[twitter-dev] Annotations

[Rob]

When will annotations going to be returned via the REST api ? Or are
they  already?  If the latter, what flag (e.g. ?
include_annotations=1) is required?

[twitter-dev] Recipe for getting Follow button working on an https website?

[Rob]

I'm trying to add a follow or tweet button to a site that uses https
by default.

My choices appear to be scare my users with a "insecure content on
page" or, if I change the url to https://platform.twitter.com/, an
"invalid certificate" error.

Is there an easy recipe for this?  Google reveals hacks like copy
everything local.

Why doesn't https://platform.twitter.com/ have a valid certificate?

[twitter-dev] Rate limiting - per user or per application key?

[Rob Wilson]

Hi,

I am writing an iPhone application that uses the Twitter API, using oAuth.
Could you please clarify that the 350 requests per hour are tied to the
logged in user and not the application key?

If not, do I need to white-list to prevent this becoming a problem?

Cheers,
Rob.

[twitter-dev] Re: consistency and ecosystem opportunities

[Rob Aldred]

I agree, this is very short sighted of them to assume theirs some how 
better, or all people need.
I hate the Mac official client, they've bought Tweetie and made it worse, 
they've removed features and added a raft of bugs.
I use the original Tweetie on Mac and Seesmic on my Android.

Thankfully there are some decent programmers out there.

Re: [twitter-dev] Request hometimeline with COUNT=1 returns 20-30 tweets.

[Rob Wilson]

Hi,

If you go to http://dev.twitter.com/console and choose
statuses/home_timeline.json, then type count in the parameter field
then 1 in the parameter value field, the result is many tweets,  not
one.

The 'request' tab doesn't show the parameter anywhere, I also tried
added three other parameters and they don't show up... should they?...

opening connection to api.local.twitter.com...
opened
<- "GET /1/statuses/home_timeline.json HTTP/1.1
Accept: */*
Connection: close
User-Agent: OAuth gem v0.3.4.1
Authorization: OAuth oauth_nonce=\"xxx\",
oauth_signature_method=\"HMAC-SHA1\", oauth_timestamp=\"1299691694\",
oauth_consumer_key=\"xxx\", oauth_token=\"xxx\",
oauth_signature=\"xxx\", oauth_version=\"1.0\"
Host: api.local.twitter.com:9000

My iphone application uses MGTwitterEngine and the variables indicate...

Request https://twitter.com/statuses/friends_timeline.xml

parameters (objective C dictionary - this will be mapped to paramters
in the request somewhere in their API)

"{
count = 1;
}"

Cheers,
Rob.

[twitter-dev] Request hometimeline with COUNT=1 returns 20-30 tweets.

[Rob Wilson]

Hi,

When my application first starts up, I want to display only the very
last tweet, so I ask for the timeline with the COUNT parameter set to
1, oddly I then receive say 20-30 tweets.

I then plan to periodically ask for any new tweets since the highest
ID last returned, then keep repeating the request for new tweets.

Why do I receive more than one tweet in the return?  If I set it to 20
or 30, I still get the same size XML returned.  I've tried it with a
PAGE=1, but that didn't seem to make any difference.  The API
documentation implies that this should all be okay; it should return x
tweets.

Thanks,
Rob.

[twitter-dev] iPhone - application or web? What URL if web?

[Rob Wilson]

Hi,

When I registered my application with Twitter, I was asked whether it was an
application, or website.  The latter required a URL callback.

I tried to select website with 'oob' as the callback URL (as seen in the
documentation notes), but the registration form rejected oob as an invalid
callback URL (seems fair enough - it's not a URL).

I'm left wondering, are iPhones apps to be registered as application or web?
 If the latter, what URL should be used?

Cheers,
Rob.

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Use of OAuth in Xcode to use twitter API

[Rob Gmail]

If it's a recorded screencast that you want to deliver, over the web, then 
camtasia is your solution - to record and annotate your screen with voice, 
annotations, chapters.

If you want a live conference with up to 1000 viewers, try goToWebinar.

Both will work very well, however one is more dynamic and offers instant 
feedback.

