[twitter-dev] Re: Twitter Psychological Personality Profiling

2010-11-26 Thread L. Mohan Arun
Basically, I want to look at the personality profile of Twitter users.

Definitely this: (twitter psychological profiling, sentiment analysis,
tweetpsych etc.)
http://mashable.com/2009/08/30/analyze-twitter-content/

I want an app which will, with the user's permission, produce their overall 
statistics:-
Probably this: (readymade statistics)

I am also emailing you a custom quote

[twitter-dev] Trying to get rid of twitter spammers

2010-11-26 Thread Furkan Kuru
Hello,

I think there is a spamming action that uses too many twitter accounts and
tweet by mentioning usernames and send as a reply.

We receive thousands of similar spam tweets that are written as a reply to
our followed users through streaming api.
It spoils our data.

The tweets seem to be sent from web not via a twitter app.

Here are a few examples.

[twitter-dev] Re: Tweet button showing 0 count

2010-11-26 Thread kovshenin
Is this related to my website responding 405 to HTTP HEAD requests?

 Cheers all. I wrote a Twitter app back in 2009 called Foller.me
 (http://www.foller.me) which has now moved to Google App Engine. The
 latest changes to the app included aTweetbuttonwith the count for

 it doesn't seem to work, tweeting goes alright, but the count is
 always 0.

 I went forward by clicking the count to see that it's performing a
 Twitter search using the current URL that was tweeted, and yeah, there
 were no results. The tweeted link automatically gets shortened using
 Twitter's shortening service t.co, and the tweets do not show up.

 Could anybody help me investigate this? You can try it with any
 Twitter name or use mine:http://www.foller.me/kovshenin

why are people doing this? Are enough clicks converting into some kind

I keep expecting SPAM to take some kind of evolutionary leap (customized

Word lol is the most common in these spam tweets. We receive 400 spam
tweets per hour now tracking 100K people.

We plan to delete all of the tweets containing lol word. It is also used
by our users (Turkish people) writing in English though.

Any better suggestions?

Re: [twitter-dev] Trying to get rid of twitter spammers

2010-11-26 Thread Adam Green
As long as you aren't trying to capture and deliver *all* tweets,
there are a couple of good ways to cut out spammers. One thing I do is
save all mentions for all users in a database of tweets. When a tweet
comes in from the streaming API, I collect @mentions, and store them
with the screen name of the tweet's author and the screen name
mentioned. Then I can rank users based on the number of different
accounts that mention them. If you only use the tweets from the top N%
of users, the quality improves a lot. I find that the top 80% is
usually enough of a screen to get good quality.

Another trick is blocking duplicates from each user. The API only
blocks duplicates that repeat immediately, but if a spammer has a list
of tweets, and cycles through them, all the tweets get through. I
compare all new tweets with the other tweets from that user. This is
very expensive if you have a big database. This can be made less
intensive by limiting the comparison to just the tweets from that user
in the last few days. You can also run this with a separate process
that doesn't slow down you main tweet parsing loop. Most spammers are
so simplistic that they just repeat the same tweet over and over. In a
real spammy set of keywords, if I find more than a few duplicates from
a user, I just stop saving their tweets.

Re: [twitter-dev] Trying to get rid of twitter spammers

2010-11-26 Thread M. Edward (Ed) Borasky
Hmmm ... Twitter has a user quality filter that's supposed to weed  
out spammers from Search and Streaming. At about 450,000 new user IDs  
created every day, it might take a while for Twitter's spambot  
detectors to flag them all, but I'd think between algorithms and  
crowdsourced block / report, eventually they'd get taken out.

A mathematician is a device for turning coffee into theorems. - Paul Erdos


Quoting Adam Green 140...@gmail.com:


As long as you aren't trying to capture and deliver *all* tweets,
there are a couple of good ways to cut out spammers. One thing I do is
save all mentions for all users in a database of tweets. When a tweet
comes in from the streaming API, I collect @mentions, and store them
with the screen name of the tweet's author and the screen name
mentioned. Then I can rank users based on the number of different
accounts that mention them. If you only use the tweets from the top N%
of users, the quality improves a lot. I find that the top 80% is
usually enough of a screen to get good quality.

