[twitter-dev] I'm sure you guys know this, but ...
I'm experiencing multiple chaotic symptoms on the main web application. 1. I post a tweet. I get Internal System Error but the tweet posts. 2. I go to my home page http://twitter.com/znmeb and it's totally blank. 3. I see multiple copies of tweets and other people see multiple copies of mine. 4. Under the tweet box, under the location it says, Share your first tweet with the world 5. The retweet button was gone, but now it's back. This is in addition to the fail whales, which seem to have gone away. It looks to me like code is being switched in and out of operation in a somewhat unplanned manner. Ordinary folks are starting to ask me WTF and I have no clue. The good news is that the places selection in the web application is giving me a bigger list of possible places. I'm trying now to see what's being posted in the tweets.

Hi Developers,
Today we're launching some of the functionality around Places that we
announced at Chirp. You can read more about the feature
here:http://blog.twitter.com/2010/06/twitter-places-more-context-for-your
The launch comes with a batch of API enhancements, with a number of further
API additions just around the corner (like creating and updating places,
obviously a crucial component for many implementors).
The documentation in this area is a honestly a bit light at the moment, but
we'll be offering some more comprehensive documentation going over suggested
use cases, flows, and more in the coming days.
What matters most for you:
- GET geo/nearby_places is now GET geo/search, with some added
functionality. This is a companion to GET geo/reverse_geocode, that's ideal
for using in conjunction with a place selection UI.
Read all about it at :http://bit.ly/dvNmYB
- A query parameter called query lets you do textual matching when
trying to find a place
- A query parameter called ip lets you do a lookup based on an IP
address
- You can fine tune results with granularity, accuracy, and the
contained_within parameter, which allows you to identify a place_id
(matching something like a city), and only search for places within that
place.
- place tags in XML output, place attribute in JSON output:
Tweets that have a place_id associated with them can now contain some
additional information not available in the past, including some attributes
that further describe the location.
Some common place/attributes you might start seeing:
- name
- street_address
- locality
- region
- phone
- postal_code
- twitter (a twitter account associated with the place)
- cross_streets
Attribute key names can be variant. These are just some of the attribute
keys you will see, with much more to come.
Here's a quick XML representation of a status with a place:

[twitter-dev] confirmation about Twitterbot/0.1
Hi Is this useragent actually from Twitter (Twitterbot/0.1)? 128.242.241.133 - - [15/Jun/2010:17:36:29 +0900] HEAD /support/signup/ null.html HTTP/1.1 200 - - Twitterbot/0.1 I found a post saying it is probably in Twitter's IPs range. http://www.jongales.com/blog/2010/04/14/whats-twitterbot0-1/ I made a dummy page and tweeted it just once and noticed that the bot has two hits with the same timestamp. In other words two HEAD requests at practically the same time. Heard from another developer that it his site was hit many more times. I'm guessing this might be related to the duplicate tweet posting issue today. http://status.twitter.com/post/699623494/site-availability-issues-due-to-failed-enhancement-of It would be nice to have a contact URL or email address in the user agent when there are issues like this. (a url with info that explains the bot and policy is probably best practice so people know who owns the bot.) - Steve Stephen Rife DIgital Garage http://twitter.com/melobubu

Re: [twitter-dev] TwitPic oAuth Echo Help! - PHP
One thing to watch out for with OAuth Echo is that you don't actually execute the verify_credentials call yourself when you're building the authorization header for the request -- by doing so, you will have marked the oauth_nonce you used as already processed. Looking at your code, I don't think that's your issue. Your code shows you tacking on the oauth_token to the authorization header, but it needs to be part of your entire signed request. You should be using your oauth_token while building your signature base string, and then use your oauth_token_secret as part of the composite signing key you use to sign the request -- then generate your HTTP header and attach it to the OAuth Echo request to twitpic.

[twitter-dev] Profile image uploads not working (using twitter-async)
I'm trying to upload profile images using oAuth. This basically works
(I get the right return data, no errors), except that the image is not
updated. Sending tweets through the same library does work, so this
probably isn't an authentication issue.
As per the twitter-async documentation, I'm using:
$twitterObj-post('/account/update_profile_image.json', array('@image'
= '@'.$img_path));
$img_path is the correct path (+filename) for the file, I've checked
the folder name using phpinfo, used a test image, etc.
Since I'm not getting errors, this issue is very hard to troubleshoot
from my end. Suggestions on how to tackle this very welcome.

Re: [twitter-dev] Profile image uploads not working (using twitter-async)
The image upload facilities at Twitter are in need of some love (and are
being worked on!) -- they'll often throw a 500 error and actually update the
image, or show a 500 error and not update the image.. it should, in general,
function better and more reliably in the near future. The current site
issues make it sometimes difficult to have clarity on how something failed,
and at what stage.