Or do both :)

Hi Sangeeta,

I'm really needing this information now - I don't suppose there's an early
release scheme with your publisher (like Manning MEAP?).

If not, do you have any blogs to assist?

Good luck on the book.

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: iPhone twitter client

[Rob Gmail]

Sounds like you would be better off considering goToWebinar, you could charge 
via paypal and only expose the URL to those who paid.

I would be interested, but within the next week or so I would hope to have 
cracked it, so if you could do a webinar  very soon, you have an interested 
person in your queue ;)

You could join me in a podcast interview to detail your book, plus any other 
projects that your working on?

Good luck!

[twitter-dev] iPhone twitter client

[Rob Wilson - SpikyOrange]

Hi,

I'm planning on integrating with Twitter on the iPhone, I'm surprised
that unlike Facebook, Twitter does not provide a standard Objective-C
library, but I have found MGTwitterEngine.

The problem is, the setup instructions are not that clear, then I
found 'by accident' the Twitter-OAuth-iPhone project on GitHub, which
seemed to at least bring up the Twitter authorisation page, but now
fails with 401 errors and doesn't give me the opportunity to remove
the token (hey, it's just a demo project, so I guess they don't handle
it).

The concern I have, is that when I registered my application, it
wanted a callback URL, from what I understand I want the value "OOB"
to be used, for our-of-band / Pin-code authorisation.  I tried
entering OOB and then it complained that I must enter a valid URL.

I then deleted the URL completely and then the application was
accepted, but I don't know whether a blank / missing URL == OOB?

When I try to edit the application, it doesn't give me the option to
add a URL.

So, when programming for an iPhone, do you enter 'Application', or
'Web'.  If the latter, what URL should be entered and can you edit it
afterwards?

Does anyone have advice on setting up MGTwitterEngine, or Twitter-
OAuth-iPhone?

For something that 'sounds' simple, it has taken me over a day of
playing to get nowhere productive.  However, I am new to iPhone
develop, oAuth and the libraries mentioned above.

I am planning on documenting what I learn on my blog afterwards, to
help other iPhone developers.  Feel free to follow me on Twitter, as I
disucss the progress on my podcast BitBanterPC.

Many thanks to anyone who can answer those questions.

Regards,
Rob.

[twitter-dev] Re: statuses/filter streaming api vs Gnip announcement

[Rob]

To add to Matt's comment - we at Gnip haven't yet announced a coverage-
based product that mimics Twitter's stream.twitter.com/statuses/
filter, but stay tuned (http://twitter.com/gnip).  We'll be announcing
several new firehose-based products in the near future as soon as we
bring them online.

Any nondisplay companies or developers who want to participate in the
private beta period of our new commercial Twitter products are
welcomed to drop us a note at i...@gnip.com.

[twitter-dev] Search API not returning tweet

[Rob Lee]

I'm trying to understand why this query doesn't return a tweet :

http://search.twitter.com/search.json?q=%23tea%20from:jamesb%20from:frankieroberto%20from:andrewpendrick%20from:monkeyhelpr%20from:topfife

But this one does :

http://search.twitter.com/search.json?q=%23tea%20from:jamesb%20from:frankieroberto%20from:andrewpendrick%20from:monkeyhelpr%20from:urbanwide

The only difference seems to be changing the from:topfife account to
from:urbanwide, the returned tweet is from the monkeyhelpr account, so
changing the final from:account shouldn't make a difference as far as
I'm aware.

[twitter-dev] Re: oAuth for server-side applications

[Rob]

Sheesh, digests are always such a PITA.  I wrote my own HTTP/DIGEST
auth routine once and what a pain to wade through the RFC and try to
get coding to work.  I'd really like NOT to have to do that, BUT, I
want to be articulate enough (code-wise) so I'm not just blindly
relying on someone's library.

