[twitter-dev] Home_timeline after tweet destroy
Hi there... I'm experience something strange, I think... If I do a tweet destroy through my application and after that I get the home_timeline with the property count=20, I'm not getting the 20 tweets that I should get. I'm getting just 19. If I do another tweet destroy and execute home_timeline again, I will get only 18... and so on... Am I doing something wrong? Is there a way to force to get the 20 tweets? Thanks, Luis
[twitter-dev] Re: Home_timeline after tweet destroy
Hi Pascal, Thanks for your reply. What you mean with cursors? I have a way to solve this problem: 1- get the home_timeline 2- count the number of tweets got from (1) and if length 20 I do another home_timeline call with page=2 I think this might work. The problem is, I need to do 2 call to Twitter and I don't think that's a good way... That's the type of solution your mean? You have better solution? Thanks a lot, Luis On Jul 23, 11:13 am, Pascal Jürgens lists.pascal.juerg...@googlemail.com wrote: Hi Luis, I might be wrong there, but I think this is the way it works because of twitter's caching and distribution architecture. You can never assume to get the full amount of tweets or users - some might be filtered, deleted or whatnot. If you need more, just get the next page/set using cursors.

[twitter-dev] Re: Home_timeline after tweet destroy
Hi, Thanks for your replies. @John: I check the documentation (http://dev.twitter.com/doc/get/ statuses/user_timeline), and there says: Count 'Specifies the number of records to retrieve. Must be less than or equal to 200. ' Tell me, f you read this, you associate the Cout option to a 'no more than' or to a 'exactly'? Reading the description I associate it to a 'exactly'... Just that. I have to find another solution for what I'm trying to do. Thanks a lot guys, Luis On Jul 23, 3:48 pm, John Kalucki j...@twitter.com wrote: The count parameter means 'no more than', not 'exactly'. We do read-repair on home timeline status_id-based vectors as we gather the statuses. It's not practical to fan-out deletes to the materialized home timeline vector. In nearly all display cases, displaying 19 or 20 tweets is equivalent. The client is either in a loop, paging through for a since_id, or the user is likely to click more anyway. -John Kaluckihttp://twitter.com/jkalucki Infrastructure, Twitter Inc.

[twitter-dev] Re: Home_timeline and retweets
Well, that dont solve my problem! If I use user_timeline I will get only the tweets and the retweets done by me... I want that, but I want the tweets and the retweets done by my followers (and the ones I'm following) too. Open the following options in different tabs in your browser (imagine your user is called XPTO): 1. login with XPTO account and go to http://twitter.com (this is home_timeline) 2. access http://twitter.com/XPTO (this is user_timeline) Can you see the differences now? Basically I want home_timeline, but with the retweeted_status property when is a retweet!

[twitter-dev] Re: problem with statuses/destroy
Hello, Actually I have that working, and I do noticed some strange behavior too. The thing I notice is, when you delete a tweet from your application, and then if you get the tweets (through the API too) the tweet you deleted before will not be there anymore. So, the thing really works. But if you go to the Twitter webpage, the tweet remains there for a while even if you refresh the page. Is like if the Twitter web page is not synchronized with the results from the API. Maybe you are having the same problem...

[twitter-dev] Re: One account to rule them all: questions
Hi, Thanks for your reply! About the usernames and passwords, I know that we should not send them to twitter. We should give that information in request_token.authorize_url In my application, after I login with the 'main account' I have a link 'add account' that basically send user to twitter again to enter some new credentials: the new sub account credentials that I want to add. What happen is that I'm already login, so I get the message: 'An application would like to connect to your account The application (app_name) by (company_name) would like the ability to access and update your data on Twitter. Sign out if you want to connect to an account other than (main_account).' So, with this I have to options: a) press 'Sign out' I will loose my main account session, but I don't want that... I just want to retrieve the new sub account information from twitter, but keep the same main session. b) If I just press 'Allow' I will get the main account information, that I don't need because I already have it. I want the new sub account information - access token and secret - so I can tweet to that account using just the main account. so the flow is like: enter my application -- press 'login with twitter' --- redirect_to twitter --- enter main account credentials --- redirect back to my application --- 'add account' option --- redirect_to twitter --- NOW WHAT? Do you understand my problem? On Apr 20, 4:05 pm, Taylor Singletary taylorsinglet...@twitter.com wrote: Hi Luis, I first want to make very clear that you shouldn't store logins and passwords. Twitter's API will never return to you the password for a user, and with the exception of using xAuth for Desktop Mobile applications, you should never be sending logins and passwords to the Twitter API. Basic Auth will be deprecated in June and you should basically act as if it doesn't exist now. If your application is a web application, you should be using OAuth to first establish a request token, then send the user to our OAuth Authorization screen where they'll enter their account credentials, after which they'll be sent to the oauth_callback URL (your application) that you specified in the request token step. You'll then exchange that request token for an access token, which you can then store in your database for further use until the permission is revoked by your user. Login with Twitter is not a means for you to store account credentials for re-use through mechanization or otherwise with the Twitter.com website. This diagram illustrates the OAuth flow succinctly:http://oauth.net/core/diagram.png To Kovshenin's point, Twitter will be rolling out a Contributors API feature when it's ready. This allows for a single Twitter account to be managed by sub-accounts, so that @reallycoolcompany's tweets come from @reallycoolcompany but @jessica or @donald who work at @reallycoolcompany don't have to know the account credentials for @reallycoolcompany to tweet from the account. This is still a ways out. Hope this helps clear it up.