Re: [twitter-dev] undo retweets in stream api
Yes, the original tweet was not deleted. Some of the retweets were deleted.
Actually we noticed this problem when one of the tweet's retweet count
seemed higher than it was shown in twitter. (both not exceeding 100)
I do not know if twitter acts retweets as a reply-to-user and sends it to
our stream.
so we do not know wheter some of these retweet messages come from the users
whom we do not follow.
But so far, our retweet scores were always smaller than it was shown in
twitter and we thought it was caused because of the fact that we do not
follow everyone that might retweet the tweet.

Re: [twitter-dev] undo retweets in stream api
Various counts are off on Twitter right now, so you shouldn't be
basing much on counts.
If you are following the original tweeter, you get the retweet, but
not the deletion. If you are following the retweeter, you get both the
retweet and the deletion notice. This is due to a limitation in the
deletion message format -- there isn't enough information to route the
message in the first case. This affects several streaming use cases,
and is a known issue that we, eventually, hope to fix the next time
we're in that part of the code.
One workaround, albeit often impractical, is to take the full firehose
and do the correlation on your end.

Yes, the original tweet was not deleted. Some of the retweets were deleted.
Actually we noticed this problem when one of the tweet's retweet count
seemed higher than it was shown in twitter. (both not exceeding 100)
I do not know if twitter acts retweets as a reply-to-user and sends it to
our stream.
so we do not know wheter some of these retweet messages come from the users
whom we do not follow.
But so far, our retweet scores were always smaller than it was shown in
twitter and we thought it was caused because of the fact that we do not
follow everyone that might retweet the tweet.

Hello,

Is undoing a retweet message is different than deleting a status?

Hey Abraham, You have been a big part of the life blood on this list. Sad I won't see you around that much. Twitter's dev growth has exploded since I got involved over 24 months ago and ever since then I noticed you have been all over this list and one of the biggest rockstars for the twitter dev community. Almost infamous. I literally seen people seeking you out just to meet you at that dev meet up we had here in SF earlier this year after you tweeted you were there which is pretty epic. You have posted 1154 messages to this list which is just shy from being the top poster (just ~50 behind Al3x from when he was around). That number just blows my mind. You not being here as much will make a huge dent that will be really hard to fill. Hope for the best in your quest for a work and hope we can work on something awesome together someday.

Re: [twitter-dev] Is there any way to get the tweet conference history at one API?
If you're looking for all tweets matching a specific hashtag, you'll find that the Search API won't help you too much after the fact, as it only keeps results for tweets from the last 10 days or so (besides Search not being a verbatim representation/search engine for *all* tweets on Twitter). There are many third party integrations that archive tweets, especially those associated with a conference (TwapperKeeper for instance: http://twapperkeeper.com/index.php ) The best way to get all tweets for a conference is by preparing a bit beforehand and using the Streaming API to track the conference's hashtag, consuming tweets as they happen.

At first I thought it might be on our end. As we use the API to make tweets via a custom script in our CMS. However, the script records successful posts and then stops posting and the repeating tweet was recorded as a successful post and our system never sent it to Twitter again. Anyway it appears to have stopped so I guess all is good. :)

[twitter-dev] Re: Recent Places-related API enhancements more to come...
I can't really test this right now because geo services are currently disabled, but does this mean that the geo/reverse_geocode and geo/ search api methods both return places in addition to neighborhoods and cities now? I understand they are all technically places but I mean business entities alongside neighborhoods and cities. Are they all mixed together now? If so, is there a way to get either business listings *or* geographic regions? I understand you guys now own GeoAPI so you're probably coming from a similar point of view and I realize that their entities are nested, as in a business is contained within some geographic region, yet both are considered entities. Anyhow, as you said, the documentation is kind of light for geo/search so I'm just a bit confused as to the data that's actually returned. Unfortunately, the application and service I work on has been using geo/reverse_geocode for a while now to attach cities (specifically cities) to tweets that run through our service and we've been planning to submit our app to Apple tomorrow.

This is a companion to GET geo/reverse_geocode, that's ideal for using in conjunction with a place selection UI. Read all about it at :http://bit.ly/dvNmYB - A query parameter called query lets you do textual matching when trying to find a place - A query parameter called ip lets you do a lookup based on an IP address - You can fine tune results with granularity, accuracy, and the contained_within parameter, which allows you to identify a place_id (matching something like a city), and only search for places within that place. - place tags in XML output, place attribute in JSON output: Tweets that have a place_id associated with them can now contain some additional information not available in the past, including some attributes that further describe the location. Some common place/attributes you might start seeing: - name - street_address - locality - region - phone - postal_code - twitter (a twitter account associated with the place) - cross_streets Attribute key names can be variant.

