[twitter-dev] Re: IP Address range
I think I'm encountering the same hurdle with my application. Unfortunately my hosting provider insists on having an IP to use in order to filter outbound traffic from the server. I don't suppose that there's any chance that you would be able to provide this so that I can get access to the API from an application that needs to integrate twitter? Thanks.

I gave them 128.121.146.100, since that's what comes back from a ping to twitter.com. The problem is that it seems the script is frequently trying to use otheripaddresses to reach twitter. Is there a range ofIPaddresses that might be valid Twitter endpoints, that I need to pass on to the hosted server admin team? Any help greatly appreciated!

[twitter-dev] Re: IP Address range
I'll be honest, filtering outbound traffic is very draconian. Is this a company server, or are you guys renting a hosted server yourselves? If it is the latter I would tell them to accept all outbound traffic or switch hosts. billbarn42 wrote: I've got a python script that is monitoring the playlist for our local public radio station, and tweeting when new tracks come up.

OK, will pursue with my hosted server admins. Thanks! On Apr 15, 8:06 pm, Alex Payne a...@twitter.com wrote: You're probably better off writing the firewall rule by domain, if possible.
