[twitter-dev] problem with http://twitter.com/statuses/update.xml
I have a php script that posts updates to http://twitter.com/statuses/update.xml It works reliably when posting to one account of mine, but when switching to another, it constantly says Problem with Twitter. Could not authenticate you. Try again later. I try again later, multiple times, and only sometimes it will actually work. With the other account it always works, so there's something up with Twitter and some accounts for such updating.

Also, for the account that works, if I changes its screen name to the account that doesn't work well, that working account stops working properly.

[twitter-dev] Re: Cache search results and advanced search
Looks like I am ready to show off my project even though it is a work in progress. I love open development and since this project is for fun, not money, I figured I'd open it up and get some feedback. I'm doing a few broad searches for tweets that appear to be personal forsale or classified ads. I know a few other sites are doing this, but I'm taking a different approach by not just looking for certain hashtags, although they are weighted highly. All tweets are stored locally so I can run them through a few spam killers, which still need some work. I also just started gathering location data, although it hasn't been implemented into the search yet. http://www.twitshop.com On Apr 7, 11:37 am, Doug Williams d...@twitter.com wrote: Matt, You can easily combine steps 3 and 4 by using the tweet's status_id as the primary key in the table you are using to store the updates.

If there is some niche overlap with some of your keywords, you might be able to preemptively filter out some tweets by using the not filter w/ the Search API. example: I want tweets about Apple (computers), but not people talking about apples and oranges. I can search for apple -orange -oranges which will eliminate tweets with orange or oranges from the results. Can you share your app? I'm interested to see what it's doing :) -Chad On Tue, Apr 7, 2009 at 9:50 AM, Matt matthewk...@gmail.com wrote: Hello all, My app has quickly outgrown the basic functionality of the search API. I am searching for a few specific hash tags along with some keywords to pull out a niche group of tweets. This results in about a 35% return of non-related tweets that are cluttering up my results. I am not looking into a method to cache these results to a database so I can do some advanced filtering and not hammer the api with requests. I'm kinda talking outloud, but here is what I'm thinking. (PHP MySQL) 1. I have 4 main queries that I need to run to get all results. 2. Setup a cron job that'll query the api hourly. 3. Parse through the results and store into temp database 4. Check for duplicate tweets since more than 1 query may return the same result 5. Since we can only return 100 results at a time I'll have to loop through pages and make additional queries. I don't think this will happen much as my search is very niche. Count tweets return vs expected results to detect end of results. 6. I'll store since_id in a config table as to not return redundant tweets. Once the data is in the database I should easily be able to filter out most of the spam using other methods not available through the search api. This should also make twitter happy as I am cutting down on api request drastically. Even if I bump my cron up to 15mins I would only be making 20 calls an hour. Does this sound like a reasonable basic plan? Is there anything I am overlooking? Thanks for reading!

Since we can only return 100 results at a time I'll have to loop through pages and make additional queries FYI, you're not really making additional queries to get more than 100 results, you're just asking for the next page of results from the same query. 6. I'll store since_id in a config table as to not return redundant tweets. You could just get the maximum statusID in your database, avoiding the need to store it separately... just don't delete that row until you have retrieved the next set. Once the data is in the database I should easily be able to filter out most of the spam using other methods not available through the search api. This should also make twitter happy as I am cutting down on api request drastically. Even if I bump my cron up to 15mins I would only be making 20 calls an hour. Does this sound like a reasonable basic plan? Is there anything I am overlooking? You're counting each page as a separate API call, right? If you do this four times an hour, with four queries, that's 16 queries. If you get five pages of results per query, that's 80 API calls... but I wouldn't worry about hitting the limits even at that rate. Nick

Hi there,
I don't see an issue with the code, and as you said it works for
one user and not another. Can you tell me what users it does and does
not work for? A few other things you can try:
1. Change the password of the user it's not working for and trying
with the new password
2. Setting curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 1) and send the standard
error output from your script (probably in the Apache error log,
unless you run from the command line)
» If you provide that info please be sure to obscure the
'Authorization' header so we don't all know your password.
Thanks;

I try again later, multiple times, and only sometimes it will actually

[twitter-dev] status update example in Ruby with OAuth...
Hi there,
I've been using the Twitter API for a while now using HTTP
authentication to do posts for my two Twitter apps and I'm trying to
get my head around OAuth. I setup a test app successfully following
the instructions here: http://apiwiki.twitter.com/OAuth+Example+-+Ruby
The example given is a get request, which I get. I took a look at
the OAuth gem documentation and have been trying to do a simple status
update and haven't been having any luck.
Following the format of the tutorial link above, I've tried
constructing a post like this...
@response = UsersController.consumer.request(:post, '/statuses/
update.xml', @access_token, {:status = 'testing a post from my sample
app'}, { 'Content-Type' = 'application/xml' })
Do i need to encode the status? It's currently failing. If someone
could post an example, it would be really helpful.
Thanks,
-A

[twitter-dev] Re: Read and store Twitter responses
I've broken the task into logical steps to get you started. I'd suggest searching Google and the wiki [1] for the libraries and implementation details for each: 1. Download a timeline or a set of statuses. 2. Iterate through that set of statuses, pulling out each individual status. 3. For each status in the set, perform an SQL insert to save the status. A great way to learn is to try and find sample code that gets you each of these steps separately, then put them together. There is plenty of PHP and MySQL sample code available online or in books to get you started. 1. http://apiwiki.twitter.com/Libraries#PHP Thanks, Doug Williams Twitter API Support http://twitter.com/dougw On Mon, Apr 20, 2009 at 1:53 PM, Andrew Badera and...@badera.us wrote: This isn't a SQL tutorial nor a MySQL list.

[twitter-dev] Re: Read and store Twitter responses
This may not be the best thing to do in the case of statuses. Optimization implies that you have two tables (minimum), one for the user info, and one for the tweets. Doing a batch update, means that you're skipping the step of checking to see if the user is already in the database, so for every tweet, you will add the same user again. That will you will slow you down much more than the batch advantage, and will create confusion (unless you store all in one table, and that's even more burdensome). Now, does anyone know if there's some obscure version of UPDATE that takes parameters to allow me to use UPDATE instead of INSERT (saving me from the extra step of checking of the person is already in my database).

Optimization implies that you have two tables (minimum), one for the user info, and one for the tweets. Doing a batch update, means that you're skipping the step of checking to see if the user is already in the database, so for every tweet, you will add the same user again. That will you will slow you down much more than the batch advantage, and will create confusion (unless you store all in one table, and that's even more burdensome). Now, does anyone know if there's some obscure version of UPDATE that takes parameters to allow me to use UPDATE instead of INSERT (saving me from the extra step of checking of the person is already in my database).

For each status in the set, perform an SQL insert to save the status. Or, I would hope, create an array of inserts and do a multi-insert, which will be far faster than iterating through a list. http://www.desilva.biz/mysql/insert.html I'll bet you knew that, but I just had to note it because the performance difference is enormous.
