Dear John, Great thanks for your info. My accounts to have streaming API traffic are @frostia_rina and @frosita_solage . @frostia_rina is for garden hose on development environment and @frostia_solage is for 'sample' on production environment. The situation is the same as Tim. Both garden hose and sample have 1/3 - 1/5 as much traffic as usual. Hope you rescue me.

Re: [twitter-dev] How is this a solution?
Excerpts from Cameron Kaiser's message of Fri Jul 16 01:00:55 -0400 2010: Actually, no. The process creates a completely new app key and secret cloned from the original one. They do not have anything in common with each other apart from the name and branding (and the user can change it later; it's just a regular old app key). You can see this in action by looking at TTYtter, which uses the process. They are not the same key and secret at all. When was this process turned on? (I just checked out TTYtter and indeed, it works.) I asked for an update a couple weeks ago but I hadn't seen anything here or on the announce list, so I assumed other things had taken priority. -- things change. deck...@red-bean.com

[twitter-dev] Checking if a user still has authorized access of my application
Hi, I would like to know if it is possible to check if a user still allows my application to access his twitter account. We are building an application that will post tweets on the user's account and read new tweets from his account. Therefore i would like to check if the user hasn't revoked access of the application via his profile. So, is there something like getPermissions or maybe a callback for when a users revokes access?

[twitter-dev] oauth_callback breaks request_token call
Hi All, I'm desperately trying to migrate to the OAuth API before the 16th of august but the API is not working with me. The problem is a the request_token stage of the flow.

[twitter-dev] A feed greater equivalent to the old gardenhose?
Just saw the posting about the reduction in the gardenhose (and sprtizer) feeds ( http://t.co/d6o1npx ). So for those of us who need the additional data and are designed around it (and can consume it), is there a way to get that level of feed back? For me in particular this is going to significantly hamper the app that I'm working on and was looking to launch in a few weeks. Help...? Sanjay
Re: [twitter-dev] A feed greater equivalent to the old gardenhose?
You can request greater levels of Streaming access by sending a message to a...@twitter.com from the email address associated with your Twitter account. It's best to describe in detail how you'll use the data (sampling, keyword tracking, geo, and the number of variables and rates you're looking to employ), as well as the benefits it brings to users and background information about your organization and products.

Re: [twitter-dev] A feed greater equivalent to the old gardenhose?
In addition to the note from Taylor, I think it's a good idea to remind people that stream contents are identical - it's absolutely no use and a waste of resources to consume more than one sample stream. Just pick the largest one - that will contain all messages you can get.

Re: [twitter-dev] Checking if a user still has authorized access of my application
I'd have thought calling verify_credentials would do it - you'll get a 401 and a specific error message to tell you that the key is no longer valid. Alternatively, why not try to perform your actions (like posting a tweet or retrieving tweets) and if they return a 401, use that to indicate that the user has revoked permissions.

Re: [twitter-dev] oauth_callback breaks request_token call
Hi Herman, You shouldn't include the oauth_token parameter in the request token step regardless.. Are you sure that you don't get a separate (but similar) error when you aren't including the oauth_token parameter in either portion of the request? Are you sure you are using the HTTP method POST when the request is actually executed? What's the actual URL you are executing, does it include any of these OAuth parameters? Your signature base string seems correct in structure, as well as your authorization header, properly escaped. Have you compared your timestamp to the time returned by the server?

Re: [twitter-dev] Checking if a user still has authorized access of my application
Tom is correct. The easiest way to check if your application is still allowed by the user is to call verify_credentials. This is a read-only call without any parameters which will return 200 OK if you are allowed access and 401 if you are not.

[twitter-dev] Re: oauth_callback breaks request_token call
Ok, this one might be useful for others as well. The application was registered as a client instead of a browser app. My app is an iPhone app but it uses the browser for the OAuth part, so it should have been browser type. Created a new app with the type set to browser and it works fine now.

[twitter-dev] Upload Image to TwitPic OAuth 401 Unauthorized
Hi,
Can anyone please help, been at this for days?
I'm working with ASP.NET C# and trying to upload photo image to
Twitpic.
I am trying to use the OAuth procedure, but keep getting
The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized.
This is where I'm at...