[twitter-dev] anywhere link overriding
Is there any possibility to change the anywhere links to include target=_blank attribute and value in order to open in a new window? -- Furkan Kuru
Re: [twitter-dev] V2-roadmap access
Then perhaps I should ask my real question. I'm working on a system for broadcasting messages to subsets of our users and we have set up separate accounts for each subset. However, the company I work for does not want these tweets to be fully public (they are not overly sensitive but nonetheless...) but if I make the accounts protected, then I can not automatically have our customers follow us since there is no function in the api for accepting pending friend requests. So my two options are to make a human login and periodically click the 'Accept all' link on several different accounts or I can write a bot to do it (which I'm sure someone will tell me is a bad idea). I noticed that there were a couple bug reports about this issue but they were closed with links to the now apparently defunct V2-Roadmap page and obviously no solution in the last two years since the first bug was filed.

At the moment, no. You'll need to do that yourself. Not too difficult though, since @Anywhere stamps each link with a class of twitter-anywhere-user.

Re: [twitter-dev] V2-roadmap access
Let me boil it down to the simplest case. I have a protected account that I want to use to provide notifications to my users (but only my users). I have oauth completely set up to let my users authorize me to their twitter accounts. I can then make their twitter account follow me. Except, since I'm protected, that following request isn't honored until I accept the pending follow requests. Currently there is no 'friendships/accept' type API method so I have effectively done nothing until a human presses the accept button. So since this isn't going to work any time soon via the api, am I likely to get myself banned if I write a bot that periodically logs in and 'clicks' the accept all pending follower requests link that I as a human can see? And by periodically I think I mean once an hour or less.

However, the company I work for does not want these tweets to be fully public (they are not overly sensitive but nonetheless...) but if I make the accounts protected, then I can not automatically have our customers follow us since there is no function in the api for accepting pending friend requests. So my two options are to make a human login and periodically click the 'Accept all' link on several different accounts or I can write a bot to do it (which I'm sure someone will tell me is a bad idea). I noticed that there were a couple bug reports about this issue but they were closed with links to the now apparently defunct V2-Roadmap page and obviously no solution in the last two years since the first bug was filed. Is there any chance this functionality will be coming to the api any time soon or will I be forced to code around it indefinitely?

We're currently rethinking what V2 might look like with fresh eyes.

Is that intentional and if so is there some place I can go to request access? I don't see any obvious way to signup and login into the necessary workspace on pbwiki.
[twitter-dev] Links stripped from tweets
Hi there, I'm fetching the latest tweet from a list of users through /users/lookup in the REST API. I've noticed that all links (commonly tweet pics etc) are stripped from the xpath //users/user/ status/text. Why does twitter strip links and is there a way to reinstate them. Thanks.
[twitter-dev] Trouble generating OAuth signature
Hello all.
I'm trying to write a simple application that sends an update Hello World
on behalf of my own twitter account. Therefore, I got my access token and
secret in my dev.twitter webpage and hardcoded it into the code (which I
hided for making it public): http://pastebin.com/n6Ba5nrW
However, I keep getting the following response:
{request:/1/statuses/update.json,error:Incorrect signature}
I'm doing the whole process by reading this guide:
http://dev.twitter.com/pages/auth
But I just cannot get it to work. What am I doing wrong during the signature
assembly ?
Thanks in advance!
Felipe
Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Repeat Tweets
Taylor, There's a sample of six consecutive tweets. http://twitter.com/AppleWalker/status/16204554355 http://twitter.com/AppleWalker/status/16204551280 http://twitter.com/AppleWalker/status/16204548302 http://twitter.com/AppleWalker/status/16204545368 http://twitter.com/AppleWalker/status/16204542279 http://twitter.com/AppleWalker/status/16204539134 Andy Matsubara On Wed, Jun 16, 2010 at 4:21 AM, methnen meth...@gmail.com wrote: Can you provide some links to the repeated tweets? While things were at their worse last night, it was very easy for duplicate updates to get processed but that shouldn't be the case now. We manually deleted them and it now appears to have stopped. Are you sure that the client you were using isn't trying to re-post tweets on your behalf, thinking they haven't been posted yet? At first I thought it might be on our end. As we use the API to make tweets via a custom script in our CMS. However, the script records successful posts and then stops posting and the repeating tweet was recorded as a successful post and our system never sent it to Twitter again. Anyway it appears to have stopped so I guess all is good. :)
[twitter-dev] Re: Dev Portal Login
Logging in via twitter.com then going to the portal site worked. Thanks Taylor! -Brian On Jun 15, 2:55 pm, Taylor Singletary taylorsinglet...@twitter.com wrote: Sorry for all the issues around this login -- I really want to get this login functioning correctly but we've had some system-wide changes recently that have made some elements of fixing this for reals though difficult. It's an incredibly basic issue that's overcomplicated by the particularities of our production environment, the interaction of SSL, and subdomains. I hope to have it fixed by the end of the week. For now -- login to twitter.com, then go to the portal.
