Can you tell from the API how many people block a twitter account?
(how about how many people block your own accounts?)
If twitter don't provide tools to help combat spam soon they are going
to fall into a chasm of uselessness.

Ashley,
While waiting for native support from Twitter, have you checked out
the embed.ly Parrotfish plugin ( http://labs.embed.ly/ ) ?
Grooveshark is one of 160-plus OEmbed-compliant media partners
supported by the plugin. Tweets bearing supported URLs are marked in
the timeline and yes, you'll
Some Twitter applications (including my own) use embed.ly to display
content.

I just re-enabled the Parrotfish plugin and it's pretty amazing. It's
pulling content from my own website and from just about any URL
mentioned in a Tweet. Goes way beyond the advertised performance.

The direction you'll want to be heading is letting the users allow
your app access once. You can then store the user's oAuth token and
oAuth token secret with their account. (instead of their username and
password) These won't change unless the user revokes your website's
access.

Leon,
A script that unfollow people who do not follow back is very much against
the terms of use of the twitter API. You cannot automate follow - unfolow.
Great idea but it won't work with twitter. :-((

Hi ,
I'm having a problem setting a custom callback URL from my end. My URL

I can hardly believe it's true but I discovered a rather strange

Once you've added a twitter account to Tweetdeck, you're allowed to
tweet from that account via Tweetdeck. No surprises so far
But when you change your password in Twitter, there's no account/
password check again
Hello,
Tweetdeck uses the OAuth/Streaming API which is independent of your password.
Are you suggesting that when you change your password it should invalidate your
OAuth connections?
If so, then no, it does not do that.

Hi,
I am using Twitter Search API.
When I use http://widgets.twimg.com/j/2/widget.js, everything works
fine.
But when I try to make local copy of this JS(to avoid calling an
external resource),
all the links under any tweet appear as html code instead of links.
Any Suggestions how to use
There is no direct way to get this information from the API. The API will
contextually indicate the accounts the current user blocks but it does not
go the other way.
GET http://api.twitter.com/1/blocks/blocking.json and GET
http://api.twitter.com/1/blocks/blocking/ids.json are the relevant
Thanks for the reply Taylor. Maybe what I was trying to explain was

Don't need to know who blocked them, just need to know this is probably

Hi Giovani,
We're working on making this UI and configuration quirk more navigable.
You should set your application to a browser/web app, and use a placeholder
URL (perhaps to your company's website) for your Callback URL.
Then, when performing the oauth/request_token step, provide the custom
Yes, this will be good. Are the user's oAuth token and oAuth token secret
retrieved from these lines in index.php?:
/* Get user access tokens out of the session. */
$access_token = $_SESSION['access_token'];
$access_token['oauth_token'];
$access_token['oauth_token_secret'];
Thanks for your
You are correct of course. I set it up that way because the only functioning
library I found for updating a user's Twitter status required them. The
other libraries seem to be using basic authentication which caused them to
fail. I'm finding oAuth challenging to use as well.
Thanks

Unfortunately not.
Our Trust Safety team is working on problems with spam; I trust they will
continue improving this landscape. It's a multi-pronged problem of

spam, better filter for relevance, better empowering users

Not that I am advocating any change because I prefer the way it works now.
But this has been a point of confusion for some of our users as well.
The issue stems from when a user uses xAuth to authenticate, they understand it

I'd say: get rid of xAuth, get rid of this problem (and probably a lot
of other problems as well).

You can do the following which will us JSON and automatically parse it into
an object.
$content = $connection-get(users/show, array('screen_name' = $NAME);
If you really want to handle the XML parsing yourself you can do the

callback.php provides a good spot for saving access_tokens to a persistant

I will just revoke access until authorization happens again. You don't have
to revoke access though. You can just clear the sessions and go through the
flow. It will be the same you just won't have to click allow each time.

I'm collecting all the tweets for potential 2012 presidential

this API call is limited to 3,200 tweets, but this is happening with
accounts that have fewer
Hey Adam,
Do you include the parameter include_rts=1 ? Be default
statuses/user_timeline doesn't include retweets so you have to add this
parameter to retrieve a full timeline.

2. Collect the value of retweet_count for all tweets for each

3. Sum these values to get
Hi Goyal,
You can achieve this by storing the users access token and load it when needed
to post something to Twitter like I used in the TNO Web app on NewYear's eve.
