Last I'd checked, the whole Twitter needs to rebuild as a messaging architecture conversation is many months old, and probably well on its way to being implemented. http://blog.twitter.com/2009/01/building-on-open-source.html On Thu, Mar 12, 2009 at 9:19 PM, Joshua Perry j...@6bit.com wrote:

Preston, You have all of the follower data that you need from the API. Any follower data you can get from screen scraping is already exposed by the API. As Bruce indicated, the Social Graph APIs are a great place to start. If you give a more specific description of your needs, we can better guide

[twitter-dev] Re: How long to keep a cache?

2009-03-13 Thread Doug Williams
Jason, The answer depends on how your application is affected by a stale and possibly incorrect list. If the accuracy of the list is not critical and the application needs the API calls for other logic, you can cache for longer. If the list needs to be roughly accurate you should cache for a day.

Yes, API responses will often be returned from cache. As such, there might be brief delays between an activity and the corresponding chain of cache invalidations. On Thu, Mar 12, 2009 at 11:41, mwm miguelwmonte...@gmail.com wrote: Hi, I'm the developer of TwitteReader and I have remade the

I like this a lot. Currently, I don't think we could deliver it with decent performance. In the future, we'll have the capability to do this, I think. In the meantime, you could always write a proxy to do it. That's worked for a couple of mobile Twitter clients. On Thu, Mar 12, 2009 at 22:27,

[twitter-dev] Email Headers for Follower Request

Hi, I think that the idea of adding custom headers to your email notifications was genius and sure made my life a lot simpler. My question is - why there aren't such headers for the follower request (for blocked profiles)? Are there plans to add such headers to this messages too in the near

Nick, If you only have a status id and you would like to construct a URL, you are going to have to use a call to statuses/show [1] to get the screen name for the user then construct the URL accordingly: http://twitter.com/screen_name/status/status_id [1] -

Thanks for the input guys, we do have the screen name also, I just assumed since the status_id was unique that there was an HTML URL that would go directly to it. Nick Arnett wrote: On Fri, Mar 13, 2009 at 5:32 PM, Doug Williams d...@twitter.com mailto:d...@twitter.com wrote: Nick,
