oauth_body_hash isn't official OAuth 1.0a and you should not be including it in your signature base string, POST parameters, authorization header, or otherwise. While it may not be causing your problem, it also might not be helping. It's best for you to use authorization headers instead of using

Also, if you're looking for tweets by a specific user, it's much better to browse their user timeline directly rather than using the Search API (which only goes back a few days): http://dev.twitter.com/doc/get/statuses/user_timeline Example invocation: GET

Hi Gonzalo, There's no way to toggle between protected and unprotected account states via the API -- the only valid way to change the setting is for the user to do it of their own volition using a web browser while logged in to Twitter -- any automation of the submission of that toggle state by

Hi Taylor, Thanks for you fast and complete answer. There is no way to set the protected state of a single tweet. Toggling between the two account-level states effects all tweets issued by that author and changing it for the purposes of a single tweet is inadvisable. I would recommend that
