[twitter-dev] Re: Twitter Apps
Your social app should probably consume the /follow resource in the Streaming API. Once you provide a list of all the userids on your service, you'll receive all public posts from those users with very low latency. This is the basic integration strategy for peering Twitter with social networks. -John Kalucki Services, Twitter Inc.

Hi Peter. I've examined the same issue and as far as I can see, there is no way to do this.

[twitter-dev] Streaming API + PHP and Python
Hi All, I am stumped. For several days I have tried to write a simple PHP script that can interact with the Streaming API by just pulling in the stream and echoing out the contents. This is the script I have: http://pastie.org/private/9owdxerouwhitz5nfacrw Right now it just pulls in the feed and echos it. I am not parsing anything at the moment. This works great for a while, then the fread will start timing out every 60 seconds (I have set the stream_timeout to 60). It will do this after an undeterministic number of updates or number of bytes received. netstat shows I am still connected to stream.twitter.com but Wireshark shows that no new data is arriving. I have tried this on 3 different machines (2 behind the same NAT/firewall, and 1 remote server) all with the same results. I even scraped together a simple python script which should do the same thing here: http://pastie.org/private/k0p5286ljlhdyurlagnq Same results works for a while, then it stops. Strangely, if I use CURL or telnet to open a raw socket to /spritzer or /gardenhose it stays up forever. I had a telnet socket open on /spritzer all weekend with no disconnects... In the PHP script, if I add code to detect the time-outs and immediately disconnect the socket and reconnect, the updates start flowing in again... This is nice for error checking, but I'd really like to figure out a more robust solution. 1) Can anyone find anything wrong with the scripts I've posted? 2) Does anyone have an example PHP script they are using to connect to the Streaming API which stays up indefinitely? I would like to thank John K at Twitter for helping me debug thus far. Thanks, -Chad
[twitter-dev] Re: Streaming API + PHP and Python
A theory: The PHP client has stopped reading data, for whatever reason. The TCP buffers fill on the client host, the TCP window closes, and wireshark shows no data flowing. netstat(1) will show the number of bytes waiting in the local TCP buffer. Baseless speculation: There's a limitation in the chunked transfer coding in the PHP client wherein it cannot support endless streams. Some resource is exhausted or administratively limited (php.ini), and the stream stops. -John Kalucki Services, Twitter Inc.

[twitter-dev] Re: Streaming API + PHP and Python
I thought those things, too... but the following things made me think otherwise: a) The stream stops after a different number of updates/bytes each time, and will happily go on forever if I put an error-catching loop in the script. b) The same thing is happening in the python script. c) Curl/telnet works fine, so it's not a system resource depletion issue ...still confused, -Chad On Mon, Jun 8, 2009 at 4:31 PM, John Kalucki jkalu...@gmail.com wrote: A theory: The PHP client has stopped reading data, for whatever reason.

[twitter-dev] Twitter conference
Hi everybody, Is there any planned Twitter Meetup in the near future? Is there any official schedule available online? I heard about #140conf but I was imagining something more developers oriented. Something to discuss possible improvements, add-ons or similar stuffs about Twitter and Twitter apps. I was actually imagining planning a Web or Phone conference between Twitter admins, developers and perhaps some interesting users? In both cases, the conference could be recorded as a podcast to be redistributed if necessary. Mixing both telephone and Web conferencing for users who are not able to join the Web meeting is possible. About the Web meeting, it would be possible to support 2 or 3 concurrent video streams but the number of participants would be unlimited. Regarding the telephone conferencing, it could be possible to integrate Skype, VoIP, regular phone lines and a callback function for users who can't make international phone calls. What do you think?

[twitter-dev] Re: Streaming API + PHP and Python
Hi Chad, We too have noticed the same behavior in PHP. Initially I wrote something very similar to your example, and noticed that I'd get a random time's worth of data before it disconnected. Then I rewrote it, which you can see at the below URL (modified to remove irrelevant code to this discussion), but I am still seeing similar results. Now it goes for 2-3 days, and then stops getting data. I can see that the script is still running via ps on the command line, and I can still see data going through the server, just PHP doesn't process it anymore. http://pastie.org/505012 I'd love to find out what is causing it. I do have a couple of theories specific to my code that I am trying - the only thing that sucks is that it is random, so the tests take a few minutes or days, depending on when it feels like dying. Let me know if this code works or helps you in any way.

[twitter-dev] Re: Streaming API + PHP and Python
Well, glad I'm not the only one :) But still a bummer it's happening... Another strange thing is that his does *not* seem to happen with the /follow streams. I have a PHP script running (same source, just requesting /follow instead of /spritzer) that has been connected for over 2 days. Of course, it may die at any moment, I'm not sure.. One big difference is that the throughput for that stream is much much less than the /hose streams, and I'm wondering if the sheer volume of bytes being pushed has something to do with it? That would be quite sad. I have PHP scripts acting as Jabber/XMPP clients that use the similar fsockopen/fread/fgets/fwrite mechanisms that have been up for months at a time, so I know those socket connections *can* stay up a long long time in theory. -Chad On Mon, Jun 8, 2009 at 5:00 PM, jstrellner j...@twitturly.com wrote: Hi Chad, We too have noticed the same behavior in PHP.

