Re: [twitter-dev] Failed to validate oauth signature and token

[twitter-dev] IP's rate limit using Twitter API?
Hello, I am having one application which is calling statuses/user_timeline method using XML without authentication so I am getting 150 requests per hour for my IP. Is there any way so that I can get how many requests are remaining for my IP for that particular hour? Also is there any way to overcome this limitation of 150 requests per hour apart from whitelisting?

[twitter-dev] count parameter - documentation says 200 limit, correct?
Hi, I'm trying to figure out how to fetch the maximum number of tweets. From http://dev.twitter.com/doc/get/statuses/user_timeline: This method is can only return up to 3200 statuses. If include_rts is set only 3200 statuses, including retweets if they exist, can be returned. It seems logical that the 'count' parameter allows you to specify a number of tweets to fetch, up to the maximum states (3200). Except, the docs read: Specifies the number of records to retrieve. Must be less than or equal to 200. http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.json?count=5; I'm wondering if that's a type and that the value must infact be less than or equal to 3200 ? Maybe I'm reading this wrong, but I can't see a simple way to do a first-time request, number of tweets available being unknown, and to specify that you'd like to simply fetch as many as the API will allow.

You need to use the next_cursor_str and page through the results. They don't want to slam out the data for 3200 tweets all at once. -edward.

[twitter-dev] Twitter geocoords + gmap is erratic, why?
Hi, sorry if this has been posted before in here, I can't seem to find
anyone posting about this particular setup:
I have a website with a google map which is retrieving the coords from
a twitter's latest status, however the location of the google map
rarely matches the location of where the user tweeted from, sometimes
being half a mile off in a random direction.
What is this due by?
Here is the code I'm using:
$twfeed = @file_get_contents('http://api.twitter.com/1/users/show/
taimmobile.json');
if($json){
$data = json_decode($twfeed, false);
$lat = $data-status-geo-coordinates[0];
$lon = $data-status-geo-coordinates[1];
echo div id='map'h3Where are we?/h3BR.SGMprintmap($lat,
$lon,18,TERRAIN,null,null)./div;

[twitter-dev] Re: @Mentions URL in PHP
Hey Leon - There's code at the link below that has worked for me in the past. I have since re-written it in JavaScript (using the same regular expressions) as I'm now 'building' tweets for display on the client side - but the expressions still work even in JS http://davidwalsh.name/linkify-twitter-feed That code will show you how to create links from 1) Links, 2) Screen Names and 3) Hashtags I, personally, removed the following from the screen name and hashtag expressions: (^|\s) ...which means match the beginning of the line or a space - however, I once saw a tweet that had this: .@screenname ...notice the period before the @? That's neither the beginning of the line nor a space, and the code as-is didn't linkify it, even though viewing the same tweet on twitter.com showed it as a link. Removing the (^|\s) allowed it to be linkified, and you're not often going to see an @ or an # in a tweet that isn't a screen name or a hashtag, so I think it's a fairly safe bet to take. Though, if anyone ever puts, say, an email address in a tweet, it'll treat it as a screen name if you don't have the (^|\s) in there... Hope that helps!

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Twitter geocoords + gmap is erratic, why?
Hi David,
We use the lat/lon sent to us when the Tweet is created. How that lat/lon is
retrieved depends on the device being used to send the Tweet. The content of
the Tweet is not used to populate the lat/lon coordinates.
A couple of reasons for why it could be reported like this:
* The user is travelling to the location they Tweeted about
* The device being used has the wrong GPS co-ordinates. (When I visited New
York my iPhone struggled to get an accurate location)
* They were on Wifi and the device looked up the IP and found those
co-ordinates
Hope that answers your question,