So, for the single token solution, I would:

-- for each Twitter account with server-side access, I register "my-
server-side-app" at dev.twitter.com/..., obtaining the Access Token
(oauth_token) and Access Token Secret (oauth_token_secret);

-- somehow, I plug token/secret into my HTTP request; I'm OK with
using the HTTP Authorization header:
(example from: 
http://hueniverse.com/2008/10/beginners-guide-to-oauth-part-iv-signing-requests/)
-
GET /photos?size=original&file=vacation.jpg HTTP/1.1
Host: photos.example.net:80
Authorization: OAuth realm="http://photos.example.net/photos";,
oauth_consumer_key="dpf43f3p2l4k3l03", oauth_token="nnch734d00sl2jdk",
oauth_nonce="kllo9940pd9333jh", oauth_timestamp="1191242096",
oauth_signature_method="HMAC-SHA1", oauth_version="1.0",
oauth_signature="tR3%2BTy81lMeYAr%2FFid0kMTYa%2FWM%3D"
-
oauth_consumer_key - check! (supplied by Twitter app registration
info)
oauth_token - check! (supplied by Twitter "my access token")

leaving me without a oauth_nonce or oauth_signature.


So, again, I ask (anyone) for some (fairly) LOW-LEVEL example Java
code; I'd like to know the lower-level coding mechanics WITHOUT
becoming married to the RFC AND not having to wade through someone's
framework.  Like Joe Friday used to say, "Just the facts..."

Thanks.

[twitter-dev] Re: oAuth for server-side applications

I'm working (more or less) in Java. I'm planning to start picking
through the Scribe library to see the flow.


The flow (http://dev.twitter.com/images/dev/oauth_diagram.png) makes
sense.  What I'm having difficulty with is mapping the pieces of that
diagram to the single token solution.  What steps from the diagram
(and in what sequence) apply to the STS?

Also, in the case of server-side accesses, what is the mapping of
Twitter "application registrations" to Twitter IDs?  One app's
registration can access multiple Twitter IDs (concurrently) or is it
one app/reg per TwID?

Taylor,

Thanks for the bootstrap info.  Now, is there a soup-to-nuts CODING
example somewhere?.

[twitter-dev] oAuth for server-side applications

[Rob]

Okay, I'm totally confused with Twitter's move to drop HTTP BASIC
authorization.

My problem is with a set of Twitter accounts that are primarily
accessed PROGRAMATICALLY by server-side processes; there is no
"client" per se, or rather, the server process IS the client.  For
example, an automated process that periodically sends status tweets.
The programming currently uses the API with BASIC authentication (via
HTTPS).  I am a loss as to how OAuth is applied in this situation.

A clearly expressed example would be greatly appreciated.

[twitter-dev] V2-roadmap access

[Rob]

I've seen many references to http://apiwiki.twitter.com/V2-Roadmap,
particularly with regards to a current api issue I have (accepting
pending follow requests on protected accounts) but when I go to that
page I get a mostly empty page that just says "You don't have
permission to look at V2 Roadmap."  Is that intentional and if so is
there some place I can go to request access?  I don't see any obvious
way to signup and login into the necessary workspace on pbwiki.

[twitter-dev] /filter question

[rob]

Quick question:

When consuming the Streaming API on the "Filter" endpoint can you
provide both the "track" and "follow" predicates?

ex: ?track=foo&follow=1234566

We would like to have a single user with elevated access for both the
"track" and "follow" roles and utilize a single connection.

Thanks,

Rob

[twitter-dev] Streaming API question

[rob]

Has anyone else ran into an issue where over time the Streaming API
just stops sending results?

We are using a Ruby library to connect (twitter-stream) which uses
EventMachine to open a persistent connection to the API (we are
tracking and following).

The library properly handles reconnection (from dropped connections)
and the various error conditions.

All works well for a period of time (8+ hours in some cases, sometimes
a full day)  after that the connection does no get dropped but no data
gets sent. (At least that's what is seems as EventMachine feels its
still connected)

If we just drop the connection and reconnect all is well and the data
starts to flow again. (Which we could do but that seems like a hack)

Anyone else have this issue or should I dive into the EventMachine
code and see if there is an issue in there?

Thanks in advance,

Rob

[twitter-dev] Getting Replies to A Message

[rob]

Hello,

Questions regarding how to get replies to a tweet

What is the recommended way to do this properly?

