Kaan, The documentation for the method [1] states that the limit for the count parameter is 200.

[twitter-dev] stopping bit.ly automatic shortening of urls
we're writing an application to do live gps tracking with Twitter. We'd like to be able to have a full url in a message which we could parse or use as a direct web link. GPS logging will be done on pocket pc based phones and we already have a test application available (Twittrack). We're extending the functionality of our silverlight application http://tweepware.infonote.com to be able to display live gps updates from Twitter. But.. When we post to Twitter using the api our url is always shrunk to a bit.ly url. How can we stop this? Regards Pete
[twitter-dev] users.show follower count vs followers/ids count
Hi Folks, I've run into an interesting question that's not really addressed by the docs. Background = In the documentation for followers/ids, it states: (Please note that the result set isn't guaranteed to be 5000 every time as suspended users will be filtered out.) In addition, it seems that http://bit.ly/lp2f6 (thread in this forum) claims that some zero-length pages may be interspersed among the pages containing ID's The Question === I've carefully retrieved every page of followers/ids for a user with roughly 20K followers, stopping only after three consecutive zero length pages. The total number of id's fetched is about 25% lower than the count reported by users.show(). Can I surmise that the delta between the two follower counts is due to suspended accounts? Is there a twitter api bug in play? Or a combination of both? Alternatively, an explanation of why the followers/ids total count differs from that of users/show would be terribly interesting. Thanks! -Idan

[twitter-dev] Re: stopping bit.ly automatic shortening of urls
There is no way to turn URL shortening off. Two ways you could handle this though are: 1) Keep the URLs short enough that Twitter does not turn them into bitly links. I don't think the exact size/composition is published so you would have to experiment to see where that line is. 2) Shorten it yourself so you can control what comes after the /. It would not be a direct link but you could parse it. Abraham On Tue, Jul 7, 2009 at 06:42, infopete p...@infonote.com wrote: we're writing an application to do live gps tracking with Twitter.

[twitter-dev] Re: users.show follower count vs followers/ids count
Alternatively, an explanation of why the followers/ids total count differs from that of users/show would be terribly interesting. It used to be the case (at least when the feature first launched) that some folks, particularly those who have large follower lists, had duplicate ids in the followers/ids response. At least that was my experience. Don't know if this is still true, but you could check the uniqueness of the set being returned, just for grins. -damon -- http://twitter.com/damon

Hi there, The issue here is that the status is over 140 characters so it is truncated. You can see the same on http://twitter.com/SanAngeloEcoDev, where the tweets ends in ... and only the direct status page includes the truncated section. This is something Twitter used to support but as far as I know it's something that should no longer be allowed. Please open a ticket at http://code.google.com/p/twitter-api/issues/entry and we'll look into how the overly-long status got there in the first place.

The problem is occurring since 2009-07-06 03:16:11 UTC. Could you please try to retrieve this status_id using the /statuses/ show method? On my side, I get a 200 HTTP_CODE with an empty answer, which is obviously abnormal. I also tried to retrieve the status from twitter web interface:http://twitter.com/nowni/statuses/2490912395 Working. It’s the only status throwing me such a result through the API. FYI, I’m using OAuth, authenticated with the status author (I also tried to retrieve it authenticated with another account, and I get the same result). -- Abraham Williams | Community Evangelist |http://web608.org Hacker |http://abrah.am|http://twitter.com/abraham Project |http://fireeagle.labs.poseurtech.com This email is: [ ] blogable [x] ask first [ ] private. -- Internets.

[twitter-dev] Help with twitter profile.
Basically I am trying to make a site where a user come to the site,
types in their username, song title, artist title, and uploads a song,
this then gets stored in a database along with a random generated
code.
What I am trying to do is make a twitter clone page of the users
profile. eg. if a user has the username blahblah and the random code
in the database is 3hr8e I want it so when I go to
www.mysite.com/twitter.php?pwd=3hr8e
This is what I have tried however I can't get anything to show up. Is
there something I'm doing wrong?
?php
require (connect.php);
require (functions.php);
include(template/twitterheader.php);
// require the twitter library
require twitter.lib.php;
$pwd = mysql_real_escape_string($_GET['pwd']);
$result = mysql_query(SELECT * FROM songs WHERE pwd='$pwd');
$screen = mysql_fetch_array($result);
$username = $screen['username'];
// initialize the twitter class
$twitter = new Twitter($username);
// fetch your profile in xml format
$xml = $twitter-getUserTimeline();
/* display the raw xml
echo 'pre';
echo $xml;
echo '/pre';*/
$twitter_status = new SimpleXMLElement($xml);
foreach($twitter_status-status as $status){
echo 'div class=twitter_status';
foreach($status-user as $user){
}
echo $status-text;
echo $user-followers_count;
echo 'br/';
echo 'div class=twitter_posted_atstrongPosted at:/strong '.
$status-created_at.'/div';

[twitter-dev] Re: stopping bit.ly automatic shortening of urls
Yes, length is considered (I think 24 characters is a number I've heard somewhere). Also, I've heard Al3x say that URL format is also considered. I'm not exactly sure what that entails, but I would guess that some query string characters would make it a candidate for shortening. The best bet is to do the shortening yourself, or create some sort of friendly format to avoid shortening. It would be nice to have some official formatting rules exposed... I'm pretty sure it's not a trade secret :) -Chad On Tue, Jul 7, 2009 at 1:31 PM, Brian Smithbr...@briansmith.org wrote: Infopete wrote: It looks like I get get this much in http://www.infonote.com/tw?1234567890123 before it gets converted to bit.ly Try removing the ?.

[twitter-dev] Re: Streaming API -- Code Change Required: follow parameter delimiter
A prelude to perhaps allowing searching for phrases at a later time? Certainly something that many would find useful and would effectively limit the stream sent over the wires. For instance, at this time, if I would want to capture the phrase Joe Jackson I have to search for the keyword Jackson and then filter out a very large number of statuses containing Michael Jackson.

[twitter-dev] Re: Spamming via addition of trending words to tweets
I'm not sure if this will help in your scenario or not, but a couple of third-party products have been released recently aimed at helping to solve this problem. One is a Firefox plugin called Clean Tweets ( http://www.blvdstatus.com/clean-tweets.html) that works directly with the search results in the browser. The second is a product that I've been working on called TidyTweet (http://tidytweet.com/) that will let you set up a search phrase and numerous filtering options including blocking tweets with multiple trending topics. Once the feed is setup, you get an RSS/ATOM feed or HTML/Javascript widget for embedding on your site. Sorry for the blatant plug, but it seems like it might prove helpful in this case. We're currently in private beta testing, but should be able to accomodate a few more requests. Thanks.
