What will happen with the lost data period?
Can we have at least a part of that sent our way or are just left with
a blank period?

 Any ideas?

You can do 100 get requests per hour, currently.  Posts don't count.

looking for the Twitter users account for the updates. If this is the case,
i was wondering will it be a problem for the application performance.

Profile data for protected users

2008-11-12 Thread Niall Kennedy

  I would like to retrieve basic profile data on a protected user. The
best API method for such a request seems to be /users/show [1] for
extended information of a given user yet Twitter returns a 403 for
such a request.

  I would like to be able to display the same level of data present on
the user profile page on Twitter.com. I'm basically asking for the
same response as a public user without the status element.


Example:
http://twitter.com/users/show/jeremy.xml
vs.
http://twitter.com/jeremy


  Is it possible to provide a protected user profile view similar to a
non-authenticated view on Twitter.com?

Re: since_id in combination with page and count

2008-11-12 Thread Alex Payne

Right now those modifier parameters are a bit of a mess, and may or
may not work in tandem.  Pick one or the other in the meantime, or
request the whole thing and filter client-side.  Our caching is such
that getting the entire response shouldn't be that slow, although I'd
understand wanting to cut down the response size for low-bandwidth
connections.

 the page parameter does work with since_id, but pages appear to be
 restricted to 40 tweets per page and the count parameter doesn't seem
 to have any affect.  Is there any way to so something like
 since_id=12345 and count=20, where it would return just the latest
 20 that are after the given ID (and fewer if there aren't 20 after

Re: Favorites Appear Out of Date/Time Chronological Order

2008-11-12 Thread OK

Thanks, Alex. As long as you have the bug filed, I would like to see
favorites appear in chronological order in the time they were
tweeted.  If I star a hotdogsladies tweet from last July, and a bunch
of tweets from today, I'd prefer the the hotdogsladies tweet were
filed in chronological order under July, not mixed in with today's
tweets.

Likewise, if I've starred tweets from a one-week period, I'd like to
look in my favorites and see today's tweets at the top, followed by
yesterday's, then the tweets from two days ago, then the tweets from
three days ago, etc.

At the moment, as you can see, there is no rhyme or reason to how
Twitter orders my tweets.

Suspended Accounts still being returned in follower data

2008-11-12 Thread Jesse Stay


I'm still noticing suspended accounts showing up in follower data.  Of  
course, you can detect them by checking the error message returned,  
but this is wasting near at least 5 minutes for each user in the  
script I'm running.  Is there a way you can exclude those from the  
list of followers?  Is there any reason to keep them in the list of  
followers?  I'd rather not have to keep trying to follow people you  
guys know are suspended when you know they're suspended.  I could put  
them on my own list, but how do I know their account has stopped being  
suspended?  That would be a huge help if you could remove them from  
the followers list.

Re: Suspended Accounts still being returned in follower data

Yeah, I've wanted this just with my regular Twitter account.  They
don't automatically remove suspended accounts from follower lists, but
I too wish they would.

 I'm still noticing suspended accounts showing up in follower data.  Of
 course, you can detect them by checking the error message returned, but this
 is wasting near at least 5 minutes for each user in the script I'm running.
  Is there a way you can exclude those from the list of followers?  Is there
 any reason to keep them in the list of followers?  I'd rather not have to
 keep trying to follow people you guys know are suspended when you know
 they're suspended.  I could put them on my own list, but how do I know their
 account has stopped being suspended?  That would be a huge help if you could

I just noticed something shouldn't the
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded

This could be the problem.

HTTP 500 Error usually means its a server error and its not your
fault, however it may have something to do with your status post data.
If you could, post the return headers and/or body. Also, it may have
just been a simple problem with Twitter at the time.
I just tested the API and it works fine for me:

Maybe Alex or other devs can shed some light on something wrong with
the Headers you sent.

Instead of removing them, you should just add a field like 'status'
or something similar.

You cannot, sorry. However, you can keep track of Twitter's progress
on OAuth. This method would not require any passwords.

A query parameter enabling me to not return the suspendeds would be  
ideal if you do that.  The problem with just a 'status' for each  
follower is I still get all the suspended accounts returned in the  
follower data, taking longer to query all their friends.  This can be  
anywhere near 50 and several hundred per individual.

 You can try GNIP, however I haven't used them before.

 Yes you should probably loop every 3-5 (maybe more, depending on how
 accurate you want to be) minutes or so depending on the user. This
 shouldn't have too much of an impact on overall performance, however
 as you get more and more users, you will want to find an alternative
 system.

 If you want, down the road (month?), I can offer something more
 efficient and better if you would like?