A few things I have tried

{I am aware that there is no current way to use the search API and
grab all responses to a tweet (i.e by reply_to_status_id) [bummer].}

1. The search API using a "to:someUser&since_id=
[theIdOfTweetIAmWatching]": this does not work since I have no
reply_to_status_id in the results to match up with.

2. API --> home_timeline: Requires the credentials for the user who
created the tweet [Which I may or may not have]

3. API --> user_timeline with the user_id from the tweet I am
watching: this does not include the tweets to the user

4. Cheat and have twitter to the work
http://search.twitter.com/search/thread/[theIdOfTweetIAmWatching] :
does not seem to support JSON or anything other than HTML or ATOM

5. Searched the list :)

I am just trying to get a handle on how to take a tweet that I get in
via a stream and go look [poll] for replies.

It seems I would need to follow the user using the streaming API and
match based on the in_reply_to_status_id but that would get quite out
of hand due to incoming tweet volume [i.e would need to follow a large
amount of users that may or may not ever produce a valid reply].

Thanks in advance,

Rob

Hi,

Has something changed with the favourites API?  Using an example

I've always just stored as 64bit integers, I'd assumed that 32bit wouldn't be

Now, if it goes above 64bit then I'm screwed, because neither my language or

[twitter-dev] Re: Keep getting "Invalid / used nonce", even with new nonce

[Rob O'Brien]

I haven't fully read through this thread, but I'd like to throw in my help.

I ran into the same problem (at least the same error) recently and
discovered that the server's system time was incorrect (by about 3 hours).
In some obscure documentation, I found that the timestamp must be within 5
minutes of real time in order for the nonce to be accepted. 

Check your system time, adjust if necessary, and try again. Give it a shot.

[twitter-dev] Invalid / used nonce

[Rob O'Brien]

The interesting thing with my situation is that I'm still in development, so
there's only a single person (me) hitting the app. Further, I'm only
attempting a single call to Twitter.

Also, I get a 401 on everything that requires authentication, but not on
something like a rateLimitStatus check.

Further, a call to /followers/ids.xml *works* on my local dev box, but not
on the production server. The only difference I can think of would be IP
address. 

I've been able to trace 3 separate requests being generated by Twitter4J and
here are the values:

[Wed Aug 12 10:19:56 PDT 2009]
oauth_timestamp="1250097596",oauth_nonce="329444963"

[Wed Aug 12 10:20:20 PDT 2009]
oauth_timestamp="1250097620",oauth_nonce="173112023"

[Wed Aug 12 10:24:39 PDT 2009]
oauth_timestamp="1250097879",oauth_nonce="3202768030"

Each timestamp is larger than the last and each nonce is unique.

Knowing that my values are legit makes me think there's another problem, but
Twitter hasn't responded to my api@ email.

We're having the same issue in our app, occurs sporadically in our
logs - but I believe the cause with us is that:

We're generating nonce values as a timestamp seeded sequence of random
numbers
We're creating an instance of the Oauth class that does this for each
logged in user for the app

Thus, for a single timestamp, it IS possible that the time seeded
nonce values are the same

So - corrrective action being trialled: I'm prefixing the 'random'
nonce value with the userID stripped from the start of the token,
padded to a fixed length of chars... this should guarantee then that
the nonce/timestamp combo is indeed unique for every request made from
our app

[twitter-dev] Bad Celebrity Search Results

[rob]

Hi,

I'm doing a project that deals specifically with P Diddy (twitter.com/
iamdiddy). When I do a search, no tweets newer than May 6th show up.
However, looking at his timeline, more recent tweets exist. This isn't
a problem with my tweets (twitter.com/robseward). Also, it appears
search is not returning accurate results for other celebrities online.
Does anyone know what's going on here? Is the problem isolated to
users with a high number of followers or is it something non celebrity-
related. Some examples below:


P Diddy:
http://search.twitter.com/search?q=from%3Aiamdiddy
http://twitter.com/iamdiddy

Ashton Kutcher:
http://search.twitter.com/search?q=from%3Aaplusk
http://twitter.com/aplusk

Shaq:
http://search.twitter.com/search?q=from=THE_REAL_SHAQ
twitter.com/THE_REAL_SHAQ


Me (not a celebrity. Accurate search results).