Another trick is blocking duplicates from each user. The API only
blocks duplicates that repeat immediately, but if a spammer has a list
of tweets, and cycles through them, all the tweets get through. I
compare all new tweets with the other tweets from that user. This is
very expensive if you have a big database. This can be made less
intensive by limiting the comparison to just the tweets from that user
in the last few days. You can also run this with a separate process
that doesn't slow down you main tweet parsing loop. Most spammers are
so simplistic that they just repeat the same tweet over and over. In a
real spammy set of keywords, if I find more than a few duplicates from
a user, I just stop saving their tweets.

[twitter-dev] Geocoded searches broken

2010-11-26 Thread Mack D. Male
Since yesterday, geocoded searches have been broken intermittently.
Sometimes results are returned normally, then for stretches of time
(30 minutes or more) no results are returned. During that time,
there's a warning like the following:

adjusted since_id to 8230615843933184 due to temporary error

Here's a query that at this very moment (~11:55 AM) returns zero
results:
http://search.twitter.com/search?q=near:%22Edmonton,Alberta%22

It stopped working about an hour ago (~10:55 AM MST).

Any information on this?

[twitter-dev] collecting tweet message ids

2010-11-26 Thread Rajinder Yadav
Hi I would like to know how I can go about retrieving all the tweet 
message ids from a user's timeline?


I am using the user_timeline to get the message ids, is there a better 
faster way?


The following page seems to indicate I can obtain up to 3200 statuses.

http://dev.twitter.com/doc/get/statuses/user_timeline

However I am not able to fetch 3200 statuses. Also if I pass in a count 
of 200, I something only get 20 in my result other times 4, this occurs 
in the cases where there are say 4 statuses by the user.


If I have to make multiple calls, how can I go about fetching a list of 
all the user_timeline message ids?


Also can someone from please explain to me how the page parameter works, 
specially in the case of varying result sizes?


Finally how is the message ordered in the user_timeline, can I make an 
assumption that the last status at the bottom on the page will always be 
older than the top?


Thanks,

[twitter-dev] Where can I find the updated rate limit after OAuth?

2010-11-26 Thread m36tb6ll

Hi! I am a newbie in the field and am working on my first twitter web
app. I have created a variable loop timer using rate_limit_status
which works well in maximizing the usage of the twitter API without
going over the hourly limits.

Now that I have incorporated OAuth, I was expecting to see the limit
increase from 150 (unauthenticated requests) to 350 (authenticated
requests). But, I am still seeing the 150 limit both in the response
headers and Firebug when calling rate_limit_status API after OAuth.

Is there something I'm missing here?

Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance...

Re: [twitter-dev] Not able to get request token

2010-11-26 Thread Igor Kharin
Well, I see. First of all oauth_signature is HMAC hash of your
properly encoded query parameters, not oauth_token_secret. The idea is
that only your app and Twitter may know it. Don't ever send it!

Request token is like an authorization session ID, which you would
exchange for an access token (You may not know access token before
that, actually.) So, doublecheck
http://dev.twitter.com/doc/post/oauth/request_token, it requires no
authentication. All you need is to fetch oauth_request_token and
oauth_request_secret. If you already have an access token, like in
your example, you can work with all API's methods right away, but
don't forget provide valid oauth_signature.

Here's easily explained routine: http://dev.twitter.com/pages/auth
And more in-depth OAuth 1.0 info: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5849

[twitter-dev] Twitter API

2010-11-26 Thread Tom Callahan
Hi All,

I am trying to develop a platform where I can allow people to login 
add multiple twitter accounts. They will be able to post tweets, view
posted tweets, view tweet replies etc.

I came to know that Basic Authentication has been stopped for Twitter
API  so I am using oAuth to connect to Twitter.

I have registered my application in http://dev.twitter.com/apps  have
got the access token and access token secret. However, the way I see
it now, for every Twitter account that gets added to my application,
the user will have to generate the access token. This process is very
complicated  is not user-friendly.

I am requesting you to please let me know how can I find a solution
for the same where I can automatically get the access token for all
the twitter accounts that gets added to my application. I have seen a
similar process in use here - http://mediafunnel.com/

Please help me with this. Your support  cooperation will be highly
appreciated.

