[twitter-dev] Twitter List App Needs a New Home

2010-04-08 Thread Twlisted
We've built http://twlisted.com and the app is up and working and the database is in very good shape, but we've been sidetracked onto other (paying) projects and don't have the bandwidth to give this the attention that it needs. This is a machine driven directory of Twitter lists. Sort of like

[twitter-dev] OAuth authentication challenge sent for some API but not others

I'm working on an iPhone app using xAuth (which is great!). I'm exchanging user credentials for an access token, storing it and using the token to make subsequent calls to the API's just fine. I'm having trouble however with the account update_profile_image API (http://

Dear Developers, I'm sure we’re a lot - in this group - to have our ticket for Chirp, and I wanted to launch a thread so we could know each other a little better, before the conference starts. The conference looks very promising on a technical side: we’re going to learn from the expert, practice

Re: [twitter-dev] OAuth Revoke Token?

There is no API endpoint that I know of and don't think one should exist. Users should not trust thirdparties to self-revoke access to their accounts. Users should know how to do it from twitter.com via the connections page. It might be nice if we could generate a redirect link to a page on

A scenario for justifying invalidateToken: - User visits AwesomeApp and wants to connect his Twitter account - AwesomeApp redirects to Twitter's OAuth flow - User fails to notice that someone else, UserX, is already logged in to Twitter in the current browser and clicks through -

Thank you for the feedback. It's great to hear about the variety of use cases people have for the API, and in particular all the different ways people are using IDs. To alleviate some of the concerns raised in this thread we thought it would be useful to give more details about how we plan to

What does “within the caveats given above” mean? Either since_id will work or it won’t. It seems to me that if IDs are only in a “rough” order, since_id won’t work—in particular, there is a possibility that paging through tweets using since_id will completely skip over some tweets. My

This was my initial concern with the randomly generated ids that I brought up, though I think Brian described it better than I. It simply seems very likely that when using since_id to populate newer tweets for the user, that some tweets will never be seen, because the since_id of the last message

It's a possibility, but by no means a probability. Note that you can mitigate this by using the newest tweet that is outside your danger zone. For example in a sequence of tweets t1, t2 ... ti ... tn with creation times c1, c2 ... ci ... cn and a comfort threshold e you could use since_id from

Ahh, yes, your workaround is a little better than mine, but it is still a work around and requires changes to how since_id is currently used by what I have assume is most applications. I understand the need for change and am willing to work around it, I can imagine the scalability issues of trying
