[twitter-dev] Getting number of retweets
Hey! I am using c# for streaming tweets into my application. What I know about a tweet is it's author and text. I would like to get the total count of retweets on the imported tweet.

Dear Please Sir to Your Kindness, Please consider the following: Open the find friends function to developers. I.e. Developer can submit a bulk of email addresses of user to Twitter for purpose of friend matching. And while you're at it: Allow developers to subscribe new users to your service, also via API. It's like kids selling magazine subscriptions. It works. Finally: Get your asses out of the clouds. When these are done, please notify me.

[twitter-dev] Pulling data from Twitter
Hi, I am new to Twitter API and only know that we can pull someone's Twitter feed from Twitter through RSS feed on that person's Twitter page/ profile. But, how can I pull more information of that person's Twitter page? For instance, 1. His/ Her followers. 2. Total of his/ her retweet items. You can take a look here for what I mean above, http://www.qapture.net/ There are a couple of interesting things I still cannot figure them out how they did this website, 1. If you compare the particular person's twitter feed on this website with that person's twitter page, some of the items are pull in qapture website, but some are not, so I think they must have select certain items of feed only - how do they do that?? 2. If you mouse over an item of feed on qapture website, you can see other information of that feed item, such as '9 hours ago', '6 tweet(s)', etc - how do you get that information from? Which area of Twitter API that I should look into to achieve the matters above...? Many thanks! Lau

You'll find more info on the API website: http://developer.semiocast.com Regarding the feature you are looking for, we made a request to Twitter to be able to redistribute a filtered API, so we will be able to provide something closer to what you are looking for. You can, more or less, achieve the same today with our current state of the API but it'll be more plumbing on your side.

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Home_timeline and retweets
I don't think that you're doing anything wrong - it's just a quirk of the API - you don't get any info in your home timeline on stuff you retweeted. I think this is because of the condition that you should never see a retweet if you would have seen it already in your timeline. This stops you from seeing the latest popular tweet retweeted 100 times from each of your followers if you follow the person who originally tweeted it. However, I guess it also stops you seeing that you have retweeted a tweet, as theoretically you've already seen it. I think I've made that more complicated than it actually is... The only thing that you can do is to get the Home Timeline and then merge retweets_of_me in over the top. Tom On Mon, Jul 5, 2010 at 4:03 PM, luisg luisfmgoncal...@gmail.com wrote: Can somebody help?

[twitter-dev] oauth_sign - simple C code to generate an OAuth signature
Last week I finished converting my homebrew Twitter apps to OAuth. There were four parts to this effort, one of which includes a significant new piece of OAuth software. I'll talk about each part in turn. Part 0: Deciding to do it. My apps are command-line based and call Twitter using my equivalents of curl, called http_get and http_post. These are simple command-line programs that make an HTTP call. What I needed was a simple command-line program to make an OAuth-signed HTTP call. Did that already exist? Sort of - there was Marcel Molina's twurl: http://github.com/marcel/twurl Only problem is that it's written in Ruby, which I do not have installed and am not really intrerested in installing. For those of us who want to stick with plain old C or possibly C++, the only available OAuth code is liboauth: http://liboauth.sourceforge.net/ This includes code to link with libcurl and make signed HTTP calls. It's pretty huge - 1.6 megabytes of source. I tried it anyway. Unfortunately I couldn't get to work on my system. So I was kind of stuck, and decided to roll my own. Part 1: Generating OAuth signatures. I figured that instead of writing a program to make signed HTTP calls directly, I would write something that generates the signature header, and then use that with my existing HTTP callers. I worked my way through RFC5849 for a few weeks and came up with this, which is the main reason for this message: http://acme.com/software/oauth_sign/ There's both a library call and a command-line program. Written in C, 20 KB of source, Berkeley-style license. It interoperates with Twitter, and I checked it for memory leaks - clean. The only library it depends on is OpenSSL's libcrypto, which should be present on any modern system. If you try it, please let me know about any portability issues, for example srandomdev() probably doesn't exist on non-FreeBSD systems. Part 2: Getting OAuth tokens. Once I had the signature generator working, this part took about a day to set up. You can see it here: http://acme.com/twitter/ - one HTML/JavaScript page that calls a few CGIs. Feel free to run through the authorization process if you like, and/or read the .js file. Even though this was relatively easy, I feel I should not have needed to do it. Rather than making every app developer write pretty much the same thing, Twitter should provide, as an option, a generic authorization page that works for any app. Given that, writing simple command-line Twitter apps would once again be nice and easy. Part 3: Adapting my apps to use the new code. This part was trivial. Where they used to call http_get/http_post, now they first call oauth_sign and then pass the signature header to http_get/http_post. It's literally just a couple extra lines of code. However, my app's consumer token secret have to be built into the code, therefore I can no longer distribute these apps for others to use. Supposedly Twitter has a solution in the works for open-source apps like this. When that becomes available I'll check it out and see if it solves this. --- Jef Jef Poskanzer j...@mail.acme.com http://acme.com/jef/