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Twitter geocoords + gmap is erratic, why?
Thanks for the tips Matt.
The people using this system definitely send the tweet when they reach their
final destination (they're run a food truck), and don't use wifi. They are
using both iPhone and Android phones to send these tweets, so the only answer
is that their devices must be sending incorrect GPS data.
However... why should this happen when the iPhone Map application is tracking
accurately, at the same time when sending a status message to Twitter? This is
why I'm confused and wondering if actually there's a process in between the
device and Twitter that gets things muddled?
Especially as I get a completely different result when using Google Latitude,
also erratic (mostly incorrect) but in a completely different way to Twitter's
result.
Thanks again,
David

Hi David,
We use the lat/lon sent to us when the Tweet is created. How that lat/lon is
retrieved depends on the device being used to send the Tweet. The content of
the Tweet is not used to populate the lat/lon coordinates.
A couple of reasons for why it could be reported like this:
* The user is travelling to the location they Tweeted about
* The device being used has the wrong GPS co-ordinates. (When I visited New
York my iPhone struggled to get an accurate location)
* They were on Wifi and the device looked up the IP and found those
co-ordinates

Hi Miles, While this public forum is great if you want to discuss the terms themselves with others, if you want to privately discuss API terms with Twitter, it's best to send a message to a...@twitter.com -- it might take a bit for you to get a response but the policy team will get your inquiry.

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Twitter geocoords + gmap is erratic, why?
OK, thanks for the confirmation about how the data is being retrieved. From
an API perspective we receive two parameters, lat and lon. Whatever the
client sets those to is what the Tweet gets attributed to.
Looking at that Tweet I see the Geo Point of reference for the Tweet you
mentioned is:
40.7502328,-73.98779046 -
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=qsource=s_qhl=engeocode=q=40.7502328,-73.98779046aq=sll=40.761593,-73.981311sspn=0.004709,0.004785ie=UTF8z=17
I then see another Tweet 4 hours later with the Geo Point of:
40.761411,-73.980603 -
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=qsource=s_qhl=engeocode=q=40.761411,-73.980603aq=sll=56.752723,-109.335937sspn=28.256305,39.199219ie=UTF8z=17
The second location is in the 51st/52nd and 6th/7th block so it looks like
they are in the right location the second time they Tweeted. This makes me
think they were Tweeting on their way to the destination, or their device
was stuck with a Geo point when the Tweet was created and then updated. The
applications use whatever lat/lon is reported to them by the device. No
manipulation takes place with the original Geo. The only inference we make
is for the additional place information if it wasn't already supplied - the
geo attribute is lot touched.

[twitter-dev] Search API intermittently returning invalid results
I've been using curl to access search.twitter.com and recently I've noticed that occasionally it is returning invalid tweets. I'm searching for a query-term that shows up very infrequently in the tweet stream, and am using the curl command: curl http://search.twitter.com/search.atom?q=query- termrpp=99result_type=recentsince_id=35409539146719234 What I've found is that about 99% of the time I get back an empty response, just the feed tag wrapped around the meta data for the query but no results. But if I just run the exact same curl command over and over again, occasionally I'll get a response with a full payload of 99 tweets, none of which have anything to do with my search terms. Subsequent executions of the same curl command return the response w/o any tweets in it. Its a little hard to explain, but I have a log file that shows: curl - no tweets curl - no tweets curl - no tweets curl - 99 unrelated tweets curl - no tweets All running the same command via cut-and-paste and all within the space of a few seconds. More often than not, it seems like the invalid tweets are all somehow related, as if I had gotten the response for some other active query. Anyone else seeing anything this problem? The log file is 16K compressed, let me know if you'd like me to send it in.