Re: Whitelisting: Change server

[Rob Ashton]

Further to this, I would like to apologise for being so defensive in
my first reply, that was unnecessary too.

I don't wish to get off on the wrong foot.

Re: Whitelisting: Change server

[Rob Ashton]

It is a valid thing *worth* pointing out, that if some of us are
waiting over a week (10 days so far for me iirc), and the lead API
developer is still saying 72 hours, that there might be a problem, and
the only way Twitter can know of the problem is if we post our
feedback on it.

My intention in writing my above post was to make sure that Alex was
*aware* that things were moving even slower than as he stated, I have
indeed read the other posts in this group, having been lurking here
since starting work on my small twitter project, and I am fully aware
that the API demands are busy at the moment, especially with the OAUTH
beta currently undergoing trial.

I was not asking for miracles, I was not complaining, and I wasn't
even asking for the process to be faster, I was just stating the facts
as they were, from my own research, asking people on Twitter + other
developer groups whether they had had any response in the past week.

And as a side note, your above posts are unnecessarily snide/
confrontational, the one I am replying to in particular, as if you
actually *want* to rile me up. Please don't do this, there are nicer
ways of saying what you wanted to say.

Re: Whitelisting: Change server

[Rob Ashton]

Oh faff off, there is no need for that tone, I was merely stating the
facts, which includes exactly what you just said too.

If you want to have an argument on free beer, api requests or
whatever, then I have a lot to say that I am not saying, because this
is not the place for it.

Re: Whitelisting: Change server

[Rob Ashton]

I don't think they're looking at the whitelist requests, or the
whitelist request form is broken or there is just a really massive
backlog, because everybody I've spoken to has this problem.

Nobody I have contacted has been whitelisted in the past week.

Re: Whitelisting notification?

[Rob Ashton]

I was wondering this myself, it's been over a week since I requested
auth and it hadn't occured to me that I might have been whitelisted
and simply not notified.

Re: BarackObama: Wha...

[Rob Iles]

It's been said by others before, and I 100% agree.

I'm not a twitter "fanboy" (I use it, occasionally, find it pretty cool,
flattered by some of the people who follow me). It's the SUPPORT, the
transparency, the honest answers that haven't been sanitised by Marketing /
Management. It's fantastic. I subscribed to the API mailing list several
months ago; at the time, I was considering writing a twitter client (for
various reasons, that hasn't happened yet), yet I've remained subscribed to
the list, which isn't insignificant in daily traffic, and realistically is
of little relevance to my current activities solely because of the straight
up, "here's what's happening", "this is what we intend to do, will it cause
you problems" type messages from Alex and Co.

There's been a recent outbreak of "threats" (for want of a better word) -
people calling for a boycott etc - and this saddens me.

Give the guys (and gals?) a break! They're well aware of the issues - and
provide facilities for you to report any new anomalies - what more could you
want? (I've worked for companies who've paid 7digits for this sort of
support!)

I *clearly* don't speak for Twitter, I'm not even a notable contributor to
the traffic, let alone the API / Technology.

I am, however, the development, support, sales and marketing team for
*completely different product*. I pride myself on the open and honest
information I provide my customers (including those using my API) - and
they, in turn, appreciate it. The "community" that builds around this is
fantastic; not in any bankable/tangible way - call it "Karma" if you like;
good spirit flowing in both directions.

It's refreshing to see a company (Twitter, in the form of Alex) telling it
as it is, rather than hiding behind excuses, "spinning it", or denying all
knowledge (believe me, it does happen - especially in tech companies).

Apologies to anyone who feels my response is spam or a rant, I just wanted
to publicly show my support for the twitter team. Long may they continue in
the mode they've done so to date.

Kind regards,

Rob Iles

Not sure that's good or bad - Surely the API Lead should get huge stock
grant in GOOG ;)
