[twitter-dev] Mobile Twitter has been blocked?
Hi, I was just wondering where I should post this, but it appears that Mobile Tweete (http://m.tweete.net) has been blocked. I worked up until about an hour ago, but now it appears as though no API requests are being processed. I can ping the twitter servers from the Tweete machine, but nothing else works. I have a staging server running the same trunk as the live box and that works fine (different machine/IP) so I can only assume I have been blocked. Any ideas on what I should do to avoid this. I realise that twitter is cracking down on 'threats' after the downtime about a month ago, but Mobile Tweete is a legitimate client that has been running for over a year now. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Kind Regards, Ben Novakovic -- Developer of Mobile Tweete

[twitter-dev] API REST problem
Hi, im using API REST for update data from a bot (@cltag), the script
works fine, but, only sometimes update the timeline.
When i run manually the php script it works perfectly one time, but it
doesnt do it anymore in one hour or two.
It use the TwitterSearch.php library. this is a piece of my code.
function twittear($mensaje){
$username = 'cltag';
$password = 'password';
$url = 'http://twitter.com/statuses/update.xml';
$curl_handle = curl_init();
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 2);
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, status=$mensaje);
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_USERPWD, $username:$password);
$buffer = curl_exec($curl_handle);
curl_close($curl_handle);
if (empty($buffer)) {
echo 'Error: mensaje vacio';
} else {
echo 'Ultimo Twitt a '.$username.':br '.$mensaje;
}
}
and then i call from another php script this funcion (the $mensaje is
a string with 5 hashtags from TwitterSearch.php).
Thanx!, and sorry but english is not my first language.
[twitter-dev] Re: API REST problem
There are a few status updates on @cltag that are fairly similar. If
you're posting the same tweet multiple times twitter will only accept
the first tweet and ignore the rest. To test this add a timestamp at
the end of each tweet like this status=$mensaje.time() and try
again.
Instead of checking for an empty buffer you may want to use $info =
curl_getinfo($curl_handle) after curl_exec() and check out that $info
array. More specifically $info['http_code']. That will make debugging
this and other issues a little easier for you.

[twitter-dev] Re: Early developer preview: Retweeting API
I've spent eleven days of reTweet contemplation and these thoughts percolated up: 1. twitter as a phenomena has been driven bottom up by the users 2. forcing new paradigms on our users will result in general unhappiness 3. presenting new paradigms as options to our users will allow happy migration Therefore, May I present to you, VART's : Value Added ReTweets. OK that's a stinky name but I see the value of allowing users to do the instant, no-thought-required new-style RT as well as the old- fashioned edit, trim, comment and send. I think it will take a while for users to grok that the auto retweet method preserves authorship, and a good UI will tag it as such and allow the value of the new api to be perceived. Maybe an additional parameter to statuses/update that this is indeed what's going on? @twittelator / http://stone.com On Aug 13, 2:52 pm, Marcel Molina mar...@twitter.com wrote: Retweeting has become one of the cultural conventions of the Twitter experience. It's yet another example of Twitter's users discovering innovative ways to use the service. We dig it. So soon it's going to become a natively supported feature on twitter.com. It's looking like we're only weeks away from being ready to launch it on our end. We wanted to show the community of platform developers the API we've cooked up for retweeting so those who want to support it in their applications would have enough time to have it ready by launch day. We were planning on exposing a way for developers to create a retweet, recognize retweets in your timeline and display them distinctively amongst other tweets. We've also got APIs for several retweet timelines: retweets you've created, retweets the users you're following have created, and your tweets that have been retweeted by others. - Creating Retweets The API documentation for creating retweets can be found here: http://apiwiki.twitter.com/Twitter-REST-API-Method%3A-statuses-retweet Reminder: Making requests to /statuses/retweet won't work yet as the feature has not launched. - Consuming Retweets in the Timeline 1) Retweets in the new home timeline We don't want to break existing apps that don't add retweeting support or create a confusing experience for that app's users. So the /statuses/friends_timeline API resource will remain unchanged--i.e. retweets will *not* appear in it. For those who *do* want to support retweets, we are adding a new (more aptly named) /statuses/home_timeline resource. This *will* include retweets. The /statuses/friends_timeline API resource will continue to be supported in version 1 of the API. In version 2 it will go away and be fully replaced by /statuses/home_timeline. The API documentation for the home timeline, which includes retweets, can be found here: http://apiwiki.twitter.com/Twitter-REST-API-Method%3A-statuses-home_t... Take a look at the example payload in the documentation. The original tweet that was retweeted Thanks appears in the timeline. Notice the embedded retweet_details element. It contains the user who created the retweet as well as the date and time the retweet occurred. 2) Retweeted by me timelinehttp://apiwiki.twitter.com/Twitter-REST-API-Method%3A-statuses-retwee... 3) Retweeted to me timelinehttp://apiwiki.twitter.com/Twitter-REST-API-Method%3A-statuses-retwee... 4) My tweets, retweetedhttp://apiwiki.twitter.com/Twitter-REST-API-Method%3A-statuses-retwee... Reminder: Making requests to any of these timelines won't work yet as the feature has not launched. UI considerations: -- Here are some early draft design mockups of how retweets might appear on the Twitter website (don't be surprised if it doesn't look exactly like this). They are presented just as an example of how retweets can be differentiated visually. http://s.twimg.com/retweet-dev-mocks-7-aug-09.png Things to note: 1) It was important for us that retweets are easily differentiated visually from regular tweets. If someone you follow retweets a tweet, the original tweet will appear in your timeline whether you follow the author of the original tweet or not, just as it currently does when users use the RT convention. Seeing a tweet in your timeline from someone you don't follow without being told it was shared from someone you *do* follow could be confusing. So we're encouraging developers to be mindful of this confusion and make retweets stand out visually from regular tweets. 2) The retweeted tweet shows the username of the first of your followers to retweet it. If other's subsequently retweet the same tweet, the retweet should only appear once in a user's timeline That's it for now.