This code will throw cross-domain security exception.
The url http://twitter.com/friendships/exists.json can only be called
by ajax from twitter.com. Not from any other domain.
But you can use it in this way, script type=text/javascript

If this url supports callback parameter, specify a callback. It'll

[twitter-dev] How's SuperChirp managing to work around DM limits
The post limits make it nearly impossible to send messages to a large follower group. SuperChirp recently launched and I was wondering if they have any special arrangements with Twitter to do so. Just looking for some transparency on this. I'm spending a lot of time building out an application and something as trivial as special privileges could render all my time/effort useless.
[twitter-dev] Re: How's SuperChirp managing to work around DM limits
There is nothing in our system beyond normal whitelisting which increase direct messaging limits. Looking at the @SocialChirp account they are still a relatively new application and have likely not run into the messaging limits you are thinking of.

Sorry for the confusion. It's completely understandable. I was referring to public tweets when I said update limits so I should have been more clear. Regarding direct messages, we recently augmented whitelisting to increase DM limits because the number of requests we were receiving. We're mum on the exact number for the same reason we do not give an explicit number for search rate limits as it encourages judicious use. If you have a specific use case where it would be beneficial to better understand these limits, please feel free to contact me off list. Also, if you have a great and innovative idea for using DMs where the limits may be a problem, please get in touch. I'd be interested to learn about some of the use-cases we may not think of as we discuss these policies internally.

Doug, et. al., here's the problem(s) I'm running into. By forcing me to use paging for followers/ids and friends/ids, for someone like BritneySpears I now have to make over 350 requests to get through all her followers. Now I'm having huge rate limit issues because of that, not to mention how long it takes to get through the entire list. Would it be possible to set a number to specify how many user ids are returned per page so I don't have to make so many requests? In addition, I'm finding the pages aren't returning consistent data.

Try calling encode(utf-8) on the strings before you do anything else with them but when you do, you may find that you have to add Python components. In other words, if the string is foo, do this: foo = foo.encode(utf-8) Nick On Mon, Jun 8, 2009 at 4:52 PM, Chad Etzel jazzyc...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Jason, Thanks!

One big difference is that the throughput for that stream is much much less than the /hose streams, and I'm wondering if the sheer volume of bytes being pushed has something to do with it? That would be quite sad.

[twitter-dev] oAuth access_token fails on second try
Hello, I am very new to using the oAuth and twitter API and need help with this error 'The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized' when I try to use the access_token using the token that I have just received. The code works fine in connecting to twitter and allowing the user to login and granting access to my app and creating the token. Since I am still in the development phase I dont have a callback URL so once I get the token I copy and paste it in manually in the code to test. I then run my application and I am able to successfully access the token the very first time and update my status as well but all subsequent calls to access the token results in the error I mentioned previously. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am posting the webrequest that is being made: http://twitter.com/oauth/access_token?oauth_consumer_key=keyoauth_nonce=2013769oauth_signature_method=HMAC-SHA1oauth_timestamp=1244518302oauth_token=pNRjCKkrMUmSGFA5zKgE4BkuhxVlWXvnPN3Gpooauth_version=1.0oauth_signature=HPDE7R1%2f68OdGtTuJsMkVS2wVEg%3d Thanks,
[twitter-dev] How to get all messages between a start and end date
I am trying to get messages between a start and end date. I see that there is since and untill that does some part of it. But there is small issue with it. Search API limits number of messages returned to 1500. So if a search query is very popular, I will get 1500 messages that may just span 2-3 hours (if lucky :-)). Then there is another since_id. Again if i use that, it returns the results starting from latest. And as far as i can see since and untill does not take time part into consideration. Is there some trick or some API that i can use to get it done? Thanks

[twitter-dev] Re: Larger Users Not Returning Follower Data
I'll share are a few other wrinkles I've observed in the paged friends / followers API responses: - There are often more (sometime many more) pages than you'd expect based on the follower/friend counts listed in the profile - Pages in the middle of a long series of output pages usually but not always return 5000 elements - The only reliable way to determine the end of available output pages is to keep asking until an empty JSON response [] is returned - Friends / follow pages occasionally contain some duplicate entries from one page to another On the positive side, the paged output methods are *far* more reliable for high friend/follow lists than the old ones, when the list is long. The old methods were more convenient but only worked a small fraction of the time when the list was very long. I have test data for britneyspears from a few days ago, at that time the profile said 1,644,227, which would imply around 328 pages. There were actually 356 pages, containing 1,772,771 entries. I just looked at the profile page now and it says 1,745,417, which would still suggest 349 pages of data, less than what is actually there. And several of the pages return less than 5000 entries, so you can't assume that an unfilled page represents the end of the data.

[twitter-dev] Re: Larger Users Not Returning Follower Data
Jesse, Please submit an issue if you feel that this would contribute to the community. There are issues for paging bugs with the social graph methods so star them appropriately. I have some questions to the community at large using the social graph methods so please feel free to chime in: What is your caching scheme? How dependent is your data on being real time and why? What type of value are you generating from this data? What is your use case? There is interest in popular users' social graphs but from what I've seen they are rather edge case in terms of the value the contribute back to the community. A valuable use-case outside of a very specific need would help in prioritizing requests like this. I'm trying to understand where you (the community, not just Jesse) are generating value from these large follower lists so please feel free to chime in if you are doing projects on top popular users.

For each user make only one OAuth call to oauth/access_token. The returned token from that should be saved by you and used directly on all future normal API calls.
