Re: [twitter-dev] TweetDeck technical problem

I'd have thought calling verify_credentials would do it - you'll get a 401 and a specific error message to tell you that the key is no longer valid.

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Home_timeline and retweets
I don't think that you're doing anything wrong - it's just a quirk of the API - you don't get any info in your home timeline on stuff you retweeted. I think this is because of the condition that you should never see a retweet if you would have seen it already in your timeline. This stops you from seeing the latest popular tweet retweeted 100 times from each of your followers if you follow the person who originally tweeted it. However, I guess it also stops you seeing that you have retweeted a tweet, as theoretically you've already seen it. I think I've made that more complicated than it actually is...

All authenticated requests will be moving to OAuth (either version 1.0a or the emerging 2.0 spec). There are many benefits from this change. Aside from the obvious security improvements, having all requests be signed with OAuth gives us far better visibility into our traffic and allows us many more tools for controlling and limiting abuse. When we know and trust the origin of our traffic we can loosen the reigns a lot and trust by default. We've already made a move in this direction by automatically increasing rate limits for requests signed with OAuth made to the new versioned http://api.twitter.comapi.twitter.com host. One of the often cited virtues of the Twitter API is its simplicity. All you have to do to poke around at the API is curl, for example, http://api.twitter.com/1/users/noradio.xml http://api.twitter.com/1/users/noradio.xml and you're off and running. When you require that OAuth be added to the mix, you risk losing the simplicity and low barrier to entry that curl affords you. We want to preserve this simplicity. So we've provided two tools to let you poke around at the API without having to fuss with all the extraneous details of OAuth. For those who want the ease of the web, we've already included an API console in our new developer portal at http://dev.twitter.com/console http://dev.twitter.com/console. And now today we're glad to make available the Twurl command line utility as open source software: http://github.com/marcel/twurlhttp://github.com/marcel/twurl If you already have RubyGems ( http://rubygems.org/http://rubygems.org/), you can install it with the gem command: sudo gem i twurl --source http://rubygems.orghttp://rubygems.org If you don't have RubyGems but you have Rake (http://rake.rubyforge.org/ http://rake.rubyforge.org/), you can install it from source. Check out the INSTALL file ( http://github.com/marcel/twurl/blob/master/INSTALL http://github.com/marcel/twurl/blob/master/INSTALL). Once you've got it installed, start off by checking out the README (http://github.com/marcel/twurl/blob/master/README http://github.com/marcel/twurl/blob/master/README) (you can always get the README by running 'twurl -T'): +---+ | Twurl | +---+ Twurl is like curl, but tailored specifically for the Twitter API. It knows how to grant an access token to a client application for a specified user and then sign all requests with that access token. It also provides other development and debugging conveniences such as defining aliases for common requests, as well as support for multiple access tokens to easily switch between different client applications and Twitter accounts. +-+ | Getting Started | +-+ The first thing you have to do is register an OAuth application to get a consumer key and secret. http://dev.twitter.com/apps/newhttp://dev.twitter.com/apps/new When you have your consumer key and its secret you authorize your Twitter account to make API requests with your consumer key and secret. % twurl authorize --consumer-key the_key \ --consumer-secret the_secret This will return an URL that you should open up in your browser. Authenticate to Twitter, and then enter the returned PIN back into the terminal. Assuming all that works well, you will beauthorized to make requests with the API. Twurl will tell you as much. If your consumer application has xAuth enabled, then you can use a variant of the above % twurl authorize -u username -p password \ --consumer-key the_key \

Re: [twitter-dev] complete Retweet functionality in thirdparty apps
Abraham, Are there any plans to make this any easier for developers to implement retweets-of-me in the short term? The best solution (for client devs) would obviously be a stream of the latest retweets, with the full original status object inline, but as it looks like this isn't going to happen, any chance of at least adding a retweet_count or last_retweeted_id node to the retweets_of_me statuses? That way we'd be able to intelligently use statuses/retweets for only the tweets which have new retweets, rather than burning through API requests checking multiple tweets every time. This has become a bit more of an issue as it appears that new style retweets have stopped appearing in search results, so users can't even workaround this by using a search for their username.

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: statuses/followers incorrectly ordered
Hi Wilhelm, Thanks for the follow up, The Twitter web site is still showing followers in the correct order - is this not something that can be extended to the API, and if not, why the disconnect? Thanks, Tom On Wed, Dec 2, 2009 at 7:32 PM, Wilhelm Bierbaum wilh...@twitter.comwrote: Your observations are correct. Ordering cannot be guaranteed because of the way we store the graph. I'll make sure that we update the documentation to reflect this fact. On Dec 2, 7:45 am, tom tswool...@gmail.com wrote: Hi All, We've recently seen a change in the ordering of the users that the statuses/followers method returns - according to the docs, this method should be returning the users in this order: They are ordered by the order in which they followed the user. However, they now appear essentially unordered - doing a simple curl call shows that we're not even getting the latest 100 users back. This is causing some problems in our app as we depend on the ordering being as documented. Has anyone else noticed this? Can anyone from Twitter confirm? Thanks, Tom

[twitter-dev] Re: Laying the foundation for API versioning
Hi John, I'm still getting SSL issues with api.twitter.com - it seems like some attempts get the wildcard certificate, some get the old one. This is using Chrome and AIR.

[twitter-dev] Re: Tweets Dataset for academia?
Hi Atul, There is a fairly significant corpus of tweets available, although it is fairly old - see here: http://www.mail-archive.com/twitter-development-talk@googlegroups.com/msg05715.html. I believe that the second part has expired, but you should be unable to use the first part - it is several million tweets worth. All the best, Tom On Wed, Oct 14, 2009 at 5:55 PM, Atul Kulkarni atulskulka...@gmail.comwrote: Thanks, John. I am not only looking at hash tags, but also other things that go along with tweets. I will keep in mind. I was actually curious about Twitter's policy on this. What is there take on releasing a certain dataset of say some random X number of users.
