[twitter-dev] Retweet API documentation inconsistency
Hi all, This may just be my misunderstanding, but there seems to be an inconsistency between the documentation and actual behaviour of the / statuses/retweet API call. The documentation is here - http://dev.twitter.com/doc/post/statuses/retweet It implies that you should be able to post a message to https://api.twitter.com/statuses/retweet.json passing an id=tweetid parameter in the post body, and it will work. However it does not, as you can see with this sample request: curl https://api.twitter.com/statuses/retweet.json -u user:pass -d id=13199148131 However this request: curl https://api.twitter.com/statuses/retweet/13199148131.json -u user:pass -d id=13199148131 seems to work. It also implies this request should work, where it also does not: curl https://api.twitter.com/statuses/retweet.json?id=13199148131 -u user:pass -d id=13199148131 Any clarification on this matter is greatly appreciated. Many thanks Chris Alexander

[twitter-dev] Search API or Streaming API?
I plan to build a search engine which would utilize the search APIs. Should I be using the Twitter Search API or the Streaming API to do the same? What is the difference between the two and would the Streaming API work on the Google App Engine?
[twitter-dev] API method: favorites/create returns This method requires a GET.
Hello, I have a question about the favorites/create method. Here: http://dev.twitter.com/doc/post/favorites/create, it says that this method support POST, but I get HTTP status: 400 with the error message: This method requires a GET. I tried accessing http://.../favorites/create?id=[status_id] with the POST data, but still got the same error. Then I tried http://.../favorites/create/[status_id].xml, then the request was normally accepted. Is this the correct way to use this method? ( ... I don't think it should be)
[twitter-dev] MGTwitterEngine with OAuth and XAuth support
Hey everyone, I'm one of the collaborators on the MGTwitterEngine project for Mac and iPhone developers. We've finished our initial implementation of OAuth and XAuth support within MGTwitterEngine. This uses the OAuthConsumer framework to handle the business end of OAuth, meaning that there are only a couple new MGTwitterEngine APIs you need to use (and we've got a wiki guide for migrating to OAuth). We expect most users of the framework to want to use XAuth to obtain an access token, so we have a convenience API for handling that (of course, you'll need to obtain the opt-in from Twitter). After getting XAuth access, it shouldn't take more than a half hour to get set up to obtain your access token and start sending requests. We're also planning on releasing a new version of MGTwitterEngine with support for some new APIs and bug fixes, as well as OAuth. We're hoping to get this out by WWDC, or at least before the OAuth deadline. We're aware of the buffer needed for App Store approval, so we'll be trying to finish this up ASAP. You can grab the code from the project page here: http://github.com/mattgemmell/MGTwitterEngine/ You can read the migration guide here: http://wiki.github.com/mattgemmell/MGTwitterEngine/migrating-from-basic-auth-to-oauthxauth Feedback is always welcome. If you have any issues, please file them in the project issue tracker here: http://github.com/mattgemmell/MGTwitterEngine/issues Now stop using basic auth already. Thanks, Steve

[twitter-dev] Suspended users
When I call users/show, if the user is not found, then I get a 'Not Found' error. If the user exists, but has been suspended by Twitter, what's the error message? Are there different messages for temporary suspension, and permanent suspension?