[twitter-dev] Can't get geotagging to work.
Hi guys,
I'm having problems with submitting my geo-location with a status.
I'm using the twitteroauth (PHP, by abraham on github) which works
pretty fine. My call looks like this
$parameters = array(
'status'= 'This is a call',
'lat' = 37.78,
'long' = -122.40,
'display_coordinates' = 1,
);
$status = $connection-post('statuses/update', $parameters);
The status is being submitted, though the result doesn't contain any
geodata.
It looks like this:
Object
(
[coordinates] =
[in_reply_to_screen_name] =
[truncated] =
[source] = My Test App
[created_at] = Mon Jul 05 14:51:37 + 2010
[geo] =
[in_reply_to_status_id] =
[contributors] =

(
[favourites_count] = 0

[profile_text_color] = 00
[time_zone] = Greenland
[profile_link_color] = ff
[lang] = de
[profile_background_image_url] =

[profile_use_background_image] = 1
[followers_count] = 0
[screen_name] = MyTestAccount
[name] = Well this is a Test
[contributors_enabled] =
[friends_count] = 0
[url] =
[id] = 1234567890
[geo_enabled] = 1
[utc_offset] = -10800
[profile_background_color] = fff
)
[in_reply_to_user_id] =
[place] =
[favorited] =
[id] = 1234567890
[text] = This is a call
)
As you can see geo_enabled is true, coordinates and geo are empty.
So my lat and long parameters are ignored.
Also with a place_id it doesn't work.
This is definitely not a problem with twitteroauth.
I tested with the old API, which is still available.
curl -u {USER}:{PASSWORD} -d status=This is a
calllat=51.52362long=12.38064 https://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/update.xml
Which results in the same result. This exact same call worked back on
may 11th, when I took my first steps with the Twitter API.
Can anyone pls point me in the right direction? Is this working at all
at the moment or is it just disabled?
Kind regards,
Daniel

[twitter-dev] Failed to validate oauth signature and token using ColdFusion8
Hello I've been trying to solve this since Friday to no avail. I've
searched and used tips from a bunch of other discussions here but I
still haven't gotten it right.
I'm using ColdFusion 8 to generate my OAuth signature. These are the
tweaks I've done from tips in this discussion list:
1) For the timestamp I convert to UTC time with this function:
var nowUTC = dateConvert('local2UTC', now());
var epochStart = CreateDateTime('1970','1','1','00','00','00');
var timestamp = dateDiff(s, epochStart, nowUTC);
This results in these values:
nowUTC = {ts '2010-07-05 17:22:30'}
epochStart = {ts '1970-01-01 00:00:00'}
timestamp = 1278346950
2) For the Nonce I use ColdFusion's createUUID function and then,
based on this (http://www.cflib.org/udf/CreateGUID) from CFLib.org I
convert that UUID into a GUID like so:
var uuid = createUUID();
//Convert the UUID to a GUID by inserting a dash in the 23rd position
var nonce = insert(-, uuid, 23);
This is an example of a resulting nonce:
A3A1648E-F1F0-4032-75F4-712F676BE7E6
3) The most difficult part, and where I'm sure the error is, is the
SHA1 hashing, ColdFusion sucks at it so I'm using Java in the
function:
cffunction name=javaHMAC returntype=string access=public
output=false
cfargument name=signKey type=string required=true
/
cfargument name=signMessage type=string required=true /
cfscript
var jMsg =
javaCast(string,arguments.signMessage).getBytes(UTF8);
var jKey =
javaCast(string,arguments.signKey).getBytes(UTF8);
var key =
createObject(java,javax.crypto.spec.SecretKeySpec);
var mac = createObject(java,javax.crypto.Mac);
var ret = ;
key = key.init(jKey,HmacSHA1);
mac = mac.getInstance(key.getAlgorithm());
mac.init(key);
mac.update(jMsg);
ret = lCase(binaryEncode(mac.doFinal(), 'Hex'));
return(ret);
/cfscript
/cffunction
When I sign the base using my Consumer Secret appended by a using
this function the result is something like this:
01eb730a110b1e09ccc9bbff9dbca73c5047f4d4
Here's the Signature Base and the Header I create (my consumer key is
masked for security reasons):

What I'm after is a full sample of what data might appear in the geo/ , coordinates/ and place/ tags, when they're populated. At present I've only seen some inner georss:point tags, but I'm curious what else may appear within these.

