Re: Fetching user_timeline on twitter
I am also using APi to develop my application. I am facing a problem with the protected user. If user protect their updates on the Twiiter Site. I am unable to get the tweets of that person. Is there any way to get that. Second i can't receive any notification that other person has send you a request to foolow yon.

As for your second question, unfortunately no, there is no way to receive notification progamatically that a user has requested to follow you. Is this a deal killer to you?

Re: Fetching user_timeline on twitter
Hi Doug, The second part of your response was very encouraging so I just wanted to confirm it again :-) Are you saying Yes to how twitter's Oauth implementation will work? or are you saying It would be nice to be able to do it and therefore hope that twitter would do so? If it is the former, can you shed some light on how a third party website will be able to get long term user-specific credentials from twitter?

Re: Fetching user_timeline on twitter
Naveen, Authentication for third-party services will be handled and serviced on Twitter by the user on twitter.com. A user will grant permission to applications to access and edit a specified subset of their account artifacts. Therefore, if a user wants to allow your third-party service long-term access to their data, he would simply give you permission on Twitter. The about OAuth section here: http://oauth.net/about for more understanding has a great high-level analogy. @dougw On Feb 3, 1:52 pm, Naveen naveen.s.sax...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Doug, The second part of your response was very encouraging so I just wanted to confirm it again :-) Are you saying Yes to how twitter's Oauth implementation will work? or are you saying It would be nice to be able to do it and therefore hope that twitter would do so?

Fetching user_timeline on twitter

Re: Fetching user_timeline on twitter
Naveen, If you follow the protected person on Twitter (and they allow it), you can then fetch their updates by logging in with that account. This is one way to make it work w/o requesting their username and password. :) On Feb 2, 8:52 am, Naveen naveen.s.sax...@gmail.com wrote: I have some basic questions (I am still learning this world) regarding fetching another user's timeline... 1.