Do what zillions of other applications do: Would you like to register your copy of [application name]? We promise not to spam you or sell your email address. Registration will ensure that you know when new versions are released and it lets us know who's using our application! Is this information worth $10/month? Randomly select one registered user each month and send them an iTunes gift card. You'd be AMAZED how much personal information users will give up for something like that.

[twitter-dev] Profile Image Size
Hello All, My question today is in regards to the size of the profile images provided via the API. The URL of the cloud hosted image is typically like this (from the usersShow method) profile_image_urlhttp://a3.twimg.com/profile_images/72068887/ n528708661_8369_normal.jpg/profile_image_url This is a 48x48 image, pretty small. By some guess work, I removed '_normal' from the URL I got and it keys to 200x208 image, but noticed the profile view on twitter.com actually uses this one. Does anyone care to comment on the availability of this, the longevity or if anyone has used this in their 3rd party app reliable for some period of time?
[twitter-dev] Incorrect Status Count for one Person
I'm calling the Statuses Friends API with: https://twitter.com/statuses/friends.xml and the information coming back is correct for everyone but one user. Her last status information is stuck at Aug 22. She has added many statuses since then through the website but her status count remains fixed at 3212. Her current status count (viewed through the website) is 3266 and her last status (as of now) was around 6:00pm August 25th. This happened before and then it appeared to update correctly for awhile but now it is stuck again. Any ideas why?? Thanks!

[twitter-dev] Incorrect Status Count
Hi there, I think there's been some problems with status counts recently - specifically some being too high. I'm calling the favourites method a lot, and updating cached user profiles from the favourited tweet's author info. To see if the user profile is fresher than what I already have cached, I'm comparing the status count field - accepting that I'll be inaccurate if someone deletes a lot of tweets and their status count goes down. However, what I've found right now is that sometime my own status count was reported as being about 20 higher than what it is right now (on website and with a user call) - and I certainly haven't deleted 20 tweets recently. Has there been a bug with status counts recently, or is there are reason they are sometimes higher than what the website reports? I think this is true with many users - but I've used myself as the test case as I know I haven't deleted that many tweets. Over time I have, but not within the last month. Cheers, Tim.
