I've noticed that several accounts that no longer exist on twitter are
still returned when accessed via the API.
Example: http://twitter.com/users/show/fitnesstwit.xml (returns a
valid xml dataset)
Despite the fact that http://twitter.com/fitnesstwitt returns a "sorry

other methods, as I m

Yea, I understood the differences. My question was why are there
different response codes for the same result? I can understand the
503 being inherited from Summize. However, the 400 vs 403 seems like
poor planning when building out the API. Is there a chance or are
there any plans to unify th

http://twitter.com/users/show could contain a tweet by a follower.
http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline - states that it returns the
20 most recent statuses posted from the authenticating user but it
shows status up
I have tested friendships/create using my python libraryvia oauth and
works fine.
My guess is you are not generating a valid oauth request (ex. invalid
signature).
Could you provide a link to the code you are trying and what libraries
you are using? It would help
others in diagnosing your issue.
Nobody knows anything about this? I've tried three different OAuth
frameworks (one in PHP and two in Objective-C) and all of them return
a "Page not found" for a /friendships/create.json
Is anybody on the Twitter team able to confirm or deny whether this is
a bug?

Tom,
We have a number of services doing this. Facebook was the first, and
probably last service that we'll actively push updates into. All the
rest grab statuses from Twitter. The easiest way is to put a widget on
the page and let the browser include the Tweets. If you want a deeper
integration,
I am pretty sure there are custom headers on the App Engine that indicate
the application that is sending the request.

A followup to this for those that are interested:
My real problem wasn't Data::Dumper, but rather the use of JSON::DWIW
It turns out that that module will convert a number into a
Math::BigInt object if the number is too large to be represented
natively and the Math::BigInt module is installed.
I'm noticing this problem as well. I'm making only a couple requests
per hour. I have tried setting the user-agent and the HTTP_REFERER
headers to a custom name, but Twitter doesn't seem to care.

Hi all,
I am having the same issue. I have tried setting a custom user-agent,
but this doesn't seem to affect the fact that twitter is limiting
based on I.P. address. I'm only making about 5 searches an hour and
80% of them are failing on app engine due to a 503 rate limit.

Hello,
I'm developing for the E.Factor, an entrepreneurial website. I have a
question that I am wondering if it's possible to do.
Facebook has an app that allows a user to configure their Facebook
status updates to automatically be updated when they post something to
their Twitter feed.
Is it po
I recently registered an app under @MacksMind, but the account I'll
use for support etc is @TweetMention.
So 2 questions: Should I care, because I'm not sure it really matters.
And then how would I fix it?
Anyone else still confused at how this works? I'm still confused at how
this is any different than the way it was before with the paging (other than
one-less API call).

Yes, it was Perl ...
This obviously wasn't JSON. It was the output of Data::Dumper that
produced this.
I guess I should get more sleep.

To be fair to the newer Twitter apps shouldn't all API posts not using
OAUTH show up as "from API" ?

I hadn't looked at this in a while, but apparently the status id
format has changed in the JSON response.
I see a live example such as:
'id' => ( {
'value' => [
'2050382',
'463'
Why not request whitelisting? You'll be able to make 20,000 requests
per hour. Provided you have a legitimate application, there's no
reason why you wouldn't be whitelisted, and it generally seems to
happen pretty quickly.

Hey, Twitter API staff, can you recommend a next step for me to take?
It's been more than a week since I issued a rate-limit request, and I
haven't heard anything, nor seen any changes. What to do when the rate
limit request form yields radio silence? Thanks!

Hi Tomas,
Thanks for the clarification.
One question - if you have many users, you will need to load all the
IDs
for All the users in the memory - isn't that too heavy?some of the
users have 10+ followers.
Thanks.
