Well if you are getting, it should reset every hour, so if there is some debugging available there. Also there is a method in the api for seeing your limit status, although I have had inconsistent results there On Jun 18, 2009, at 8:46 PM, markanson wrote: I have a site that is whitelisted but it is only making about a hundred API calls each day (it is in development) and everything was working fine until today Suddenly, when any of the applications I have built call the Twitter API the API returns this: 400 Bad Request Bad Request Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand. The weird thing is, sometimes it returns proper results. But if I try to refresh or repeat the request a minute later, the same 400 error message returns. I am certain that the code I have written is valid, as it was all working properly for over a month and only started showing problems today. What is happening is really worrying for me because I have spent 4 months developing Twitter based application and now things are all falling apart for no apparent reason. The site is here http://nowww.us/ but I have blocked all debugging information so you won't see errors in the main search form. But an example for developers to examine, I have made a page that demonstrates the problem and displays some error details: http://nowww.us/twitter-search.php?q=food&submit=Search can someone help me please?

[twitter-dev] Re: Getting users profile from their username
Yeah, oAuth is the way to go. However, if you just want to grab some
data, you can use the curl function below and the username and
password are your credentials, not the users who profile you want to
see.

[twitter-dev] OAuth and 3rd party apps
Hello, wondering if the following scenario is possible with oAuth. - I have mytwittersite.com - A user authenticates with twitter through oauth on my site. - user posts a pic to twitpic from my site using oauth tokens. With basic auth, very easy to do but it doesn't seem like I can do a single sign on that can execute commands to other third party apps