Hello people, I'm trying to do something that I don't know if will work. Let me explain the main idea: 1) A user 'login with twitter' in my application; 2) This user should have the possibility to 'add account'. This means that, if a user owns more than 1 account, we will associate the 1st account (the one he logged in: main account) and the new he want to add (sub account). The goal is to tweet to sub-accounts as well as edit sub-account details from main account. The thing is, after I login with the main account, and if a want to add a new sub-account, I have to go to twitter, enter sub-account user and passwords, to get all the information so I can store in my DB. But, when I give this account name and password, I don't want to login (cause I'm already with the main account), I just want to retrieve the information (especially the access token and secret). Is possible to get access token and secret giving the account name and password but without login? Doing that with human interaction would be great, but I need to go to twitter always, right? Any of you have an idea how can I do this? Thanks, Luis Gonçalves -- Subscription settings: http://groups.google.com/group/twitter-development-talk/subscribe?hl=en
[twitter-dev] oauth authentication and Ruby (without rails)
Sorry to bother you, but I'm trying to do something here, but I don't
know if it's possible.
I'm trying to build a system where users send a text message from the
mobile and I need to create a tweet with that message content and the
user credentials that are associated to that mobile number.
I want that my application post tweets with the following structure:
(example2)
(USERNAME_A) message from userA
34 minutes ago via (APPLICATION_NAME)
(USERNAME_B) message from userB
35 minutes ago via (APPLICATION_NAME)
To do that, I registered a new application here:
http://twitter.com/oauth_clients/new
After that I create this code (RUBY):
client = TwitterOAuth::Client.new(
:consumer_key = @consumer_key,
:consumer_secret = @consumer_secret
)
request_token = client.request_token
puts #{request_token.authorize_url}\n
puts Hit enter when you have completed authorization.
pin = STDIN.readline.chomp
access_token = client.authorize(
request_token.token,
request_token.secret,
:oauth_verifier = pin
)
client.update('Tweet test...')
And with this I can tweet using oauth.
But I have 2 questions:
1- Can I use the same application to different users so I can do
tweets like shown in example 2 (diferentes users but the same
application name)?
2- Is there a way to insert the pin automatically without human
interaction? I tried to parse the page, but I think it's impossible,
because the PIN it's not in generated code...
Can you help me?
Thanks
Luis

[twitter-dev] Re: Tweeting with different users but same application?
No batches... We are just building a system where people input their tweets via mobile devices. we are using the database as spool for those messages while they are being send out to twitter. That's why I wanted to have the same application share by different users, so I can have tweets like this: (User) message from (user) 11:38 AM Mar 26th via (application_name) Do you have any kind of solution for this?

A single application posting statuses for multiple accounts. Sounds like many popular and well known applications. If the application is misleading users or posting spam then those are subject to TOS violations and actions by Twitter. Since they are authenticated request the will be per user and not based on the IP. Depends upon the use. A program sending out multiple updates from various users could be construed as spam depending upon the number of messages. and what triggers the twit? Is it an item being inserted or run as a batch all at one time?

[twitter-dev] Tweeting with different users but same application?
Hello people. I have a doubt here... Can you help me? The thing is, I created a twitter account and my own twitter application. Than I wrote a small Ruby program that allow me to post tweets in twitter. So, my tweets are like: (USERNAME_HERE) Tweet from backend ruby code... 11:38 AM Mar 26th via (APPLICATION_HERE) Where USERNAME_HERE is the username associated to the owner of the application and the APPLICATION_HERE is the name of the application I created. This is working. But I want to use the same application to post tweets with different users. Something like: User1 message from user1 11:38 AM Mar 26th via application_test User2 message from user2 11:39 AM Mar 26th via application_test User3 message from user3 11:40 AM Mar 26th via application_test So, in this case you have different users (user1, user2 and user3) using the same application (application_test). Is this possible? Thanks Luis To unsubscribe from this group, send email to twitter-development-talk+unsubscribegooglegroups.com or reply to this email with the words REMOVE ME as the subject.
