OK, I just added a device to my @twitreport account and added exactly ONE person to get notifications from (@Moltz)
Then I did this to dump my 'friends' list (note: my Twitter login information is in ~/.netrc) curl --netrc --silent http://twitter.com/friends/ids/twitreport.xml | egrep "^<id>" | sed 's#<id>##g; s#</id>##g' > /tmp/follow that gives me a list of IDs of people that I follow, one per line, in a temp file /tmp/follow If I then go through that list and dump the "show" information, and grab only the "notifications" information: while read line do NOTIFICATION_STATUS=`curl -s --netrc http://twitter.com/users/show/$line.xml |\ egrep "<notifications>.*</notifications>" |\ sed 's#.*<notifications>##g; s#</notifications>##g'` echo "$line: $NOTIFICATION_STATUS" done < /tmp/follow I am getting mostly all "true" responses (as if I was getting device notifications for all those people). If I go to the website (logged in as TwitReport) it shows that I am NOT getting any of those notifications. Is the API giving me bad information or am I asking the wrong question? TjL
