess I will just use that gem instead of twitter_oauth gem. ~Patrick On Feb 3, 3:57 am, Ashim ashimkap...@gmail.com wrote: Dear All, I wish to try Oauth on Mediawiki.

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Upgrading from Read to Read / Write access for OAuth API Key
Apparently there was a bug before (which I now recall), where if the developer set it to read only, and subsequently changed it to read-write, it wouldn't really change to read-write. However, per earlier conversation in this thread, that issue appears to have finally been fixed. So, if you, as the developer, decide to switch an app that is currently read-only to read-write, it will finally offer the read-write functionality. As a developer, you get to choose that functionality - it won't change without your approval. ~Patrick On Mon, Jan 31, 2011 at 1:45 PM, Tim Bull tim.b...@binaryplex.com wrote: While this makes me happy (from a developers point of view), surely this is a bug and therefore not to be relied on?

Yes, Twitter requires a callback URL. Make a test page to display (or save to file) your oAuth tokens. Embed those tokens into your local test page (and remove that helpful test page on hosted server). Develop locally, and add if-then blocks, depending if you are local or remote. That way, you can develop locally, and upload same file, as it will work for the remote as well.

Re: [twitter-dev] Testing Twitter API webapps
My explaination is more language agnostic, and works for an oauth web flow. But I like your RoR idea, and it sounds like there is support for localhost development to some extent. I suppose /authenticated is the controller. How the terms dev, stage, prod fit into the rails design paradigm is less clear. Can you clarify that or provide a simple example? Thanks for any insights.

Your app should work the same regardless of the server/environment it is running on. I also have different twitter accounts for dev/stage and prod. My prod twitter account is http://twitter.com/imby while dev stage are http://twitter.com/imbyTest That way the @imby lists and feed does not contain test tweets and whatnot. Again, this is contained in a config file so that prod = @imby and everything else = @imbyTest On Fri, Apr 23, 2010 at 12:19 PM, Patrick Kennedy kenned...@gmail.com wrote: Yes, Twitter requires a callback URL. Make a test page to display (or save to file) your oAuth tokens. Embed those tokens into your local test page (and remove that helpful test page on hosted server). Develop locally, and add if-then blocks, depending if you are local or remote. That way, you can develop locally, and upload same file, as it will work for the remote as well. When remote, instead of saved tokens, use the live tokens from the handshake process. ~PK On Fri, Apr 23, 2010 at 7:13 AM, kaps kap...@yahoo.com wrote: Hi, How do you folks test your Twitter apps before uploading them to your hosting servers?

Re: [twitter-dev] Strange problems with Twitter API
I also use epiTwitter. Using 'localhost' has worked for me, but
sometimes it breaks, and I now prefer 127.0.0.1.
As you note: after successful authentication with Twitter, it works
fine for the first time until page refresh. This means the oauth
tokens are not saved into session variables, a database, or cookies
for next use, such as on a page refresh. You need to save the tokens
for future access.

From past few days, I am trying to get the EpiTwitter library work for
me. But, it is behaving in unusually.
I am on Fedora 12 with PHP 5.3.2. It's my development box.
Here are the issues I am facing.
1.When I made a simple script with the method *getAuthenticateUrl* and
accessed it from http://localhost/ , it wasn't working and threw
errors(below) . But when I accidently tried http://127.0.01./ it
worked.

2.After successful authentication, when returned to my script, it
works fine for the first time,when it is actually redirected by
Twitter.But when I refresh the page, it throws the following error -

thrown in /var/www/html/twitter/classes/EpiOAuth.php on line 395
Should this be problem with my server or cURL installation? When I
checked phpinfo(), cURL was enabled, but when I had a look in
Configure Command section, I saw this
'--without-curl'
Is there any relation of this with the errors?
Also, I was unable to access the responseText and the try-catch
combination with $e-getMessage(); didn't yeild any results.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Re: [twitter-dev] Undefined Index Notice with PHP w/ statues/mentions method
That just means you have PHP set to display helpful errors, such as
the use of a variable that was not initialized before first use. The
hosting service will likely have these errors turned off. You can
edit the library and correct such notices, or you can just use them as
feedback on your locahost dev server.

[twitter-dev] Basic Auth deprecation coming
