If I refresh the following method a few times, it will return the correct Friends array, but sometimes it will return an empty array, with a status of 200. http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/friends.xml?screen_name=TastyTracycursor=-1 Can anyone confirm this is happening to them as well. Hopefully this won't magically be fixed by the time someone tries it on this example account.

[twitter-dev] OAuth authentification page on normal login
I'm developing an application with OAuth authetification. If I'm not logged in into my Twitter account, I can perform successfully the OAuth authentification. But if after this process I go to twitter.com and perform a normal login, after login Twitter redirects me to the oauth/authorize page and displays the Woah there! message. I tried randomly some other Twitter apps using OAuth with the same results, so I think it's not my fault. Anybody else experiencing this problem? Any solution to this? Thanks Istvan
[twitter-dev] Latest post missing in Restful call, present in RSS
Hi, Strange little problem here. A friend's last tweet is up on his twitter page at twitter.com/climate_threat and is present in the RSS, but on calling Twitter's RESTful API, the tweet is missing (http:// api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline/climate_threat.xml). Any idea why this might be the case? Thanks.

[twitter-dev] Status update request returns incorrect tweet
I've been wrangling Twitter's API for a few months while developing a third-party ap that, among other things, allows users to update their twitter streams. This morning we received a support inquiry from a user who said that he was unable to update his status through our service. We log every return we get from twitter, so I checked out the log and the result looked like a normal successful tweet reply. Upon closer inspection, I noted that the response was based on a *different* status update than the one we posted. I tested making the update call manually, and I got a similar result: The status we sent was not posted, but we were returned the information for their most recent tweet. In summary, this is what we're seeing: 1. An OAuth-authenticated user attempts to post a new status to https://twitter.com/statuses/update.xml 2. Twitter returns a normal-looking response, but it is for a pre- existing tweet that was not posted through our ap. 3. The user's timeline does not reflect the new post. So far, I've only seen the behavior with this particular user's two Twitter accounts. All other users seem to be getting normal results back from their status updates. I've tested it pretty extensively, but I can't imagine it being caused by anything other than a Twitter API bug. Is there some strange case in statuses/update that I'm missing, or is this truly a bug?

[twitter-dev] Tickery
Apologies if this seems spammy. We just released a Twitter search and exploration app: http://tickery.net It might be of interest to fellow Twitter API programmers because you can add to the underlying objects (representing Twitter users), search on your additions and those of others, etc. E.g., if you wanted to add a rating to Twitter users, you could, and Tickery could do search display for you. Or you could write an app that did display, with the data living in FluidDB along with the data Tickery puts there. I'd love to chat with anyone who has wished that the Twitter API was in some way writable.
