[twitter-dev] Multiple streams with the same IP
Hi, Anyone here has any experience with multiple streams (each stream with a pair of dedicated oauth token/secret) with twitter's streaming API? As it is specified in docs that Each account may create only one standing connection to the Streaming API, I assume we could have a few connections if there are the same number of accounts. Correct me if above it wrong. Any experience sharing is fairly appreciated!

[twitter-dev] Users search
How do I search for a user via its location and biography? Should i just get random users and than search in their information or is there a way in Twitter API to do it more directly? Look, i don't wanna search via users tweets. I wanna do searches like: - Find all users that are 18 years old and live in Brazil. - Find all users that are female, 18 years old and live in Brazil.

[twitter-dev] Streams question
We coded our enterprise application anticipating getting whitelisted, but alas that seems to not be in the cards. So we have started to code against the Streams API, but I have a few questions, I hope this is the right place: a. I applied for Site Streams Beta Whitelisting more than a week ago, the application said it is looked at more or less once a week. Is this accurate? When might I hear? (Company is MediaRoost) b. We are using code to test in the meantime with User Streams, just to get an idea of what to do. I can see how after initial REST calls to prime the pump that Messages, Mentions, Timeline additions, Follows, Favorites, User Profile changes, etc will be streamed, and I can see how to deal with this. It is doable. However I do not understand how to keep track of some info in the Streams API, and wonder if these just will require the REST API 'forever': a:Consider a User who is not me (the authenticated user). I want to see their profile info. I do not see how the Site/User Stream will send that to me. b: Consider a User who is not being followed. I want to get their tweets (etc) via the streaming API. (I know how to get the tweets they sent via the REST api.) BUT: Since they are not being followed I will not have seen their tweets on the streaming API. Do I have to always use the REST API for this? If this is not the right place to ask these questions, please point me where to ask. thanks, Mark -- 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
Re: [twitter-dev] convert large number of usernames to userids

[twitter-dev] getting historical data for more than 150 / 300 users
How can an app get the historical twitter stream for more than 150 / 300 users in an hour? Those users are all signing up to our service and giving us their Oauth tokens. If more than 150 / 300 sign up in an hour, we can't get their historical data using the REST API because of Twitter's limits. Twitter's streaming API will let us get tweets for that user going forward in time, but won't allow us to see the tweets that are already in their stream. Is there any solution for this use case? We want to offer a service that parses user's twitter streams for statistical data, but if we can't go back and get their historical record, they'll have nothing when they first log in to the site. -- 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

RE: [twitter-dev] getting historical data for more than 150 / 300 users
If you use their OAuth token for each request, then aren't you counting against their usage limit? You could have 5000 users sign up in an hour. You perform 5000 API calls using 5000 different OAuth tokens. Each API call is one count against each token. Each user now has one less API call left that hour.

Re: [twitter-dev] getting historical data for more than 150 / 300 users
As Tatham said, each access token gives you up to 350 GET Request per hours. Make some requests (signing them with different access tokens) and look at the X-RateLimit-Remaining header.

You could have 5000 users sign up in an hour. You perform 5000 API calls using 5000 different OAuth tokens. Each API call is one count against each token. Each user now has one less API call left that hour. That's how I understand it ... -- Tatham Oddie If you're printing this email, you're doing it wrong.

Those users are all signing up to our service and giving us their Oauth tokens. If more than 150 / 300 sign up in an hour, we can't get their historical data using the REST API because of Twitter's limits. Twitter's streaming API will let us get tweets for that user going forward in time, but won't allow us to see the tweets that are already in their stream. Is there any solution for this use case? We want to offer a service that parses user's twitter streams for statistical data, but if we can't go back and get their historical record, they'll have nothing when they first log in to the site. -- Twitter developer documentation and resources: http://dev.twitter.com/docAPI 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 -- 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 -- 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
Re: [twitter-dev] convert large number of usernames to userids
Hey Riley, You should use users/lookup, with the screen_name parameter (up to 100 are allowed in a single request). Not sure to get what you mean by the OAuth of the users I am looking up? The only thing you need is to sign your request.

My plan is to use user/follow, which uses userids. I have tried using users/lookup (http://dev.twitter.com/doc/get/users/ lookup), but I need the OAuth of the users I am looking up, which I don't have. I could use user/show but that would take a long time, I am hoping to find something more efficient.
