[twitter-dev] Re: The best method for finding new retweets

2010-12-08 Thread fbparis
I've worked on this and havn't found any clean solutions.. Checking all new retweets would consume too much requests :( Note that if statuses/mentions method was running as expected (http:// dev.twitter.com/doc/get/statuses/mentions) with the include_rts parameter, we wouldnt have any problem

[twitter-dev] Re: Best scalable method to process mentions

2010-11-29 Thread fbparis
I guess you should use the stream api to get mentions in real time. No need to process it directly, you could code a simple client connected to the stream api which record new mention in database, then launch your script time to time and get the mentions via the database rather than via the

This new feature can be great, especialy if you provide some free analytics about clicks, retweets count in the way bit.ly does (R.I.P. :D). But you said : we're trying to protect users against phishing and other malicious attacks I'm wondering how you can do that : expand all urls and follow

[twitter-dev] lang parameter in the search api

2009-10-23 Thread fbparis
The language filter in the search api doesnt seem very accurate. I've noticed that using Google Translate API for lang detection allow to refine results very well. So I suggest, if Twitter makes a deal with google, try to get their lang detection system :) It could be great for stream api too...

2009-09-05 Thread fbparis
I think changeable screen_names are a big problem even outside the api, for links for example : twitter accounts are linked everywhere with uri http://twitter.com/screen_name so it may cause 404 if the user changes his/her screen_name, or worst if someone else takes it, it will link to the wrong

I was wondering why we can not set user password via the user_update method. Email can be updated this way, and a bad app could then use the http://twitter.com/account/resend_password form to steal some twitter accounts. Maybe the user_update method shouldnt be able to update email. Or maybe

According to the last api request you've done, X-RateLimit-Remaining can be user limit or IP limit (depends if you made an authentified request or not). This can explain the X-RateLimit-Remaining values you've posted. On Sep 4, 11:03 am, Reivax xavier.yo...@gmail.com wrote: I'm having this