Thanks again, David I can't help you with iPhone - don't have one - but I can tell you that as of a few weeks ago, Twitter's native Android client was *not* correctly sensing location in real time, even though all three (WiFi, GPS and Verizon 3G) on my Verizon Droid Incredible were correctly configured and functioning, and the native Google tools like Maps function correctly. This is in the Portland, Oregon metro area. I didn't try mobile.twitter.com or any of the third-party Twitter clients. I've had spotty results with location on all Twitter clients on my Droid and have essentially given up. If I want to tweet with a correct location, I have to use my ChromeOS Cr-48 Notebook or my laptop running Linux via WiFi and often need to enter location manually. I have neither the patience nor the tools to diagnose location issues with three vendors - Twitter, Verizon and Google! My belief is that both business and engineering partnerships between the three vendors will be required for correct functioning of Twitter location on my device. I suspect similar is required for iPhone - Apple, Twitter and ATT must have a *formal* partnership arrangement for stuff to work. Meanwhile, I'd suggest that if you have the time, diagnose this as far as possible and file a bug on Twitter's site. *Maybe* it's simply a Twitter issue, but I rather doubt it, given the number of things I tried on my Droid before giving up. -- http://twitter.com/znmeb http://borasky-research.net A mathematician is a device for turning coffee into theorems. -- Paul Erdős -- 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

I checked the bug ticket list, several pages back on this discussion list and the FAQ - I don't see this particular issue anywhere, but please forgive me if it has been discussed before (and please point me towards the solution!)... Facts: * I am using the TwitterOAuth PHP class fromhttp://abrah.am * I am creating a full Twitter client, not just a widget with my latest tweets * I am getting the home timeline from my app's Twitter account. So far I have 1 tweet and am following only my personal account which has 66 tweets * The page I'm testing with is a PHP page that only has a call to home_timeline that then var_dump's the result - that's all it's doing, nothing else * I have tried this call with various parameters (as follows, where $con is the TwitterOAuth object): $con-get(statuses/home_timeline); $con-get(statuses/home_timeline, array(include_rts = true)); $con-get(statuses/home_timeline, array(include_rts = true, count = 20)); Issue: When I refresh the page, about 80% of the time I get 3 tweets: my app account's 1 sent tweet and 2 from my personal account that are more recent than that one. The other 20% of the time I get 19 tweets: those 3 plus 16 from my personal account from before my app account's one sent tweet. These results remain consistent no matter what I try: it's either 3 or 19, never 20. My app account's home timeline on Twitter.com shows me 3, and has never shown me more, no matter how often I refresh. Is it my choice of PHP class? If so, is there a better option? And if not, then what gives?! Also, how many tweets *should* be returned? Twitter's website only shows me 3, but what if I want to see tweets in my home timeline from before I was Twitter born?

[twitter-dev] Who retweeted me?
If, through a web browesr, I click on Retweets - Your Tweets retweeted, a particular tweet of mine shows up. Normally, when you then click on that Tweet, it shows the person/people who have retweeted in. In this case, though, it is not showing anyone as having retweeted me. Does this mean, perhaps, that whoever retweeted me then undid the retweet? Has anyone else seen this? Many thanks!

[twitter-dev] Data-expanded-url attribute
Hello, I have a bunch of shortened urls which are resolved/redirected to full urls by my webapp. e.g. http://dealush.com/sale/2wml resolves to http://dealush.com/shopping-sales/2wml/sydney-sale-8-off-at-catwalk-westfield-shopping-town-159-175-church-parramatta-sydney-nsw-2150 When I tweet the short URL, sometimes the data-expanded-url attribute is populated for the url and when I mouseover it I can see the full url. However sometimes it is not populated, and there is no data- expanded-url attribute at all! I am wondering if anyone can shed some light onto why it would be so. I am also thinking that this is affecting the counters on my tweet buttons, as tweets that do have an URL with the data-expanded-url attribute give a +1 for the counter, and those that do not have a data- expanded-url don't. Does something need to happen for the data-expanded-url value to populate? Or perhaps there something wrong with some of my URLS? Note: THe example URL above does have a data-expanded-url value.

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Is includes_rts=true for statuses/mentions broken?
I think you have the wrong idea of what include_rts does. Include_rts is designed to include native retweets in timelines where default inclusion would break. For example /statuses/user_timeline expects all tweets to be from a user A. But if that user A has retweeted user B then user Bs tweets can be included user As user_timeline with include_rts. Include_rts has no effect on /statuses/mentions because the original tweet is already included due to the fact it is a mention.
