Hi Matt, We've been seeing this for a while - the block and report spam calls always return 502s (with a full page of HTML), even though they actually succeed. This doesn't seem to be tied into the stability of the rest of the API. This is happening across all of our clients, including those that

I'd have thought calling verify_credentials would do it - you'll get a 401 and a specific error message to tell you that the key is no longer valid. Alternatively, why not try to perform your actions (like posting a tweet or retrieving tweets) and if they return a 401, use that to indicate that

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Home_timeline and retweets

2010-07-05 Thread Thomas Woolway
I don't think that you're doing anything wrong - it's just a quirk of the API - you don't get any info in your home timeline on stuff you retweeted. I think this is because of the condition that you should never see a retweet if you would have seen it already in your timeline. This stops you from

Hi Alex, You're not going to be able to do that through the API (or anyone else)- it's a nice usecase, but allowing people to add tweets from 'back in time' would get very confusing, very quickly. Why not add a timestamp to the tweet body, to let people following know when it was written? Tom

When you get the access token back from Twitter after the OAuth step, it should also include some basic user information - including the user id, from memory. Hope this helps, Tom On Wed, Mar 3, 2010 at 4:56 PM, xhe hexuf...@gmail.com wrote: I now want to enable user to link their twitter

Hi, Try https://twitter.com/statuses/home_timeline.json?since_id=9959648124 count=50 The since_id is a limiting parameter - the API will give you statuses going back until either you hit the since_id or the count parameter. Otherwise you could theoretically set the since_id to 1 and get all 10
