[twitter-dev] Unexpected 401 Could not authenticate you on some oAuth POST requests
Since yesterday, my application’s main account (@twitoaster) received two abnormal 401 errors (both during a POST Request). There are strictly no reasons for such errors to be received (the same requests succeeded a few minutes later) and I was wondering if someone else had recently experienced oAuth problems? Receiving a 401 (when I should not) produces dramatic impact on my application. I thought this error was reserved to authentication issues? Did anything change? Here are my logs (I can provide you an HTTP trace for the next coming) - 2009-09-26 01:24:12 GMT --- HTTP POST: http://twitter.com/friendships/create.json --- Params: user_id=838301 (+oAuth stuffs, same as usual, working for other requests) 401 “Could not authenticate you” - 2009-09-26 06:04:15 GMT --- HTTP POST: /direct_messages/new.json --- Params: user_id=14621484 / text=x (+oAuth stuffs, same as usual, working for other requests)
[twitter-dev] Problems with rate_limit_status
Hi there, this might be obvious to everybody working longer with the API but to me its a bit unclear: If I call rate_limit_status from a script that I registered at http://twitter.com/oauth and using OAuth I get 2 API calls per hour as as base for my requests. If I call rate_limit_status from a not registered script with username/ password (Basic Auth) I get 150 API calls per hours as a base for the authenticated user. As far as I understand the documentation at http://apiwiki.twitter.com/Twitter-REST-API-Method:-account%C2%A0rate_limit_status I would expect the response of rate_limit_status via OAuth to be based on the users calls (ie. returning 150 calls per hours with how many calls are left). But: if I send the request authenticated with token and secret via OAuth I always get a response based on 2 calls per hour. Is that right? Thanks, Patrick
[twitter-dev] Accessing User status and other information by email ID
Hi Twitter API experts, By going through the REST/SEARCH API, it seems that there no option to get information from twitter using user's email ID. Could you please let me know if it is possible to call API using email ID instead of screen name or user_id or is there any option to get user_id using email id? Best Regards, Alok.
[twitter-dev] Twitter Rate Limit for IPs
Hi, I recently got whitelisted for 3 IPs which is listed under one single account. Does this mean that each IP will have a rate limit of 20,000 requests/hour for the REST API so collectively all 3 IPs should give 60,000 requests/hour for the REST API or does this mean that all 3 whitelisted IPs under one single account will have 20,000 requests/ hour for the REST API collectively? I used this command curl -u user:password http://twitter.com/account/rate_limit_status.xml; to get the rate limit status for each of the 3 servers with those IPs but it seems like all 3 IPs have only 20,000 requests/hour collectively. I'm a little confused about this because initially I thought that each IP whitelisted should give me an additional 20,000 requests/hour but maybe I'm wrong so I would greatly appreciate it if someone can answer this or show me a better way of querying for the rate limit status of each individual server. Many thanks to the benevolent stranger(s) for answering this...

[twitter-dev] Re: Twitter Rate Limit for IPs
I'm guessing that if you do a request that counts against your rate limit (rate_limit_status requests do not) from just 1 of your IPs, and then request the rate limit status on each of them, you will see that the one that made the non-rate_limit_status request now has 19,999, while the other two still have 20,000. My understanding is that each white-listed IP gets 20k authenticated GET requests per hour per authenticating account and an extra 20k non-authenticated GET requests per hour, whether the IPS are listed for the same account or not. As I understand it, across your 3 IPs, you should get 60k authenticated requests per hour per authenticating account, and an extra 60k non-authenticated GET requests per hour. Let us know what you find, as I've never heard about rate limit issues from someone with more than one white-listed IP. Hope this helps.

[twitter-dev] Re: broken links
While valid URLs, both http://is.gd/3HsuO,a and http://is.gd/3HsuO,%3Ca; give 404 errors when followed, while http://is.gd/3HsuO; gets a page view. You have to validly delimit URLs when you include them in tweets. If twitter did a shortening on you, then they may have a problem. If you did the shortening (which I think is the case, twitter would have used http:/bit.ly/...) then you need to be more careful when you compose your tweets. I could be all wrong about this, but I hope it helps.

[twitter-dev] Re: posting status updates returns error
My users are complaining about the same thing. On a perfectly valid tweet, the system kicks back an error that basically says the status parameter was empty. I cannot provide more debug information because I cannot reproduce the error at will. It is completely unpredictable.

Good luck buddy.. Btw I'm curious, What exactly are you referring to or focussing on when you say 'syntactic meaning of tweets' ?
