[twitter-dev] search api - since date format
hi guys, I have a question about search api about 'until' parameter to be more exactly according to documentation until is Optional. Returns tweets generated before the given date. Date should be formatted as -MM- DD. example: http://search.twitter.com/search.json?until=2010-03-28; I need to know if its possible to set datetime, for example http://search.twitter.com/search.json?until=2010-09-08-19:00; or something like this. according to doc date should be formatted as -MM-DD, but I need inform time, if its possible what would be the string format in this case? is it possible? or how could I get a similar result?

[twitter-dev] Re: search api - since date format
here is my problem I need to catch some tweets since yesterday 20pm until this morning 8am. the problem is that there is more than 1500 tweets that I need, and according to search api docs, I can get a max of roughly 1500 tweets per search query. [...] rpp The number of tweets to return per page, up to a max of 100. http://search.twitter.com/search.json?rpp=100 page The page number (starting at 1) to return, up to a max of roughly 1500 results (based on rpp * page). http://search.twitter.com/search.json?page=10 [...] from http://dev.twitter.com/doc/get/search i'm struggling to build a query where I can get my tweets since yesterday night. any idea?

If you want to cut the search off by certain times of day, you're best off post-processing your results for that kind of resolution.

[twitter-dev] Re: Recent API changes and new fields
Hi Matt Zac Bowling Is there a time line for the streaming API getting these changes? Information like retweet_count, followers_count and friends_count are very volatile and change all the time. would be nice receive this kind of notification when any of these fields are changed. but I guess you woudn't build something like this.

I'll try and answer them all in this message. 1) are the counts turned on? This weekend the counts were turned off and have remained off. This is because of some bugs we found in the way the value was calculated. I'll let you know when we have this resolved. 2) Will thesefieldsshow up in the Search and Streaming API? Thefieldsare already in the Streaming API but be aware the 'retweeted' field is not meaningful here. This is because the streamed status knows nothing of the connected user. The search API does not include this information. 3) How do I know if the feature is turned off? Tweets will contain a retweeted_count if available. If the service is not enabled newer Tweets will likely be missing their retweeted_count. The safest thing to do is code to handle missing values. If they are present use them, if they are not, treat them the same as when the field didn't exist. This way your code works when the retweeted_count is both enabled and disabled. 4) When was the feature turned on? The service was rolled out the week beginning Aug 16th Hope that answers your questions, Matt On Sat, Aug 21, 2010 at 4:33 PM, Joe j...@ajcomputers.com wrote: will we see this in both search and stream API?

The change means the API agrees with the twitter.com in that we confirm a user exists, but that you may not see their information because they are suspended.

[twitter-dev] Re: Recent API changes and new fields
Status.retweet_count!!! this is perfect!!! this is exactly what I need. it makes my life easier. But, I'm testing it right now and I can't find a status where retweet_count is not blank. 1. There will not be a value for this field when the feature is turned off -- how should I know if the feature is turned off or not? 2. the Tweet was created before we added retweet_count support. -- when exactly this feature was enabled? I'm trying with fresh tweets but they are all blank yet.

[twitter-dev] Re: Can I use the Twitter API to get tweets for a specific user and timeframe?
Unfortunately, no. see this thread http://groups.google.com/group/twitter-development-talk/browse_thread/thread/a7802a981c2aedee/15f9705c14e7b96f?lnk=gstq=arian#15f9705c14e7b96f Arian On 16 ago, 01:45, Ben H crusa...@gmail.com wrote: I've been doing some research into using the Twitter API, and I'm not sure if I'm understanding it correctly. I want to get tweets from a specific user for a specific time-frame. From what I can tell, using the search function to specify a date range doesn't work because only the last 7 days are kept. I could just get the tweets and work out the date range with JavaScript, but the documentation states the the max you can get is 200 tweets, so if the tweets from the date range I want aren't in the last 200 I can't do it. Is there anyway I can do this?

[twitter-dev] Re: 'Incorrect signature' on status update with OAuth when verify credentials works
Hi Ryan.
I´m having the same problem with the statuses/update using the php
library provided by Twitter, name as : Twitter-async, as said eco_bach
i verified my signatures and i receive information back on verify
credentials (and no 'incorrect signature' error), it´s really rare
what it´s happening couse some times it works and some times apeear
when a do a ¨$connection-post('statuses/update', array('status' =
$statusStr))¨ the misterious message ¨incorrect signatures¨ as
response. I dont know what to do, becouse i´m following all the stuffs
that are described on the Twitter-async API. It began to happen the
last Tuesday 26th.
My regards.
