[twitter-dev] need ability to search retweets

2009-09-20 Thread Jim Gilliam
Right now, retweets show up in the search API, but with the new retweet system, it appears all retweets will be yanked from the search API, and there will be no way to get all retweets that match a particular keyword. This is a problem for my http://act.ly application. It's Twitter petitions,

[twitter-dev] Deleting a Retweeted Tweet

2009-09-20 Thread Dewald Pretorius
With the new retweeting, what happens with retweets if the original tweet is deleted, or the author's account is closed or suspended? Do all the retweets of that tweet also just disappear with it? Dewald

An access token can be used by your application to authenticate and act as that use for any of the REST API. Using your consumer token and the users access token you sign API calls which Twitter verifies and accepts/denys. I would recommend reading more about OAuth on http://oauth.net. Abraham On
