Re: [twitter-dev] Related Tweets and HTTP 406 error
I'm not familiar with that error yet, but will look into it. Related results, and a number of the other new APIs, are still relatively unstable. They will be unavailable at times, and are not necessarily prepared for widespread use yet. Early adopters will have to tolerate a certain amount of mystery from them.

Re: [twitter-dev] Can I tell how many tweets have been made by users of my app?
There's no way to track how many tweets your application has sent currently, save for tracking it yourself. The Search API does provide some facilities for searching by application source, but does not contain all tweets in the system. Also, tweets created by an application is not necessarily the best/only signal of its usage.

[twitter-dev] Re: Miscellaneous #newtwitter glitches
Quoting M. Edward (Ed) Borasky zn...@borasky-research.net: 2. There's some kind of Javascript / CSS issue with the left panel in Chrome / Chromium 7. Everything is cool in Firefox 3.6, and I haven't tried older versions of Chrome. I'm not quite sure how to reproduce this reliably yet, but sometimes, when I'm following a trail into the right panel, when I have the mouse in the right panel, the left panel goes completely black. If I move the mouse back into the left panel, it comes back, but slowly - like it's running some kind of intensive Javascript to repaint or making a bunch of API calls to refill a buffer. I'm a total Javascript / CSS / DOM ignoramus, so if someone has some clues as to how I can diagnose this in the Chrome / Chromium debugger, let me know. 3. A related phenomenon - I went to @scobleizer and opened up a tweet. When I moused back into the *left* panel, the left one went blank, exposing the background! But when I mouse back into the right panel, the left one came back rapidly. Again, this is on Chrome / Chromium. I have quite a bit more on these. First of all, it is one issue, not two. They symptom is a. View a timeline in the left panel - this appears to be any timeline. b. Click on the arrow to open a tweet in the right panel. *If* the tweet is tagged with a location, the timeline in the left panel disappears and you see only the background. When I do it on my timeline, I see black - actually a semi-transparent dark grey. On @scobleizer, the background is different. The key is that both of us have location turned on - it's something tied to the display of the little map for the tweet in the right panel. c. Move the mouse into the right panel - the timeline display comes back! Move the mouse back into the left panel and the timeline disappears, leaving you with the background. But wait! There's more! d. There's a scrollbar on the right of the browser. This is the *browser* scrollbar, not the scrollbar in the right panel. When I pull the browser scrollbar down, the little map tied to the tweet stays where it is and the whole page moves up underneath it! If I pull the scrollbar down far enough, I see the background and the little map and a few other things only - everything else on the page disappeared to the top. Again, this is only on Chrome or Chromium 7.0, developer builds - it works fine on Firefox. So I'm willing to call it a Chrome problem - I can post this on the Chrome help forum if you'd like. ;-) -- M.

Re: [twitter-dev] GET Querystring for status update not working on new Twitter
Hi there woodsytime, I'd recommend using a Tweet Button for this kind of integration instead -- your approach is kind of the most low rent approach you can take for this, and is less and less supported -- really, it's a hack. The URL you're presenting in your status update has an unencoded question mark. But even if you properly encoded it, it doesn't look like this kind of URL is passable in this way. Bug on our end? Maybe. What's the context that users would share this URL? Have you considered the Tweet Button? I noticed that even with all of those query parameters, the page you're posting still redirects to the site's home page. What value do the links have to Twitter users who post, read, or click?

And I get this:

I was using an oauth token and secret which twitter gave me before but
that is unusable now..

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Is authentication required to use Streaming API?
Hi D, There are a few different levels of the streaming API. You can use the sample endpoint without any kind of approval from Twitter, using a Twitter account under your control for login. Access beyond the sample end point requires approval -- the process for approval begins at http://twitter.com/help/request_streaming When getting familiar with the streaming API it's best to take a crawl - walk - run approach. Crawling is using the sample stream, walking is moving up to garden hose, and running is going beyond. Taylor On Thu, Oct 7, 2010 at 10:26 AM, D.

Re: [twitter-dev] GET Querystring for status update not working on new Twitter
Hi woodsytime, I wanted to add in here that if you URL encode the URL you are trying to share it will work appropriately. Instead of what you have I would expect the URL to look like this: http://twitter.com/home?status=ASOS%20embellished%20dress%20http%3A%2F%2Fwww.asos.com%2Fpgehtml.aspx%3Fcid%3D8745%26affId%3D2833 One known issue right now is that %26 is converted to in #newtwitter so anything after it is ignored. The team is aware of this and it is being tracked here: http://code.google.com/p/twitter-api/issues/detail?id=1904 To second what Taylor said, consider using the Tweet Button instead of the URL. It provides a better experience for your users and allows them to Tweet without leaving your site.

Maybe. What's the context that users would share this URL? Have you considered the Tweet Button?

Hi Jan, There isn't an API method that will return all replies for a Tweet yet. It's on the list of enhancements requested by the community though. You may see some developers mention the related_tweets method as an option.

[twitter-dev] Still Seeing things twice? Still Seeing things twice? Yes.
Hi everyone, I know Twitter says this was resolved (http://status.twitter.com/post/ 1258614492/seeing-things-twice-seeing-things-twice) but: Direct messages sent through the api are appearing twice for me on the receiver's end (but not for the sender).

Re: [twitter-dev] Use twitterapi.update method to my own account via .net web app without human intervention
You should save the oauth access key/secret you get for the account you want to post to (if it's your application's account, you can get the access keys from the application's page on dev.twitter.com). You can then use your client key/secret and user access key/secret to make calls to the API on that user's behalf without them logging into an actual session of your application.