Thanks in advance!!

[twitter-dev] Twitter library for Lua

2010-11-26 Thread Linus Sjögren
Just thought I'd tell you guys about by Twitter library for Lua.

https://github.com/TheLinx/ltwitter

It's pretty easy to use. You create a client instance, and start
calling the API functions.
Here's an example using the login methods:

require(twitter)
myclient = twitter.client(consumer key, consumer secret)
authurl = myclient:startLogin()
-- get the user to open authurl, confirm access, and input the pin
into your application
-- we assume the pin variable is called pin
assert(myclient:confirmLogin(), login failed)
myclient:updateStatus{ status = Hello World! - From Lua! }

As you can see, the API function methods use the actual Twitter API
variable names.
To check out what API functions correspond to the client methods, you
can use the following snippet:

require(twitter)
for method,api in pairs(twitter.resources) do
  print(client:..method, api)
end

That'll print all methods and what API functions they use.
Now, what if you need to store your user's authorization key? This is
also easy.

tokenkey = cl.oauthclient.m_oauth_token
tokensecret = cl.oauthclient.m_oauth_token_secret
-- store these variables somewhere
-- now, next time you start:
require(twitter)
myclient = twitter.client(consumer key, consumer secret, tokenkey,
tokensecret)
-- you're good to go!

I hope this library can be included in the official library list, and
I wish any Lua devs out there the best of luck.

 API  so I am using oAuth to connect to Twitter.
 
 I have registered my application in http://dev.twitter.com/apps  have
 got the access token and access token secret. However, the way I see
 it now, for every Twitter account that gets added to my application,
 the user will have to generate the access token. This process is very
 complicated  is not user-friendly.
 
 I am requesting you to please let me know how can I find a solution
 for the same where I can automatically get the access token for all
 the twitter accounts that gets added to my application. I have seen a
 similar process in use here - http://mediafunnel.com/
 
 Please help me with this. Your support  cooperation will be highly

 Thanks in advance!!

you can use command line oauth with access tokens on a per user basis.

 I can get basic OAuth to work on-line (on a real domain) but I can
 only debug PHP on my local Windows computer using Wampserver.
 
 At the moment, I can't see how to Register an Application, because the
 domain name only exists on my local computer, I get Not a valid URL

 However I am not able to fetch 3200 statuses. Also if I pass in a count of

 cases where there are say 4 statuses by the user.
 
 If I have to make multiple calls, how can I go about fetching a list of all 
 the user_timeline message ids?
 
 Also can someone from please explain to me how the page parameter works, 
 specially in the case of varying result sizes?
 
 Finally how is the message ordered in the user_timeline, can I make an 
 assumption that the last status at the bottom on the page will always be 
 older than the top?

[twitter-dev] lang=en queries to search API not working

2010-11-26 Thread steve
This reproduces even on http://search.twitter.com.  If you try to
filter to en only results you get back 0 items for most queries.
Select try all languages from the search portal or remove lang=en
from your API query and you get results for your queries (most of
which are in english.)

What's weird is this seemed to be working fine until about 2 days
ago.  And its been very intermittent since.  Yesterday queries would
work for a while then they would stop working (same query to the
API.)  But today they seem to be broken for me all day.  Other members
of my team reported the same issue yesterday so it defenitly seems to
be something on your end.

BTW... When calling the API and this happens we're getting back an
error similar to this:

jsonp1290717568994({results:[],max_id:7896158276488192,since_id:
7896158276488192,refresh_url:?
since_id=7896158276488192q=Thanksgiving,results_per_page:50,page:
1,completed_in:0.019352,warning:adjusted since_id to
7896158276488192 due to temporary
error,since_id_str:7896158276488192,max_id_str:7896158276488192,query:Thanksgiving});

I did a search and this error was reported back in June but nobody
ever responded... Crossing my fingers that this message doesn't go
into the void as well...

 there's a warning like the following:

 Here's a query that at this very moment (~11:55 AM) returns zero

 http://search.twitter.com/search?q=near:%22Edmonton,Alberta%22

 It stopped working about an hour ago (~10:55 AM MST).
