Status does update but a bad (or empty) response comes back

2008-10-23 Thread Damon Clinkscales
Hey Alex, This tweet: http://twitter.com/damon/status/972471865 was posted by SnapTweet and the response I got was: end of file reached. That could be a client-side error, which presumably means that it was a completely empty response? using ruby http. The tweet was posted successfully,

Re: statuses/followers - inconsistent follower generation?

I'll check for that specifically, but I have seen inconsistent follower_count to actual count numbers returned. Jesse On Oct 23, 2008, at 2:11 PM, GuyHagen wrote: Does anybody else get this? I presume it's because some followers have their statuses protected, but I'd like a

Thanks. We've got someone looking into it but we've had a hard time replicating. Hopefully this'll help. On Thu, Oct 23, 2008 at 2:24 PM, Jonathan Eunice [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Most of the tweets previously reported as un-favoriteable by me, via either API or web interface, are now

We found the bug. You were hitting the limit of the number of favorites a user can create per day. We simply weren't exposing the error message. We'll start doing so, and perhaps we need to up the favorites per day limit as well. On Thu, Oct 23, 2008 at 3:23 PM, Jonathan Eunice [EMAIL

It's currently 250 favorites per day. That seemed like a healthy number to us... On Thu, Oct 23, 2008 at 3:37 PM, Geoff Barnes [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Yes, if favorites are to be worth any more to twitter users than bookmarks, we can't be hitting that limit so easily. Alex, what is the

...and then there was favrd. :) 250 might have been a very reasonable limit given contemporaneous projections regarding likely use of the method. But every feature exposed by the API will end up being used in unpredictable ways. 6 months ago, I used favorites like bookmarks. Now I use them as

That makes some sense. I use the favorites for both bookmarks (for the majority of users who aren't on Favrd), and as votes for Favrd (for the few that are). I could easily be cresting 250/day. Btw, I assure you I am not mechanically issuing favorites; every one of them is lovingly applied by my

Dealing with users with e-mail addresses as usernames

2008-10-23 Thread Jesse Stay
I have a few users with an e-mail address for their Twitter username. When I run the show method on those users, I get a not found page - you can try by loading this in your browser: http://twitter.com/users/show/[EMAIL PROTECTED] Is this a known bug? What's the best way around this?

URL-encoding it doesn't fix it (you can try it yourself). Calling following and friends with the username also gives a not found. Jesse On Oct 23, 2008, at 10:09 PM, Julio Biason wrote: Have you tried to URL-encode the URL properly? Like