Re: [twitter-dev] status/update in_reply_to_user_id not being acknowledged
With as often as this comes up, it's obvious that we aren't communicating this clearly and the historical aspect of this isn't obvious: An @reply requires that it begins with the @username of the user being replied to. The in_reply_to_status_id field is not enough to associate the tweets as a reply -- the username must also be present. Also: When using a POST method, don't include your fields/parameters on the query string. Instead, put them in the POST body. You may find someday that passing such parameters on the query string just stops working.

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: How to test for one user following another
I apologize, I was actually saying that you should specify both the source and the target. It was my understanding you needed both, but it looks like when you make an authenticated request (like you do with twurl), you can specify just the target. With that said, I was able to use twurl and specify only the target and get it to work: twurl /friendships/show.xml?target_screen_name=Alternate1985 This used my authenticated user, @tsmango, as the source and gave me the proper response. Is that what your twurl call looked like? Also, if you don't quote the query, you'll have problems with multiple parameters: This one works: twurl /friendships/show.xml?source_screen_name=samvermettetarget_screen_name=Alternate1985 But this one fails with the error you were receiving: twurl /friendships/show.xml?source_screen_name=samvermettetarget_screen_name=Alternate1985 Hope that helps and sorry again for the confusion about needed to specify the source.

[twitter-dev] Re: How to test for one user following another
Sometimes it's the case of simply the URL parser not recognizing the '' sign! I tried using a couple of Python clients to make requests which need more than one parameter -- thus needing the '' sign in the API request URL -- but the clients just break, giving me the same 'Target user not specified' error. Try formulating your request URL in your web browser first (requesting XML output preferably), with example screen names for source_screen_name and target_screen_name. If you're getting a correct response from the web browser, then that means your client needs tweaking to accept multiple parameters.

[twitter-dev] Re: Woe is me, I can't seek what I find (or Search is failing me)
I'm seeing this problem too, but it only started today, around five hours ago. Here's an example search: http://search.twitter.com/search?q=near%3Aedmonton That's returning a fraction of the tweets it was before. This problem happens occasionally, but not usually for this long. On Oct 7, 3:10 pm, @IDisposable idisposa...@gmail.com wrote: Over the last couple months, we've seen some wierd behavior in the responses to search queries. First, I understand the rules about search being non-covering, and that we are at the mercy of the index. That said, I've noticed some odd behavior lately. As background material, we run many searches (and we're white-listed by IP and OAuth account), but the two I want to reference are the Mentions and the Location searches. The Mentions search seems pretty stable and uses this typical search (and then we exclude a bunch of things like Bay St. Louis, etc.):http://search.twitter.com/search.atom?rpp=100q=stl+OR+%23stl+OR+stlo... The Location search has been VERY unstable, and uses this typical search:http://search.twitter.com/search.atom?rpp=100geocode=38.627522%2C-90... As the day progresses, we move up the high-water mark in the since_id to track what we've already received so we should be getting minimal gaps. We almost never see two 100-entry polls in a row, so I think we're keeping up with whatever coverage the search index is offering. I've posted in a Google Spreadsheet a graph of the tweet counts we're seeing since 7/1/2010 so you can see the trends http://bit.ly/9wnnFM (sheet two is the graph). Some interesting things to note: 1) The Mentions search is very consistent. 2) The Location search likes to bounce around a bit. 3) In mid August, we started to have issues with more 403s and error about since_id being too old. We were also getting rate-limited in our calls to get the tweep details (since the ATOM feed is so meager). Due to a bug, I wasn't committing all the tweets when this happened. 4) On or about Sept 1st, you guys did something that broke our ability to stay caught up... we started getting almost no tweets and lots of errors about since_id being too old. I thought this was due to your new tweet id assignment being rolled out. 5) On Sept 5th, I got back from vacation and added logic to understand and use the no new tweets, roll the tweet id forward to this driven by parsing the link rel=refresh node in the ATOM feed. 6) I also, around this time, added better logic to the tweep-lookup detail, only asking you for tweeps I don't have at least a minimal row on. This reduced the number of rate-limiting issues. 7) We were very stable and until 9/23 when volume falls off a lot, and never really recovers. I think this is the new search engine rollout. To research a little more, I tried the Twitter advanced search page and asking for the RSS (atom, really) feed from the advanced search page I get this URL now:http://search.twitter.com/search.atom?geocode=38.627522,-90.19841,30 Which starts off like ours, but adds the (seemingly redundant) human- readable search criteria q=+near:38.627522,-90.19841+within:30mi. Oddly, if we remove that and do the same search at nearly the same instant, I DO get vastly different tweets sets... probably due to volume, possibly just sorting, but I would hope that with the same since_id value, I would get the same tweets... but I don't. So, I'm asking... what's going on? Why are we seeing so much volume fall-off? What can we do about it? Should I be running both searches (my current one and one with the human-readable query) to get better coverage? Is there any hope/expectation of the volume returning to normal? Doesn't anyone else care about tweep-location searches? Now, before you tell me that I should be using Site Streams (which I want to do), realize that I _NEED_ tweets from people whose profile location says they are in St. Louis (and similar) like the old Summize search honored. I can't just get by with the _tweet_ location being STL.

[twitter-dev] rendering user profile in iFrame
Hi, I'm working on a web application and would like to render a user's Twitter profile page in an iFrame. For some reason the profiles are not working, and I'm guessing you have added some type of code to prevent this from happening? Is there a reason why this is not allowed or a way I can enable it? Thank you. -- Twitter developer documentation and resources: http://dev.twitter.com/doc API updates via Twitter: http://twitter.com/twitterapi Issues/Enhancements Tracker: http://code.google.com/p/twitter-api/issues/list Change your membership to this group: http://groups.google.com/group/twitter-development-talk
