[twitter-dev] Re: stream API works with some accounts, not others
I have a similar problem. I can't get any tweet using http://search.twitter.com/search.json?q=cincuentamas, but I can for my own user and practically every other user in Twitter. And this user cincuentamas doesn't even have a private account or anything like that.

[twitter-dev] Re: stream API works with some accounts, not others
I figured out the problem. The tweetstream RubyGem is using the function URI.encode on passwords. If you have punctuation in your password like any good, security- conscious developer would, then tweetstream will make your password invalid. Also, it will not produce any sort of error -- it will simply sit and do nothing (which may or may not be due to how the API is implemented from Twitter's side). The short-term solution is to simply change your password and make it URL-safe. On Dec 28, 3:02 am, MikeJ architeuthis...@gmail.com wrote: I hope this is a simple question.

[twitter-dev] Re: stream API works with some accounts, not others
I am starting to think this is a bug in the TweetStream RubyGem, because I am able to track tweets from the command line with curl per the examples in the stream API docs. So I doubt anyone will have any insight for me, but I will keep you all updated on my findings just in case anyone else is running into a similar problem.