Re: [twitter-dev] Streaming API and Oauth
Quoting John Kalucki: We haven't announced our plans for streaming and oAuth, beyond stating that User Streams will only be on oAuth. Right now, basic auth and oAuth both work on streaming, and that won't change when basic for REST turns off. Since there's no set shutdown date yet for basic/streaming, I wouldn't expect it to happen soon.

Most specifically, while I know that the Streaming API end-point now supports OAuth, I do not know if Streaming will require OAuth come August 16th... can someone please clarify. TIA.
[twitter-dev] Invalid timescale error on location trends
I'm trying to use the trends/location/woeid functionality (http:// dev.twitter.com/doc/get/trends/location/:woeid) and keep on getting the following error: code: 31 message: Invalid timescale: must be 'current', 'hourly', or 'daily' The documentation doesn't specify anything about sending in a timescale. I try and send in the timescale=current as a parameter, however it still gives me the same error. I've tried using different woeid's and they all result in the same error. Using the twitter provided console also yields the same error (http:// dev.twitter.com/console). Any insight is appreciated. Thanks, Heidi
[twitter-dev] Re: Home_timeline and retweets
So, instead of 1, now I have to do 2 call (one for the home_timeline and another for the retweets_of_me). I started to understand the 'Tiwtter is over capacity' error! ...ridiculous...

This stops you from seeing the latest popular tweet retweeted 100 times from each of your followers if you follow the person who originally tweeted it.

[twitter-dev] Re: Need example about get info twittercounter api
Not sure if you can get all that info with the Twitter API. But for followers and tweets, you can get them using user/show: ... followers_count1031/followers_count ... statuses_count3390/statuses_count ... check here: http://apiwiki.twitter.com/Twitter-REST-API-Method%3A-statuses%C2%A0friends The number of friends, maybe with this one: http://apiwiki.twitter.com/Twitter-REST-API-Method%3A-statuses%C2%A0friends Luis On Jul 5, 8:55 am, doremon dungdet...@gmail.com wrote: - Now i want to make site get some info like twittercounter.com, But i can not get full information like twittercounter .

Re: [twitter-dev] Geo XML Format Query
hi steve. there are two different ways to geotag a tweet. there is geotagging with an exact latitude and longitude, and then there is geotagging with a place. when you geotag with an exact latitude and longitude, the coordinates (and geo) attributes will be filled. additionally, if twitter has data for that area of the world, we will also immediately populate the place attribute with the contextual information. it is possible that we don't have data for that location, at which point the place attribute will be empty. you can also geotag with a place -- that's a neighborhood, a city, state, point of interest, etc. when somebody does that, only the place attribute is filled. take a look at http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/show/17536619739.xml as that has all the fields populated. hope that helps!

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Home_timeline and retweets
i don't think ridiculous is the right term :P we're constantly evolving the API to match up with what our developers are trying to do! so - that being said - what are you looking for? are you trying to figure out which tweets on the home timeline has the authenticating user retweeted?

hi lau. check out http://dev.twitter.com/doc - the methods that you need to call are all documented there.

You can take a look here for what I mean above, http://www.qapture.net/ There are a couple of interesting things I still cannot figure them out how they did this website, 1. If you compare the particular person's twitter feed on this website with that person's twitter page, some of the items are pull in qapture website, but some are not, so I think they must have select certain items of feed only - how do they do that?? 2. If you mouse over an item of feed on qapture website, you can see other information of that feed item, such as '9 hours ago', '6 tweet(s)', etc - how do you get that information from?

[twitter-dev] Friend and Follower count - since timestamp
My app http://justunfollow.com extensively uses the friends/ids and followers/ids API. Since twitter users have a lot of followers and friends and this API is paginated, I find it repetitive to use it. A since param that sends me all new friend and follower ids of a user along with the deleted ids (when someone stops being a friend or follower) would help a lot. I checked the documentation but found no mention of this. Please help!
