[twitter-dev] Re: Best way of finding favorites of a user's statuses
Hi Tobias That's not available via the REST API but available on our site Favorious at: http://favorious.com If you want an API solution, the only way as far as I know is to: 1. Either use Site Streaming API for the users that you want (you get notified once a tweet of theirs has beenn favorited) or 2. Use the REST API to get people's favorites and then look which ones are from users that you are interested in. That's obviously a brute- force solution but this is what sites like Favorious have been doing. Cheers Georgios Favorious - The best of Twitter, based on favorites. On Nov 11, 11:16 am, Tobias C.

Hi Taylor,
First, thanks for the answer.
I'm using Phirehose lib to PHP, the native json_decode($status,TRUE) from
PHP and after json decode I'm using mysql_real_escape_string for the string
fields. I see now that my log routine use mysql escape either before query.
So this examples are escaped according this mysql procedure.
Here is the amount of tweets with this problem. That's when json_decode
didn't work, so there's no id_str or new_id_str in my $status[] array, then
it's throw an error and log it with the json status. I can send you all
these status if you want it.

I monitored the sample stream this morning for a few hours for instances

Do you know how your library is handling escaped quote values like \ ?
How many of these did you observe?

Re: [twitter-dev] Twitter Feed Randomly Disappears and Reappears
Hi Taylor, It looks like you're using a Twitter API widget on oscars.org -- the Twitter API is rate limited by IP address -- if you're on a network with a lot of other people (in an office building with a shared external IP address, for example), often the amount of API calls that can be made to Twitter are exhausted by all the shared traffic. When I look at oscars.org, the visibility of the feed is dependent on the IP address I'm accessing from. One way to mitigate this perspectival issue: - Instead of using a pre-packaged Twitter widget, implement the logic yourself, server-side. You can then control how frequently the feed is fetched, allowing you to cache results and insure that a fetch is not required for each page load of your site. It's likely that the average visitor to your site will not see this issue express itself.

[twitter-dev] Re: Twitter streaming API using oauth with tracks that have spaces?
Taylor, Thanks for your response. The crux might be Normalizing spaces to %20, and avoiding + is also a best practice. tweetstream4j uses Apache's HttpClient 4.0 (see http://hc.apache.org/httpcomponents-client-ga/index.html). I believe if a request has application/x-www-form-urlencoded params, HttpClient URL-encodes (i.e. space = +), and one can't percent-encode beforehand because the param will be double-encoded, e.g. foo%20bar = foo %2520bar instead of foo bar. One also can't avoid the HttpClient URL encoding by using a different type of param, because then the params are not labeled application/x-www-form-urlencoded. I wouldn't be surprised if twitter4j and tweepy were in a similar sort of bind, though I have not verified. Can you elaborate on why avoiding + is so important? I would hate to have to patch Apache's HttpClient. Also, do you know of any Java or Python library that gets this right?

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Twitter streaming API using oauth with tracks that have spaces?
The differences between + are %20 are subtle. When you are using + instead, it *should* still work as long as + is represented in your signature base string as: %2B Are you able to see what + yields in your signature base string? A little background on the difference between + and %20 in URLs... + only means space in a URL when in the context of a field name or field value -- otherwise, within a URL it's literally a plus.. for this reason, it's a best practice to always be clear with intent. Use + when you mean plus in a URL component that is not a key/value pair, use %2B when you literally mean + in a string, and always use %20 when you mean a space within a string. Ideally, a web server will consider %20 and + within the context of a URL value the same -- but this gets complicated by OAuth when calculating signature verification -- you don't want to be fuzzy on what you consider is valid or not.

[twitter-dev] Re: Error / lack of clarity in the OAuth documentation regarding the oauth_callback parameter
FYI I see the correct flow is documented here: http://groups.google.com/group/twitter-api-announce/browse_frm/thread/472500cfe9e7cdb9?hl=en It's just not in the actual formal doco. Cheers, Tim On Nov 13, 4:29 pm, Tim Bull tim.b...@binaryplex.com wrote: Hi, I'm building a site that integrates with a single Twitter application from a series of sub domains under the same main domain. In the past I've only ever used a single domain, so never bothered with oauth_callback, but I saw it mentioned when I registered the application and figured it was exactly what I need, however I struggled to implement it for a while. After much trial and error, I did further research and seems the oauth_callback parameter is to be sent with the REQUEST, not with AUTHORISATION. If you refer to this documentation on getting a Twitter request token, oauth_callback is NOT listed as an allowable parameter. http://dev.twitter.com/doc/post/oauth/request_token Confusingly oauth_callback IS mentioned here on the authorize step, despite it's seeming irrelevance here? http://dev.twitter.com/doc/get/oauth/authorize This was where I was misled, although it's not clear at all, I interpreted this as meaning the oauth_callback should be sent with the authorisation step. I've now successfully implemented what I want by passing the oauth_callback with the request step - seems like an easy fix to clarify this in the documentation, it appears to be supported and mentioned in several places, just not clearly documented.
