Well, you didn't state the results you're getting (which error) so I'm
just guessing here. If I'm not mistaken, PHP uses a hash for array
indexes and, thus, it may be adding the elements in the $request_uri
in the wrong order. I can't remember how to do that in PHP, but in
Python it would be something like:
for key in sort(oauth['params'].keys()):
request_uri += oauth['params'][key]

[twitter-dev] Seeking Beta Tester Developers for my API
Hi all, I'm looking for a few developers to help me test the API I have built for http://twicli.com (content sharing user tagging) The API's work as you would expect with each content type (photo, video, audio) having an 'upload' and 'uploadAndTweet' method. The backend of the API is actually fine, I just don't have an app to test it with. I have simulated sending requests using PHP but I'm unsure whether the results will be the same when the photo/video data is sent via iPhone or Adobe AIR. Does anyone know what format a photo posted via an app is sent in? Binary data? I don't want to release the API publicly without actually testing it first so any help is appreciated and I'll offer free advertising on both www.picli.com and www.twicli.com I'm also working on various get methods aswell as post. Seemingly most content sharing apps I've seen only seem to offer methods to upload content through their API rather than request data about a specific piece of content. I plan to build a method that will deliver detailed information including users who have been tagged into the photo (for example). Anyway, if anyone's willing to help that would be fantastic and I will return the favour. -Sam http://twitter.com/sampicli
[twitter-dev] Re: Authenticating / release of IDs usernames
I recommend switching to OAuth where verify_credentials seems to be handled in conjunction with the oauth tokens rather than user/pass. Here's how I use it: 1. User authorizes for the first time 2. Twitter user ID, Screen name, password (and various style data) is stored in my 'twitter_users' table From that point on, when the user authorizes in the future each field is compared to the cached values in the database. If any are different.. the twitter_users table is updated with up to date info. It's always best to use twitter user id as an identifier rather than username. I suggest checking to see if id matches your stored ID each time a user logs in. If it's different (username has been reset and used by a new account) create a new row. Hope this helped in any way -Sam @sampicli http://twicli.com On Aug 15, 10:18 pm, stasisme...@googlemail.com stasisme...@googlemail.com wrote: Hi all, I came across a strange issue today with a few users in my app that still uses basic auth: 1.

User changes their screen_name, and that screen name is released to be used by others 5. User creates a new account, and uses the old username with same password 6. App continues to authenticate using username / password At thsi point, my app was processing the direct messages feed, and I performed a 'just in case' check on the recipient_id and the stored user_id. That's when some exceptions occurred, where the stored user_id did not match the recipient_id. So I'm wondering - how have people protected against this?
[twitter-dev] Re: When is whitelisting necessary?
Necessary, for example, if you use a particular account to notify your users of a certain event (sending them notifications). Large apps with high traffic might need to send over 150 alerts from the bot account per hour. Im thinking it's also used for apps that try to deliver tweets in 'realtime' by requesting the REST API very frequently rather than use the streaming APIs. Perhaps it's also used to make multiple requests to /users/show via a cronjob that makes sure all the user's of the site have an up to date profile image and background image cached. (If a user changes their profile picture on Twitter, your cached URL 404's) Anyway I've only used whitelisting for the first (notifying users when they are tagged into photos - or when they are invited to events on twappening.com) -Sam @sampicli http://twicli.com On Aug 16, 12:16 pm, boaz sapirb...@gmail.com wrote: Hello, I am new to Twitter API and I am trying to understand whether I should apply for whitelisting my application. The documentation says: IP whitelisting takes precedence to account rate limits. GET requests from a whitelisted IP address made on a user's behalf will be deducted from the whitelisted IP's limit, not the users. Therefore, IP-based whitelisting is a best practice for applications that request many users' data. However if for example 200 users are accessing twitter through my application in one hour, and each access from my app to twitter is done with the relevant end user as the twitter authenticated user, I can do 200*150=3 API calls in one hours without whitelisting the IP address, which is more than the 2 I could do with whitelisting. Can anyone give a counter example where whitelisting is absolutely necessary? Thank you, Boaz

[twitter-dev] SUP (Simple Update Protocol), FriendFeed and Twitter
Hi all, I've recently been doing some research on how FriendFeed manages to push user's twitter updates to users FriendFeed profile so fast. I was very impressed at the speed these updates were delivered to FriendFeed and appears on my profile (within 5 seconds) so I started looking into how it works. I've learnt quite a lot about SUP by Googling it: Lots of relevant links here http://blog.friendfeed.com/2008/12/simple-update-protocol-update.html tl;dr FriendFeed faced problems updating their profiles because they were issuing millions of API calls to keep everyones profiles up to date. They came up with a proposal for SUP - a new kind of API that services provide that only lists accounts that have been updated recently. This saves FriendFeed requesting ALL users so frequently - they now only need to request the API for accounts that have new content. According to that blog post various services have already setup SUP feeds to help FriendFeed update things in close-to-real-time. My question is: Does Twitter have a SUP feed that can publicly be used? We are starting development on a site with similar real-time functionality to FriendFeed and currently face the same problem FriendFeed had (before they devised the SUP proposal and implementation). If Twitter does not provide a public SUP feed? can someone please try to explain how FriendFeed push user's twitter updates within seconds?? My only guess is that they may be constantly connected to the streaming API's firehose method and monitoring updates from twitter accounts that are also associated with FriendFeed profiles. Hoping someone can shed some light on this for me. Thank you! -Sam

End Try
Return Upload
End Function
Calling this function gives me this error:
?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8?
rsp stat=fail
err code=1002 msg=No file specified to upload /
/rsp
if anybody has any ideas I'd appreciate it (note I've put the file on
the front and in the back. Both return the same error).
[twitter-dev] Problem with adding favorites (api.twitter.com/1)
Im having difficulties adding favorites to Twitter.
I am using the following URL:
http://api.twitter.com/1/favorites/15256536658/create.xml
http://api.twitter.com/1/favorites/15256536658/create.json
Neither seem to work via my OAuth App. I get the following response:
string(70) {request:/1/favorites/15256536658/
create.json,error:Not found}
Is this a known bug? Should I be using http://twitter.com instead of
api.twitter.com/1 ?
