[twitter-dev] Finding old tweets
Is it possible, by way of the API or otherwise, to find a tweet that I sent, and it's reply from the recipient, from May 2010? I know the time of the reply (to the nearest minute) if that helps. I know that is a *very* long time ago in the world of Twitter!

[twitter-dev] oaut token secret lengths

[twitter-dev] Xml output of friendships/show api call
Could I ask the Twitter devs to cast some light on the Xml output from friendsships show? Some of it is a little confusing or misleading I thinnk. Here's a real-world sample response I just received: relationship target following type=booleantrue/following id_str58770203/id_str screen_nameharrismonkey/screen_name id type=integer58770203/id followed_by type=booleantrue/followed_by /target source following type=booleantrue/following blocking nil=true/ notifications_enabled nil=true/ can_dm type=booleantrue/can_dm id_str19742345/id_str screen_nametimskipper/screen_name want_retweets nil=true/ marked_spam nil=true/ id type=integer19742345/id all_replies nil=true/ followed_by type=booleantrue/followed_by /source /relationship My confusion arises with the nodes which have a nil attribute. What is this trying to say? For example, /relationship/source/blocking has not valye, but a nil=true attribute. Is this source blocking the target or not? Some clarity would be much appreciated!

I can't help thinking that all these devs up in arms because Twitter have limited use of their (free) service are making twitter apps just because it's the latest bandwagon to jump on, rather than because it's the most suited platform for the task in hand. I personally think Twitter should bin DMs altogether, it seems at odds with what Twitter is all about.

In which case why not ask them to opt-in with their email address and send them an email instead? If they've not, then shame on you for adding to the spam pool.

[twitter-dev] oAuth Authorization Header
Is the order of the parameters important in the Authorization header? Must it match that of the base string used for signing?

[twitter-dev] OAuth Echo, keep getting a 401
Hello,
I am building a service similar to TwitPic but for long messages. I am
using Echo OAuth and I wrote a unit testing script to show you what is
going on
http://api.tweedom.com/unittest/unittest.php
On the back end I am opening the header, unfolding the content in X-
Verify-Credentials-Authorization to rebuilt the OAuth headers and I do
a GET http://api.twitter.com/1/account/verify_credentials.xml
The unit test will show you the content of X-Verify-Credentials-
Authorization and the header that is sent to Twitter.
What am I missing, please?
BTW: I plan to publish extensive code samples about Echo OAuth so that
other developers like me can learn how to do it right and stop bugging
you ;-)
The code of the unit test is
***
define ('oauth_http_provider', 'http://api.twitter.com/1/account/
verify_credentials.xml');
$consumer = new OAuthConsumer(CONSUMER_KEY,CONSUMER_SECRET,NULL);
$access_token = new OAuthToken($access_token['oauth_token'],
$access_token['oauth_token_secret']);
$request = OAuthRequest::from_consumer_and_token($consumer,
$access_token, 'GET', oauth_http_provider,NULL);
$request-sign_request(new OAuthSignatureMethod_HMAC_SHA1(),
$consumer, $access_token);
// clean up the header, Tweedom is like Twitpic, it prefers a clean
list without the 'Authorization: OAuth' label, please
$header = $request-to_header();
# Snip out the Authorization: part, and add a realm to be polite
$real_header = explode(Authorization: OAuth, $header);
$header = 'OAuth realm=http://api.twitter.com/;,' . $real_header[1];
# Keep the spaces between elements, even though we shouldn't have to
$header = str_replace(,, , , $header);
echo 'the http header for X-Verify-Credentials-Authorization: '.
$header.'ppcalling http://api.tweedom.com/1/jumbotweex/new.xmpPResponse:
';
$response = send_echo_request(POST, 'http://api.tweedom.com/1/
jumbotweex/new.xml', $header, $post, oauth_http_provider);
# Evaluate the response
if ($response)
print_r($response);
function send_echo_request($http_method, $url, $auth_header,
$postData, $echo_url) {
$curl = curl_init();
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_FAILONERROR, false);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, true);
// Set our OAuth Echo headers
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array(
'X-Verify-Credentials-Authorization: ' . $auth_header,
'X-Auth-Service-Provider: ' . $echo_url
));
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $postData);
$response = curl_exec($curl);
//echo $response;
if (!$response) {
$response = curl_error($curl);
}
curl_close($curl);
return $response;
}

[twitter-dev] (OAuth) Favorite create and destroy malfunctioning, confirmed in Twurl
Favorite Create do a POST with this url /1/favorites/17983195453/create.xml and you get /1/favorites/17983195453/create.xml Not found I checked, the ID is correct. Moreover this can be easily repro in Twurl to the same result Destroy performing a POST with id as parameter returns /1/favorites/destroy.xml This method requires a GET. Which is garbage since GET is obviously neither the right mode nor in the documentation. Even if one was to use GET and pretend is the right mode, it still does now work (it does not remove the relationship) and it returns a null array. Please fix :-) Thanks!
