remaining_hits isn't updated
Hi, I realized the remaining_hits that the returned value of the rate_limit_status API was counted down when I tried the other APIs each time till reset_time. The design of my application uses this value to know how often I can use APIs. # The way to get it is the remain seconds (reset_time - current time) will be devided by it. But now, the remaining_hits is already returned 100. My application seems to get my friends' timeline in so high frequency. Did you change the rate_limit_status API and announce it anywere? Forgive my English. -- @nipotan

The fix was deployed yesterday, about 17 hours ago. Any incorrect responses are just cached data that will be evicted over time. Nothing should live in the cache longer than 24 hours, so all should be correct within the next 7 hours.

I am using the as3 twitter script and so can't get the response just the 400 bad request. I am thinking its most likely my code if no one else is getting this.

400 usually means that you've run into our rate limit. You can find out for sure by looking at the body of the response we've sent to you, which contains an informative error message.

Re: Follow / Unfollow Error?
thanks Alex, its not a rate limit issue as I am not hitting it that much (about 3 times max a minute). Unfortunately there is not way to get the body of the response in as3 when it throws an error. Error #2032: Stream Error. URL: https://twitter.com/friendships/create/shytalk.xml is an example of the error that as3 throws. As you can see its correct, the user is authenticated and the verb is POST. I have tried this with 2 users and get the same problem.

thanks Ed, spot on. I have it plainly being a POST in as3(well the twitter script does) but according to charles it was a GET which would explain the 400. right off to figure this out. thanks guys.

Incomplete list of friends being returned
I am currently developing an application to bridge Twitter and FriendFeed (http://twitter2ff.appspot.com) and I am having a problem retrieving a complete list of a user's friends. For example, using the command-line (curl), I retrieved all the friends for davewiner. His profile (http://twitter.com/davewiner) indicates he has 741 friends. When I count the number of screen_names returned (over 8 pages of results) I only see 733 friends. I've double-checked this with several other public accounts. Any ideas? Thanks, Carter Rabasa

direct_messages new NOT working
Hi guys, I just started kicking the tires on the API (thanks, btw!)
and am having a horrendous time posting to /direct_messages/new.xml.
The response that comes back is invalid request which doesn't give
me much to debug or go off of. I am able to post to the udpate/status
urls just fine so I dont think its my code. here is how I'm doing the
post in Ruby:
postTwitter(http://twitter.com/direct_messages/new.xml;, {text =
'this is a test', user = 'saumil})
postTwitter is my wrapper method to execute the http request and works
for other urls, just not this one.

Re: Change to Twitter API?
Alex, I think there might still be an issue with this fix. I've run through many test cases (including your profile) and all of them are still failing to return the full user object. It looks like this might be just an issue with the xml format of / users/show (the json output seems to contain all the data). Thanks for all the hard work.

Re: Followings Updates not coming from AP
I have had the same issue since some time last night. Basically, the following and update elements of the output just don't come through I believe this was resolved last night, but most of my users are still having the problem (and I'm getting increasingly worried that it's not just an issue with waiting the cache to refresh). Example: http://twitter.com/users/show/hubspot.xml (in fact, I can't find a single user account now that will return following count and update count when retrieved via the API) All help is appreciated. -Dharmesh On Dec 10, 2:50 pm, jje [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Followers are coming through on our call but the Followings and Updates are not, no error just no #'s. seewww.whatsyourtweetworth.com and enter user name..not all info is coming through and yesterday it was working. thanks for the help- developer is out, but he can add more details once he is available.

Re: Change to Twitter API?
Still the same problem; the XML version of the API no longer seems to be returning the full data.

Is there a way to get a user's friends?
The friends method Returns up to 100 of the authenticating user's friends who have most recently updated, each with current status inline. It's also possible to request another user's recent friends list via the id parameter below. but this method does not provide an easy way to get all my friends, regardless of when they last updated their status. Thanks, Lien

You can page through that method to get all of your friends.

Re: INCOMPATIBILITY ALERT: response body of /account/verify_credentials changing Dec 10th
Thanks Alex, looks great. I'm playing with it now and am looking to use it to replace the additional show/user.json call that I previously needed. There are a few properties that are in user/show but not in the verify_credentials method, I was wondering if there are plans to include these in a future update, or if I'll need to continue using two separate calls as I am now. Those that are missing/not returned are: - friends_count - utc_offset - profile_text_color - statuses_count - profile_link_color - notifications - following - time_zone - created_at - profile_sidebar_fill_color - favourites_count - profile_sidebar_border_color - profile_background_color thanks On Dec 11, 1:07 pm, Alex Payne [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Just a reminder: today was the day for this change to go live, and it just went live.

Re: Is there a way to get a user's friends?
yeah, it is very easy to page through... the only thing that worried me was when doing a delete operation and not really knowing for sure if the number of friends was correct. i don't think the api returns 'how many friends' (but maybe my memory is faulty) - the thing i was worried about is if you decided to turn off the server and change the spark plugs, or some other act of god while the script was going through the pages of friends. waitman On Dec 10, 6:10 pm, Alex Payne [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: When you no longer get any User objects in the response.

Re: INCOMPATIBILITY ALERT: response body of /account/verify_credentials changing Dec 10th
